  • Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi
    YIKA-VWAZA TRUST RESEARCH STUDY REPORT N (2017/18) Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi By Sopani Sichinga ([email protected]) September , 2019 ABSTRACT In 2018 – 19, a survey on vascular plants was conducted in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve. The reserve is located in the north-western Malawi, covering an area of about 986 km2. Based on this survey, a total of 461 species from 76 families were recorded (i.e. 454 Angiosperms and 7 Pteridophyta). Of the total species recorded, 19 are exotics (of which 4 are reported to be invasive) while 1 species is considered threatened. The most dominant families were Fabaceae (80 species representing 17. 4%), Poaceae (53 species representing 11.5%), Rubiaceae (27 species representing 5.9 %), and Euphorbiaceae (24 species representing 5.2%). The annotated checklist includes scientific names, habit, habitat types and IUCN Red List status and is presented in section 5. i ACKNOLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, let me thank the Nyika–Vwaza Trust (UK) for funding this work. Without their financial support, this work would have not been materialized. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) Malawi through its Regional Office (N) is also thanked for the logistical support and accommodation throughout the entire study. Special thanks are due to my supervisor - Mr. George Zwide Nxumayo for his invaluable guidance.

Bothma Co-supervisor: Prof. M.W. van Rooyen in the Centre for Wildlife Management Department of Animal and Wildlife Sciences Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria MAGISTER SCIENTIAE (WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT) ABSTRACT This study was conducted on Tswalu Kalahari Reserve in the eastern Kalahari region of South Africa. The long-term sustainability of the valued African or Cape buffalo Syncerus caffer caffer was investigated in an area that falls outside their permanent historical distribution. The habitat utilisation of the buffalo population and their range use patterns were investigated. Seasonal differences were apparent in habitat utilisation and were guided by nutritional needs and climatic variables. Range use patterns revealed an increase in range size during the cold, dry season. The buffalo density on Tswalu was the lowest recorded in the literature to date with 0.15 buffalo/km². The animals showed seasonal changes in their feeding preferences with occasional browsing. During the cold, dry season the population was under severe nutritional stress.

  • The Perceptions, Attitudes and Knowledge of Traditional Healers and Traders About Using Cultivated Plants in South Africa
    The perceptions, attitudes and knowledge of traditional healers and traders about using cultivated plants in South Africa. Nolwazi Sinqobile Mbongwa A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, Johannesburg, South Africa. Supervisors: Professor Wayne Twine & Dr Vivienne L. Williams DECLARATION Johannesburg, August 2018 I, Nolwazi Sinqobile Mbongwa, hereby declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for a Master of Science degree at the University of the Witwatersrand. This dissertation has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university. Date: 24 August 2018 Name: Nolwazi Sinqobile Mbongwa Page i ABSTRACT Afrocentric worldviews believe in the existence of ancestors, and traditional healers are consulted for communication with them. Traditional healers dispense various animal and plant parts to rid their clients of the problems that they might be facing. Animal and plant parts that are considered medicinal in the broad sense are therefore vital in African belief systems. Medicinal plants are rapidly declining in the wild due to over-harvesting, development and urbanisation, and various initiatives such as law enforcement have been used to combat the decline, but they have not been successful. Cultivation is one of the methods that has been used to mitigate the decline of medicinal plants. Cultivation is viable because healers and traders can easily practice it, if they have the necessary requirements for it such as land, water, propagation material and time. Importantly, however, there is limited scientific knowledge about the acceptability of cultivated medicinal plants by healers and traders.

  • Bark Re-Growth and Wood Decay in Response to Bark Stripping for Medicinal Use
    Bark re-growth and wood decay in response to bark stripping for medicinal use By Ntombizodwa Ngubeni Thesis presented in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Ecology at the Faculty of AgriSciences University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Dr Shayne Jacobs Co-Supervisor: Prof. Thomas Seifert February, 2015 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration ` By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own original work, that I am the authorship owner thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: Date: 13/02/2015 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights res ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Plants have been used for centuries to treat a wide range of ailments in the history of all civilizations. However, a growing interest in medicinal plants requires appropriate management to prevent over-exploitation of target species. The challenge for scientists is to find equilibrium between resource exploitation and the maintenance of viable populations of target species. Sustainability of use requires an understanding of the ecological, economic and socio-cultural aspects of resource use and the interaction between these factors. This research focuses on the ecological and socio-cultural aspects required to underwrite species-specific sustainable harvesting systems for bark used for traditional medicine. The social survey conducted in the form of structured interviews with traditional healers reported 69 plant species used for medicinal purposes in the southern Cape.

ABSTRACT: Some ethnobotanical information on 53 Euphorbiaceae plant species were collected in ethnobotanical results of surveys carried out in Lubumbashi (DR Congo) and its surroundings from 2000 to 2012. These Euphorbiaceae species surveyed belong to 5 biological types whose mesophanerophytes (38%), microphanerophytes (34%), nanophanerophytes (13%), therophytes (9%) and Chamaephytes (6%). The majority of these plant species are growing in the miombo and forest gallery. These results also show that the roots or their bark (32.75%), the stems or their bark (28.65%) and leaves (26.32%) are the most used parts of plants in traditional medicine. The decoction (43.57%) is the most preparation routes of drug recipes and the drink (43.57%) and the local application (19.29%) are the most used administration routes.

Available online 26 March 2015 Results: A total of 45 species belonging to 24 different families were identified, of which the dominant Keywords: family was the Fabaceae with 13 species (28.9%) followed by the Asteraceae and Solanaceae with Ethnobotanical survey 3 species each (6.7 %). A total of 28 of these plant species (62.2%) have been shown to have anticandidal Candidiasis activity and 14 species (31%) have been recorded for antifungal uses in the literature. Amongst the 45 Venda species recorded, 51% were trees, 33% were shrubs, and 16% were herbs. The most widely used plant Traditional healers Antifungal species were Acacia caffra, Clerodendrum glabrum, Croton gratissimus, Elaeodendron transvaalense, Faurea saligna, Hippocratea longipetiolata, Osyris lanceolata, Richardia brasiliensis, Schkuhria pinnata, Schotia brachypetala, Spilanthes acmella, Strychnos potatorum, Vangueria infausta subsp.

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2018) 18:305 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12906-018-2372-9 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Croton gratissimus leaf extracts inhibit cancer cell growth by inducing caspase 3/7 activation with additional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities Emmanuel Mfotie Njoya1,2* , Jacobus N. Eloff1 and Lyndy J. McGaw1 Abstract Background: Croton species (Euphorbiaceae) are distributed in different parts of the world, and are used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments including cancer, inflammation, parasitic infections and oxidative stress related diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic properties of different extracts from three Croton species. Methods: Acetone, ethanol and water leaf extracts from C. gratissimus, C. pseudopulchellus, and C. sylvaticus were tested for their free radical scavenging activity. Anti-inflammatory activity was determined via the nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory assay on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, and the 15-lipoxygenase inhibitory assay using the ferrous oxidation-xylenol orange assay. The cytotoxicity of the extracts was determined on four cancerous cell lines (A549, Caco-2, HeLa, MCF-7), and a non-cancerous African green monkey (Vero) kidney cells using the tetrazolium-based colorimetric (MTT) assay. The potential mechanism of action of the active extracts was explored by quantifying the caspase-3/− 7 activity with the Caspase-Glo® 3/7 assay kit (Promega). Results: The acetone and ethanol leaf extracts of C. pseudopulchellus and C. sylvaticus were highly cytotoxic to the non-cancerous cells with LC50 varying between 7.86 and 48.19 μg/mL. In contrast, the acetone and ethanol extracts of C.
