  • A Landscape Approach to Elephant Conservation in Mozambique
    A landscape approach to elephant conservation in Mozambique by Cornélio Pedro Ntumi Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Zoology) in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria February 2012 i © University of Pretoria A landscape approach to elephant conservation in Mozambique Student: Cornélio Pedro Ntumi Supervisor: Professor Rudi J. van Aarde Conservation Ecology Research Unit Department of Zoology & Entomology University of Pretoria Pretoria 0002 rjvaardezoology.up.ac.za Co-supervisor: Dr Sam M. Ferreira Scientific Services South African National Parks Skukuza 1350 South Africa Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Zoology) ii Abstract People and elephants share landscapes throughout Mozambique. Here elephant conservation management focuses on protected areas but fails to address the conflict that exists between elephants and people. In this thesis I develop a landscape approach to conflict mitigation that is designed to accommodate the needs of people and of elephants in human-dominated landscapes. Mozambique faces a dilemma: politically it is required to reduce poverty while at the same time adhere to international agreements and requirements to protect biodiversity with relatively scarce financial resources. Reactive mitigation of human-elephant conflict (HEC) at the site-specific scale have proven to be costly and with low efficacy. A shift from reactive to proactive HEC mitigation approaches at the county-wide scale (e.g. a district level, the administrative planning body) may provide opportunities to reconcile such apparent contrasting requirements in Mozambique. The elephant population of Mozambique is fragmented and remnant sub-populations are limited to clusters of protected areas in a matrix of human-dominated landscapes.

  • 21 January 2004
    Famine Early Warning Systems Network 21 January 2004 Highlights o Rainfall has been well below normal in much of central and southern Mozambique this season, raising fears of a third consecutive drought year. o In addition, temperatures have been above normal, increasing evaporation rates and reducing soil moisture. o A district-by-district rainfall analysis shows that rainfall totals in much of central and southern region are below 50% of normal for the period. Eastern Inhambane and Gaza Provinces are the worst affected areas with shortfalls ranging from 17 to 29% of normal. In meteorological terms, less than 75% of normal rain over an extended period is considered a drought. More than half of the country meets this definition at present. The effects on agriculture depend on when crops were planted and how much longer the rains continue. o The poor rainfall has already affected agriculture in most of the southern region, where rains start earlier. The first planting has failed in much of the southern region, and households had to replant at least once. The amount of rainfall in January and February will determine whether these second and third plantings will succeed. o In the provinces of Manica, Sofala, and Tete crops are showing signs of marked stress, but because the season starts later and lasts longer in these areas, most plants could recover if substantial rainfall occurs in January and February. Some rains are forecast for mid-January in the central regions. o River and dam levels in areas south of the Save River are below both last year (a drought year) and the longer-term average.

Dhlakama broke off his tour of the north yesterday to fly to Maputo. Initially he said he would only meet Nyusi if the Mozambican President accepted all of his demands in advance, then he said he would only meet Nyusi if he came to Cabo Delgado. Now he is in Maputo, but the meeting is in a hotel and not a government building, which will be seen as a neutral venue. Thursday deadline to take parliament seats Renamo continues to boycott national and provincial parliaments. A group of Renamo members elected to the parliaments met with Renamo president Afonso Dhlakama on Sunday 1 February asking to take their seats, but Dhlakama maintained the hard line and said "anyone who takes their seats would be insulting not Dhlakama, not Renamo, but the thousands of Mozambicans who voted for fair elections”. (MediaFax, 2 Feb) He argues that the elections were fraudulent and that he won the 2014 election, just as he says he won the four previous elections. The MPs should not take seats in what he sees as fraudulent parliaments.
