  • Building Bridges in Biosphere Reserves –
    Building Bridges in Biosphere Reserves – The role of natural and social values in integrative conservation and development concepts in Madagascar Mananara-Nord and Sahamalaza Iles-Radama Biosphere Reserves I n a u g u r a l d i s s e r t a t i o n zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.) an der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald vorgelegt von Nadine V. M. Fritz-Vietta geboren am 05.10.1979 in Darmstadt Greifswald, 23.12.2011 Dekan: Prof. Dr. Klaus Fesser 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Susanne Stoll-Kleemann 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Tim O‘Riordan Tag der Promotion: 22.05.2012 Valuing and knowing are not separate. How we know nature and how we value, or discount, nature are tightly linked. (Norgaard, 2009: 44) To my family Abstract Abstract The dissertation aims at developing means to integrate conservation and development in biosphere reserves in Madagascar. Despite a multitude of concepts such as UNESCO biosphere reserves, Integrated Conservation and Development Projects and community- based natural resource management, gaps between conservation and development remain to exist. In a qualitative case study in Mananara-Nord and Sahamalaza Biosphere Reserves in Madagascar data was collected on biosphere reserve management, local natural resource use, socio-cultural aspects and natural values local people associate with the forest. Analysis revealed that management capacities constitute a limiting factor in biosphere reserve management. Collaboration between management, local people and international organisations fosters the achievement of both conservation and development. However, collaboration only performs if a shared vision is established.

  • Repoblikan'ny Madagasikara
    IOTC-2018-WPDCS14-13 REPOBLIKAN’NY MADAGASIKARA FITIAVANA-TANINDRAZANA-FANDROSOANA ____________________________ MINISTERE DES RESSOURCES HALIEUTIQUES ET DE LA PECHE UNITE STATISTIQUE THONIERE D’ANTSIRANANA (USTA) 14TH WORKING PARTY ON DATA COLLECTION AND STATISTICS Victoria-Seychelles, 29th November to 1st December 2018 Gaillord JAONA Yacinthe RAZAFIMANDIMBY ABSTRACT In the framework to improve the fishery statistics in Madagascar, the Ministry of Fisheries, through the Unité Statistique Thonière d’Antsiranana, initiated in 2015 a monitoring system for small-scale and artisanal fisheries of pelagic fish in northern Madagascar with two pilot villages. Since 2016, Monitoring has been expanded in other villages where network of investigators have been established in the various potential fishing areas. At each catch landings, an investigator collects tuna catch data and other catches, and also performs sampling. The date of landing, the time at sea, fishing zone, the weight and total number of individuals landed are recorded; and measurements of tuna and tuna like species are conducted. According to the catch monitoring since the pilot phase in 2015, it can be seen that the tuna season in the northern waters of Madagascar is from June to October. In 2016, catches from small-scale fisheries in these two pilot villages reached 102 tons, including 59 tons of tuna and 43 tons of other catches. The tuna average catch is estimated at 5.3 tons per month. In 2017, total catches in the North of Madagascar reached 3 704 tons including 80 tons of tuna and 4 tons of swordfish from 192 692 landings. Indeed, tuna represents only 2% of total catch for these villages because small-scale and artisanal fishermen still face a challenge, which is the lack of appropriate equipment for catching tuna and tuna like species.

Several zones seem to be inundated and have experienced an increase of standing waters. These zones are mainly agricultural M a n a m b o l o and/or swamps around the town of Maroantsetra. These waters seem to be the results of the recent heavy rain related also to the cyclone ENAWO-17 Ankofa which made landfall the 07 March 2017. It is likely that 15°24'0"S flood waters have been systematically underestimated 15°24'0"S Anjanavana along highly vegetated areas along main river banks and within built-up urban areas because of the special Mahalevona characteristics of the satellite data used.

  • Initial Situation Analysis
    INITIAL SITUATION ANALYSIS Tropical cyclone MADAGASCAR [08.03.2017 – 1700CET] Prepared by OCHA CASS I. Overview Tropical Cyclone ENAWO, Category 4, Maximum sust wind speed: 231 km/h. Maximum storm surge: 1.0m. Main drivers of damage are high wind speeds in the coastal regions of the storm path and extreme precipitation further inland. Most affected areas (based on expected stormpath): Sava and Analanjirofo as well as Alaotra Mangoro, Atsinanana, Analamanga, Vakinankaratra, Bongolava, Itasy, Ihombre, Amoron'i Mania, Haute Matsiatra, Vatovavy Fitovinany (IFRC). Areas currently affected by extreme drought and high food insecurity are located at the southern tip of Madagaskar, Grand Sud Region (Fewsnet), with limited exposure to the storm’s impact. Most affected groups (based on lessons learned from previous cyclones): Rural communities in flood zones, in particular smallholder farmers (ScienceDirect). The most affected livelihoods zone include production of vanilla, clove, coconut, rice and zebu. (Fewsnet) Population exposure: 1.98m people living in areas exposed to extreme winds higher than 120km/h of which more than 270 thousand live in flood risk zones (UNOSAT 8.3). The Red Cross estimates (8.3) that about 720,000 people are likely to be directly affected. Tropical cyclone “Enawo” made landfall on March 7th at around 11:00 local time over Antalaha district, near Antalha city (Sava Region). As of 15:00 local time, wind speeds had weakened from peaks of 300km/h to 166 km/h. The cyclone is forecasted to move at slow pace south-west weakening into a tropical storm. Heavy rain and strong winds are forecast to affect northern and central Madagascar.

  • Madagascar: Cyclone Enawo Overview
    Madagascar: Cyclone Enawo Situation Report: No. 1 March 9, 2017 This report is issued by the Bureau National de Gestion des Risque et des Catastrophes (BNGRC) and the Humanitarian Country Team in Madagascar. It covers the period from 7 to 8 March 2017. Cyclone Enawo is wreaking havoc across Madagascar: towns and cities flooded; houses, schools, hospitals and critical infrastructure destroyed; and thousands of people displaced. Power outages are widespread in affected areas. More than 760,000 people in nine regions are expected to be directly affected by the strongest cyclone to strike the island nation in 13 years. Conditions are comparable to Cyclone Gafilo in 2004, which left 250,000 Malagasies displaced and 100,000 homes damaged in its wake. Another recent major tropical storm, Cyclone Ivan, affected more than half a million people and displaced nearly 200,000 in 2008. According to the national meteorological authority, threat levels remain highest (Red Alert) in the following regions: Diana, Sofia, Savan Analanjirofo, Atsinanana, Alaotra Mangoro, Boeny, Betsinoka, and Ny Faritanin’ Antananarivo. Madagascar also suffers from severe and chronic drought, particularly in the south of country. More than 850,000 people are severely food insecure. Overview Intense Tropical Cyclone Enawo struck northeastern Madagascar on the morning of March 7, travelling at two to three hundred kilometers per hour. On March 8, Enawo weakened from an “intense” to a “moderate” tropical storm, with an average speed of 80km/hour with peaks of 112km/hour. As Enawo moves further inland, the Government’s disaster management agency (BNGRC), the United Nations and NGOs are evacuating affected populations, passing on life-saving information to affected communities and responding to growing humanitarian needs.
