  • Chapter 15 the Mammals of Angola
    Chapter 15 The Mammals of Angola Pedro Beja, Pedro Vaz Pinto, Luís Veríssimo, Elena Bersacola, Ezequiel Fabiano, Jorge M. Palmeirim, Ara Monadjem, Pedro Monterroso, Magdalena S. Svensson, and Peter John Taylor Abstract Scientific investigations on the mammals of Angola started over 150 years ago, but information remains scarce and scattered, with only one recent published account. Here we provide a synthesis of the mammals of Angola based on a thorough survey of primary and grey literature, as well as recent unpublished records. We present a short history of mammal research, and provide brief information on each species known to occur in the country. Particular attention is given to endemic and near endemic species. We also provide a zoogeographic outline and information on the conservation of Angolan mammals. We found confirmed records for 291 native species, most of which from the orders Rodentia (85), Chiroptera (73), Carnivora (39), and Cetartiodactyla (33). There is a large number of endemic and near endemic species, most of which are rodents or bats. The large diversity of species is favoured by the wide P.

Even so, the medium and large mammal fauna remains poorly known and to date no systematic mammal surveys have been published from any of Mozambique’s mountains. We present results of a medium and large mammal survey of Serra Jeci’s Mt Chitagal, Mt Sanga and the Njesi Plateau in Niassa, northern Mozambique; the first mammal diversity data collected from these isolated mountains. We recorded 27 mammal species, of which six represent range expansions; Sykes’s monkey (Cercophitecus mitis), Mozambique dwarf galago (Paragalago granti), Smith’s red rock hare (Pronolagus rupestris), lesser cane rat (Thryonomys gregorianus), rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) and African buffalo (Syncerus caffer). We also reviewed and collated records of medium and large mammals from previously published fieldwork on northern Mozambique’s mountains, amounting to a total of 34 large mammal species from seven montane areas, highlighting the lack of mammalian knowledge in Mozambique’s Afromontane habitats.

Acknowledgements: 30 VII. What we missed: 30-31 VIII. Mammal species list: 32-37 IX. Selected photographs: 38-44 I. Introduction Seeing my first African Wild Dogs in Laikipia, Kenya, in 2013 was one of those defining moments that turned me into a mammal watcher. Ever since, I’ve wanted to revisit Kenya to specifically target its huge array of unique, endemic, and more obscure mammals. It has always been a bit surprising to me why Kenya is ignored by mammal watchers compared to, for example, South Africa. Kenya has 400 mammal species (vs. South Africa’s 300) with a large number of endemics and East African specialties. Moreover, the country is a real melting pot of species from Central, North, and South Africa – nowhere else can you see Giant Forest Hog, Striped Hyena, and Sable on the same trip. There are lots of community areas and private conservancies where mammal watchers can do as they please and most interesting sites are packed into the southern 40% of the country, where roads are good and tourist infrastructure and accommodations are widespread and high quality. Despite all of these favorable qualities, most Kenyan reports are still standard safaris rather than hardcore mammal watching. With 3 free weeks to do a substantial trip in summer 2021 and their (thus far) acceptable handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kenya was the obvious choice after a few other plans fell through.

Many Social Suffering and Healing Among Rwandan people who reside both in Finland and Belgium after surviving the genocide and its after- the Rwandan Diaspora in Finland and math, still suffer from the social and psychological wounds that the ethnic violence and the geno- Belgium cide have left them with. The thesis investigates the social suffering expe- rienced by the survivors of the Rwandan genoci- de against Tutsi and its aftermath. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies was applied. The study may hopefully serve as a tool for improving relations and communication among the communities during social interac- tions, not only in Finland and Belgium, but also elsewhere. For Rwandans in Finland and Belgium, this study could hopefully work as a bridge- builder between the ethnic groups. In addition, the thesis provides the authorities of the mig- rant-receiving countries with information about how they could better support the traumatised migrants. 9 789521 237850 ISBN 978-952-12-3785-0 Jean d’Amour Banyanga Born 1973 in Mabanza, Rwanda Master of Arts in Practical Theology. at North West University Potchefstroom campus (South Africa) in 2009 Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in Theology at North West University Potchefstroom campus (South Africa) in 2006 Diploma in Education at Groupe Scolaire Rubengera, Rwanda in 1996 Jean d’Amour Banyanga is currently working as project assistant of youth research in social sciences within the faculty of Education and Welfare Studies at Åbo Akademi University in Vasa, Finland.
