  • A Fire Baseline for Tanzania
    Sustainable Forest Management in a Changing Climate FAO‐Finland Forestry Programme – TANZANIA A Fire Baseline for Tanzania Dar es Salaam 2013 Executive Summary In Tanzania wild fires are reported to be increasing at an alarming rate. The problem of wildfires in Tanzania is complex and should not be addressed on a sectoral level as it concerns all the aspects related to forest and land management, prevention, suppression, and post‐fire management. It is a problem of general policy, land policy and forest policy and legislation, as much as it is a problem of equipment and capacity building within any one sector. Despite the magnitude of threat suggested, hard data on the number and extent of wildfires are lacking, most statements on the wildfire issue are based on story and opinions (Madoffe et al., 2005). Wildfires are considered to be a ‘problem’. However, the data and information to describe the extent, nature, impacts and source of wildfires have not been compiled and analyzed; this is a Fire Baseline, which is the subject of the work reported here. The main objective of this study was to elaborate “Tanzanian wildfire baseline information”, as the starting point for a Fire Information System. The step taken in compiling this fire baseline for Tanzania is a sound strategic one and should be something that is repeated in most countries that are working to understand and account for fires in their landscapes. In the preparation of the Fire Baseline there have been a series of aspects that have been indentified, which can provide a set of ongoing analyses to further refine and contribute to enhancing the insights and understanding of fire in Tanzania.

  • Hybridization Between the Megasubspecies Cailliautii and Permista of the Green-Backed Woodpecker, Campethera Cailliautii
    Le Gerfaut 77: 187–204 (1987) HYBRIDIZATION BETWEEN THE MEGASUBSPECIES CAILLIAUTII AND PERMISTA OF THE GREEN-BACKED WOODPECKER, CAMPETHERA CAILLIAUTII Alexandre Prigogine The two woodpeckers, Campethera cailliautii (with races nyansae, “fuel­ leborni”, loveridgei) and C. permista (with races togoensis, kaffensis) were long regarded as distinct species (Sclater, 1924; Chapin 1939). They are quite dissimi­ lar: permista has a plain green mantle and barred underparts, while cailliautii is characterized by clear spots on the upper side and black spots on the underpart. The possibility that they would be conspecific was however considered by van Someren in 1944. Later, van Someren and van Someren (1949) found that speci­ mens of C. permista collected in the Bwamba Forest tended strongly toward C. cailliautii nyansae and suggested again that permista and cailliautii may be con­ specific. Chapin (1952) formally treated permista as a subspecies of C. cailliautii, noting two intermediates from the region of Kasongo and Katombe, Zaire, and referring to a correspondence of Schouteden who confirmed the presence of other intermediates from Kasai in the collection of the MRAC (see Annex 2). Hall (1960) reported two intermediates from the Luau River and from near Vila Luso, Angola. Traylor (1963) noted intermediates from eastern Lunda. Pinto (1983) mentioned seven intermediates from Dundo, Mwaoka, Lake Carumbo and Cafunfo (Luango). Thus the contact zone between permista and nyansae extends from the region north-west of Lake Tanganyika to Angola, crossing Kasai, in Zaire. A second, shorter, contact zone may exist near the eastern border of Zaire, not far from the Equator. The map published by Short and Tarbaton (in Snow 1978) shows cailliautii from the Semliki Valley, on the Equator but I know of no speci­ mens of this woodpecker from this region.

  • Three Species of Exotic Passerine in Venezuela
    COTINGA 7 Three species of exotic passerine in Venezuela Chris Sharpe, David Ascanio and Robin Restall Se presentan registros de tres especies exóticas de Passeriformes, sin previos registros en Ven­ ezuela. Lonchura malacca fue encontrado en junio de 1996 en Guacara, cerca de Valencia: hay evidencia anecdótica que sugiere que la especie ha colonizado algunas áreas de los Llanos. Lonchura oryzivora, una popular ave de jaula, parece estar bien establecida en áreas al oeste y norte del país, p.e. en Caricuao y Maracay. Passer domesticus fue encontrado en el puerto La Guaira en agosto-septiembre de 1996, donde parece estar nidificando. Se está tramitando una licencia para exterminar la especie en Venezuela. Introduction lation in the Caricuao area appears to have been Three new species of exotic passerine have appar­ established for a number of years, as do others near ently become established in northern Venezuela, Maracay (M.

The species is native to Java and Bali in South- East Asia, with introduced populations in many parts of the world including Florida, USA, and Puerto Rico. It is apparently only able to maintain stable populations where rice is plentiful1, such as the Acarigua–Barinas area, although the true na­ ture of its ecological requirements in Venezuela is unknown.

  • South Africa: Magoebaskloof and Kruger National Park Custom Tour Trip Report
    SOUTH AFRICA: MAGOEBASKLOOF AND KRUGER NATIONAL PARK CUSTOM TOUR TRIP REPORT 24 February – 2 March 2019 By Jason Boyce This Verreaux’s Eagle-Owl showed nicely one late afternoon, puffing up his throat and neck when calling www.birdingecotours.com info@birdingecotours.com 2 | TRIP REPORT South Africa: Magoebaskloof and Kruger National Park February 2019 Overview It’s common knowledge that South Africa has very much to offer as a birding destination, and the memory of this trip echoes those sentiments. With an itinerary set in one of South Africa’s premier birding provinces, the Limpopo Province, we were getting ready for a birding extravaganza. The forests of Magoebaskloof would be our first stop, spending a day and a half in the area and targeting forest special after forest special as well as tricky range-restricted species such as Short-clawed Lark and Gurney’s Sugarbird. Afterwards we would descend the eastern escarpment and head into Kruger National Park, where we would make our way to the northern sections. These included Punda Maria, Pafuri, and the Makuleke Concession – a mouthwatering birding itinerary that was sure to deliver. A pair of Woodland Kingfishers in the fever tree forest along the Limpopo River Detailed Report Day 1, 24th February 2019 – Transfer to Magoebaskloof We set out from Johannesburg after breakfast on a clear Sunday morning. The drive to Polokwane took us just over three hours. A number of birds along the way started our trip list; these included Hadada Ibis, Yellow-billed Kite, Southern Black Flycatcher, Village Weaver, and a few brilliant European Bee-eaters.

Maintenance and updating is done at NBS • Linkages with the private sector and non government research institutions for training and capacity building. • Currently has over 500 indicators from recognized sources • TSED is currently running on stand-alone and on web (www.tsed.org). Tanzania one of the two countries piloting the web version. Based on DevInfo technology. 3 Why a common database? Data not easily accessible: - disperse in various institutions - restricted use within Ministries and Institutions - format not easy to access, read and process - no proper documentation (definitions/metadata) 4 Objectives Make data more accessible – managing the growing amount of information and enhancing availability and timely dissemination of socio-economic data in order to support policy analysis and decision making – Provide users with a comprehensive set of indicators that help Govt., donors and other interested people to analyze the situation in Tanzania Enhance statistical capacity and literacy – improve knowledge relevant to policy design /evaluation.
