This survey was part of an ongoing research programme in the COMACO areas and controls which aims to monitor changes in the distribution and abundance of wildlife species. The same methods (Systematic Reconnaissance Flights with consistent observer and pilot training) are used from year to year to allow valid comparison between surveys. In 2009 the Wildlife Conservation Society organised this valley-wide sample count, extending beyond the areas normally sampled in the yearly programme. This is the first time a Luangwa Valley count has been carried out since 1973 (Caughley & Goddard 1975). Previous surveys in the ecosystem were done by the WCS Flight Programme in 2006, 2007 & 2008, and by the ZAWA in 1999 & 2002 (WCS 2007, 2008, 2009 and ZAWA 1999, 2002). WCS normally does a yearly count of the COMACO chiefdoms in the Game Management Areas outside the national park system, and the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) and the Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) conduct surveys in North and South Luangwa National Parks. Censuses have been carried out by WCS in Lukusuzi National Park and a part of the Musalangu Game Management Area in 2006, 2007 and 2008. As these areas lie outside the normal COMACO project areas, they should act as ‘control’ areas for long-term monitoring efforts. This ecosystem approach to surveys was expected to provide more reliable and valid data on distribution and numbers. Wildlife move freely in much of the Luangwa Valley, and surveys that cover only small parts of the system risk bias due to movements of animals in and out of the survey areas. 2009 Survey Boundary Yearly COMACO surveys 2007 NLNP Survey Chiefdoms Kambombo GMA Luwingu Isangano National Park Musalangu Chambeshi Tem bwe Mukungule Chikwa North Luangwa Chifunda Bangweulu Nyampala Kafinda Luawata Kazembe Lavushi Manda Munyamadzi Lumimba Chitungulu Kasanka Luambe Mwanya Lukusuzi South Luangwa Upper Lupande l Mfuwe Lupande Malawi Chisomo Sandwe West Petauke Mozambique Luano Rufunsa Figure 1: Luangwa Valley survey area.

Transects were flown in east-west directions at the indicated spacing (Figure 2). Transects were determined prior to all flights and transect endpoints programmed into GPS units; transects were subdivided into 2.5 km subunits also determined by GPS points.

The survey took place from the 29 September to the 04 October 2008. Systematic Reconnaissance Flight methodology (Norton-Griffiths 1978) was followed for the aerial survey and for data analysis. The survey aircraft (Cessna 182) was fitted with a digital radar altimeter and programmable Garmin GPS unit (GPS296). The survey pilot was responsible for safety, navigation to and along daily transect assignments, and reporting to the survey coordinator. The front seat observer (FSO) in the co-pilot’s seat was responsible for recording radar altimeter readings to the nearest 10 feet at the beginning of each subunit. The FSO recorded geo-reference information on data sheets and announced the beginning of each subunit. For each subunit, FSOs recorded the presence or absence of human activities

  • 4. Draft Code for Transboundary Protected Areas in Times of Peace and Armed Conflict
    4. Draft Code for transboundary protected areas in times of peace and armed conflict Explanatory notes This Draft Code is offered to neighbouring States, jurisdictions and other stakeholders concerned with the establishment and management of TBPAs. It may be used in its present form or as a basis for developing a comparable code suited to the particular needs of a country or region. IUCN would welcome requests for technical assistance in interpreting the Draft Code and applying it to particular local or regional circumstances. It is recommended that the Draft Code be made widely available to protected area authorities, key sectoral agencies, the armed forces (including border and coast guards), local governments, relevant non-governmental organisations, the media and other inter- ested parties, especially in border regions. A supportive education programme will be needed for this Draft Code to reflect the aims and guide the actions of all concerned interests. Awareness-building should be carried out on a continuing basis with all sectors of society, to foster broad acceptance of the need to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services and to protect the integrity of TBPAs, even in emergency situations. Rationale for the Draft Code The Draft Code aims to contribute to the progressive development of legal and insti- tutional frameworks for the establishment and management of TBPAs in times of peace or armed conflict. Context Many States, sub-national units and autonomous areas share at least one land, freshwater or marine boundary. These boundaries were usually established for political or other social reasons, without reference to land or water systems.

  • Dear All My Header Is a Dingy Victoria Falls in the Distance from My House. It Is Raining, and Raining, and Cloudy and Then
    Dear All My header is a dingy Victoria Falls in the distance from my house. It is raining, and raining, and cloudy and then raining some more … love it … Spending my days working in my garden … when it is not raining, that is … As it is close to Christmas and the end of the world never happened, I thought it would be a chance for me to be nice. I am occasionally ‘told off’ for being too critical about Zambia, but bad things tend to make news … as in all media. But today I am filled with bonhomie and good will towards everyone. So, I thought I would tell you a bit about the history of the Livingstone Weekly. History of the Livingstone Weekly The Livingstone Weekly actually started about 6 years ago, but there is a lot which went before. It all started in 1994 with Kristin Ese of ‘Historical Guide to Livingstone’ fame. Kristin started the Livingstone Argus under the Livingstone Residents Association. I helped Kristin with a bit of her English – being Norwegian Kristin’s English went a bit squonk now and again. When Kristin went home to Norway the Argus was taken over by Margaret Whitehead for several years. When Margaret became a Councillor for the Livingstone Town Council, she gave up the Argus because she felt that she couldn’t be part of the Council and, at the same time, comment on it. Livingstone Argus, Issue 3, October 1994 It was then, in 1999, that I started The Livingstonian, a monthly newsletter to replace the Livingstone Argus.

The Project falls under the umbrella of a REDD+ project as defined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It, therefore, must be compliant with the safeguard policies for an internationally recognized REDD+ project. This Process Framework (PF) has been prepared to contribute to the smooth execution of the Project by providing guidelines to address potential adverse social (particularly, livelihood) impacts. An Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) report and a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) have also been prepared as separate documents. PURPOSE OF THE PROCESS FRAMEWORK This process framework has been prepared because the ZIFL Project may cause restrictions in access to natural resources in legally designated parks and protected areas.

It is one of the best-watered parts of Africa with sixteen ecosystems contained within four biomes and with a wealth of minerals and natural resources, though its soils are generally leached and infertile. It lies at an altitude of between 2,164 and 3,500 metres, presenting a generally equitable climate of the ‘savannah’ type with three seasons: cool-dry (April-August), hot-dry (August-November) and warm-wet (November-April) - its ecology being determined by the long dry season and the single wet season.. The rainfall is highest in the northern parts of the territory, which reveal, in the presence of remnants of mushitu tropical moist- forest, evidence that the present Congo moist-forest had at one time extended much further east. Such a rich ecological environment - particularly associated with the hippo, crocodile and fish-filled perennial rivers and wetlands - produced the Elysian Fields in which vast herds of lechwe, buffalo, eland, wildebeest and tsessebe, together with other species of antelope, were coursed by the great African predators.
