Ecosystem Services and Mapping of Amenity Trees in Port Harcourt Zoo, Nigeria African Journal of Agriculture Technology and Environment Vol. 6(1): 106-117 June, 2017 E-ISSN: 2346-7290 Ecosystem services and mapping of amenity trees in Port Harcourt Zoo, Nigeria *Oladele A.T. and Udo N.E. Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria *Corresponding author (E-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT This paper reports the benefits, which selected stakeholders derive from amenity trees in Port Harcourt Zoo, Nigeria. Two sets of structured questionnaires were administered for data collection among some stakeholders - tourist (99) and residents in the neighbourhood (98), between August and November, 2015. The trees encountered were identified while their benefits to respondents’ were noted and co-ordinates carefully recorded with GPS equipment and subsequently mapped. Results revealed that 41.4% of the tourists were attracted to the park by trees and animals, 39.4% were attracted by the serenity and cool breeze derived under and around the trees. Some tourists visited for collection of plant parts for medicine (18.0%). Benefits derived from the amenity trees by the neighbourhood around the zoo include: cool breeze (35.0%), serene/scenic view of the environment (21.0%), noise reduction (26.0%), games/ bird viewing (10.0%) and local medicinal plants collection (8.0%). In all, 84 amenity trees were encountered in the zoo park comprising 29 species belonging to 18 families. Identified stakeholders were observed to derive environmental, psychological, social and livelihood support benefits from the amenity trees. Keywords: Urban trees, Ecosystem services, Zoo stakeholders, medicinal plants.

Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Pollutant standards indices (PSI) were computed for each study area to indicate the concentration level of each pollutant in the study area, while air quality indices were computed to show the degree of air pollution effects on human health in Port Harcourt and its environs. The Air Quality index (AQI) revealed the health effects on people in the respective study area may be experienced. Results of AQI indicated that Eleme, Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt are most polluted areas compared to Oyigbo, Ikwerre Local Government Area (LGA) and Etche in the dry season. Keywords: Pollutant Standard Index, Air Quality Index, Dry Season, Criteria Air Pollutants. 1. INTRODUCTION Generally, the study revealed that Eleme, Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt areas are exposed to high pollutants concentrations, especially sulphur dioxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter, which may adversely affect public health or aggravate the health conditions of the exposed population (Chelana, et al., 2002; Longhurst, 2005; Efe, 2006; and Antai et al., 2016).

  • Trees and Sustainable Urban Air Quality in Port Harcourt, Nigeria

Department of Geography and Environmental Studies Faculty of Social Sciences Ignatius Ajuru University of Education Rumuolumeni, P.M.B 5047 Port Harcourt [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper examined the relevance of trees for the promotion of Port Harcourt ecosystem. The paper argued that Port Harcourt as a major urban centre in Nigeria is growing in size and complexity. As a major industrial and commercial city, it is presently experiencing an increase in air and noise pollution. This pollution is a function of two primary factors: increase in the use of fossil fuel by the rapid growth in automobiles and industrial domestic power plants (generators) and growing affluence in the life style of city residents. Thus, there is correspondent increase in traffic, noise and emission of C02 (carbon dioxide) and Co (carbon monoxide). As a result of this, air pollution over Port Harcourt had reached a critical stage and efforts must be made to combat this environmental challenge. The cheapest and clearest way of addressing this problem is by massive planting of trees across the length and breadth of the city.

  • The Legend and the Man Mangiri
    The Legend and the Man Mangiri THE LEGEND AND THE MAN Mangiri, Stanley Golikumo (Ph.D) Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Niger Delta University, Wiiberforce Island Bayeisa State, Nigeria [email protected] Abstract Every artist of every age do impact the people and environment which he belongs. As such many Nigerian artists have expressed themselves through their art works in different media on the social, cultural, political, and economic experiences in various degrees, qualities, and techniques. Many of these artists have been studied in some ethnic groups in Nigeria but not much attention has been given to the study of artists of Ijo of the Niger Delta. The artists of I jo ethnic groups appear to have been over - sighted by researchers. Hence, the research focused on the study of Jackson Ayarite Waribugo - his status, family life, works of art and their influence on the society. This is also aimed at terminating the era of publications on Ijo which reflects the Western perception of the region. That is hope of a new approach towards the understanding of the ijo, its artists, its works of art, its people and its vast potential. The paper attempts to present a detailed record of modern Ijo artistic heritage. Instruments such as interview, and photographic recordings of visuals were used to achieve the desired objective. The study reveals that the artist combined perceptual and conceptual tendencies by expressing cultural identity through the use of Western idioms. At the same time, it provides basic information on the activities of each zone as an integral part of the national and international community.

  • Port Harcourt, Nightmare, City, Garden, Population, Rivers State
    World Environment 2014, 4(3): 111-120 DOI: 10.5923/j.env.20140403.03 Port Harcourt, the Garden City: A Garden of Residents Nightmare Kio-Lawson D.*, Dekor J. B. Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria Abstract Port Harcourt, the administrative and commercial capital of oil Rivers State is referred to as the Garden city of Nigeria because of its richness in greenery. With a high concentration of economic opportunities coupled with a well developed transportation network the city was quick to emerge as the nerve centre of economic activities in the Niger Delta as well as one of the most industrialized cities in Nigeria. From a small population of 235,098 in 1963, its current population stands at 1.5 million. This astronomical increase in population is not without its own problem. The city today is regarded as one of the most congested cities in Nigeria with several nightmarish problems facing both the government and residents. This paper clinically examined these problems as they are with the aim of providing answer to the question of “what is to be done” to tackle the problems effectively. This paper was able to establish that the failure of the government to meet up its social responsibility to the people is largely responsible for most of the problems experienced by residents in the city. This work was made possible after several months of intense field work. Primary data collected through personal observation, face-to-face interview and discussion with residents of the city was very helpful. Past works of previous scholars relating to this research also contributed greatly to the success of this research.
