  • Wildlife and Wild Places in Mozambique K
    Wildlife and Wild Places in Mozambique K. L Tinley, A. J. Rosinha, Jose L. P. Lobao Tello and T. P. Dutton This account of the national parks, reserves and other places worthy of pro- tection in Mozambique gives some idea of the wealth of wildlife in this newly independent country. One special reserve has 25,000 buffaloes—the largest concentration in the world. Protected conservation areas in Mozambique fall into six categories: 1. Parques nacionais - national parks; 2. Reservas especiais - special game reserves; 3. Reservas parciais - partial reserves; 4. Regimen de vigilancia - fauna protection zones; 5. Coutadas - hunting and photographic safari areas, normally run on a private concession basis; 6. Reservas florestais - forest reserves. Some unique areas are still outside this system but have been recommended for inclusion, together with other ecosystems worthy of inclusion in the future. Game farming or ranching is attracting considerable interest; one private and one government scheme have been proposed. NATIONAL PARKS 1.* Parque Nacional da Gorongosa (c. 3770 sq km). Situated at the southern limit of the great rift valley with an extensive flood plain and associated lakes, this park includes Brachystegia woodland Acacia and Combretum savanna. Sharply rising inselbergs (volcanic protrusions) are also a feature. The ungulates are typical floodplain species, including elephant (abundant), buffalo, wildebeest, waterbuck, zebra, reedbuck, impala and oribi; on the elevated woodland and savanna habitat there are black rhino, eland, Lichten- stein's hartebeest, sable, kudu, nyala, Sharpe's grysbok, suni, blue and grey duiker, and klipspringer are common on rock outcrops; lion, leopard and hippopotamus are abundant. Both land and water birds are prolific and diverse, and crocodiles are very common.

They also make up a large proportion of emerging infectious diseases. (2) Methods: A scoping review of peer-reviewed publications was performed and based on the guidelines set out in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. (3) Results: The final set of publications consisted of 145 publications. Thirty-two viruses were identified in the publications and 50 African ungulates were reported/diagnosed with viral infections. Eighteen countries had viruses diagnosed in wild ungulates reported in the literature. (4) Conclusions: A comprehensive review identified several areas where little information was available and recommendations were made. It is recommended that governments and research institutions offer more funding to investigate and report viral diseases of greater clinical and zoonotic significance. A further recommendation is for appropriate One Health approaches to be adopted for investigating, controlling, managing and preventing diseases. Diseases which may threaten the conservation of certain wildlife species also require focused attention.

Angola’s fauna was severely decimated during the long-lasting civil war following the country’s independence. During a round trip from Lubango (Huíla province), pass- ing through the provinces of Benguela, Cuanza sul, Luanda, Bengo and finally to Uíge, we documented a variety of bushmeat trade, mainly along the roadside.
