Adventure in the Bijagos Archipelago ADVENTURE IN THE BIJAGOS ARCHIPELAGO Unspoiled nature, encounters with populations respecting their ancestral traditions, observation of exceptional biodiversity: this is the programme that we are proposing during an all-new 8-day circuit in the Bissagos Islands. You can experience this exceptional cruise, tinged with adventure, aboard Le Dumont-d’Urville. The Bissagos archipelago, located off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, is one of the most preserved and protected on the planet. Classified as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it is made up of 88 islands, most of which are uninhabited. Nestling in the heart of an environment which often remains untouched by humans, they offer the rare visitors who explore them the opportunity for a unique and authentic experience. During your Zodiac® excursions, you will get as close as possible to nature, between pale-sand beaches, mangrove stretching as far as the eye can see, savannah, palm trees and baobabs. Birds of prey, pelicans, monkeys, sea turtles, crocodiles, saltwater hippos and all kinds of snakes are at here. home During your trip, you will also meet the Bidyogo people, particularly on the islands of Caravela, Carache and Orango.

    A integridade feminina e a (re)construção de uma nação: O caso da Guiné-Bissau1 Brandon D. Lundy2, Raul Mendes Fernandes3 & Kezia Darkwah4 Resumo Este artigo reconhece e celebra o papel das mulheres na (re)construção da nação na Guiné-Bissau. A perspetiva de género e o enquadramento histórico e multiescalar demons- tram que as mulheres desempenharam um papel constituinte na edificação da nação ao longo do tempo e do espaço. Como é que as mulheres guineenses têm operacionalizado a sua agência na Guiné-Bissau? Quais são as suas novas formas de agência? A análise da construção da nação revela os papéis fundacionais das mulheres, os seus aspetos únicos de investi- mento económico inovador que tiveram lugar antes, durante e após o período colonial, e os esforços políticos contem- porâneos das mulheres para a construção de um país bem-su- cedido e inclusivo. Se o género possibilitou oportunidades únicas para a promoção da nacionalidade, as restrições socio- políticas impostas às mulheres atualmente devem ser avalia- das. Teorias dos feminismos africanos e a interseccionalidade ajudam a explicar este fenómeno.

  • BIJAGOS ARCHIPELAGO: Impacts and Challenges for Environmental Sustainability
    ISSN: 2446-6549 DOI: 10.18766/2446-6549/interespaco.v2n5p291-305 BIJAGOS ARCHIPELAGO: Impacts and challenges for environmental sustainability João Paulo Madeira PhD in Social Sciences (School of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Lisbon – ISCSP-UL). Auxiliar Professor at the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities (DCSH) – University of Cape Verde (Uni-CV). Researcher at the Centre for Public Administration & Public Policies (CAPP-ISCSP-UL) and at the Social Science Research Lab (LPCS-Uni-CV). [email protected] ABSTRACT The Archipelago of Bijagos in Guinea-Bissau is currently subject to numerous external impacts affecting their secular equilibrium. The islands were never contemplated by the colonial development, with the exception of two modest ports in Bubaque and Bolama. The latter place was the capital of the country from 1913 to 1941. The archipelago has attracted increasing interest on the part of economic agents, most of which are incompatible with the guarantee of sustainable development. There has been a general impoverishment as regards the preservation of marine resources, particularly with regard to the internal demographic pressure from a population that has doubled since 1981 and due to other external factors related to the neighboring and subsequent migration depletion of resources not renewable. The article analyzes the main vulnerabilities that the archipelago is currently facing and how natural resources have been preserved. The article follows an interdisciplinary approach between different areas of knowledge especially in projects involving both different academic fields (biology, ecology, geography, anthropology and history), for the non- scientific practices that include actors and institutions. Keywords: Natural Resources; Sustainability; Potentials; Vulnerabilities.

The green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is by far the most widespread and abundant of the 5 species that nest in Guinea-Bissau. Between ca. 7000 and 29,000 green turtle nests are laid per year at the globally important site of Poila˜o Island, with a few hundred more on surrounding islands. There is a marked interspecific variability in nesting seasonality, with green and hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) turtles nesting mostly during the rainy season and olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) and leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) during the dry season. Informal interviews all over the coastal zone suggest that sea turtle populations have markedly declined within living memory.

Universidade de Cabo Verde (Cabo Verde) Resumo A sociedade Bijagó articula-se em torno de aldeias, unidades políticas e económicas de base que gozam de autonomia de decisão e de uma quase autossuficiência. Os clãs estão organizados por sexo e classes de idade, cada um desempenhando um papel e possuindo deveres na comunidade. Cada ilha ou aldeia possui as suas próprias formas de adoração que estão voltadas para ídolos ou deuses - irãs - entidades dotadas de poder para fazer o bem ou o mal e às quais as preces são dirigidas. Cada ilha é considerada propriedade do clã e do seu irã como guardião. Existem áreas consideradas sagradas, o que significa que ninguém se pode estabelecer nelas, sendo interdito o seu uso continuado. Este é o caso de certos espaços em Rubane, Enu, Orango e Carache. Estas áreas são particularmente importantes para a conservação da natureza, uma vez que misturam vários tipos de ambientes, desde as savanas e mangueirais até aos bancos de areia, entre os canais de mar. Pretende-se com este artigo compreender como se articula a gestão das terras e a divisão dos espaços e explicar como se processam as decisões relativamente à preservação do ambiente e dos recursos naturais.
