  • Project Name
    Invertebrate Specialist Report – December 2014 Reedbeds (Phragmites mauritianus) occur in dense stands along some sections of the Revuboe River (Plates 2.5 & 2.6). It is the preferred habitat for a number of specialised species such as the Lesser Swamp Warbler (Acrocephalus gracilirostris), while also providing important roosting habitat for certain dryland species (e.g. weavers, bishops, swallows). Plate 2.6 Typical reed beds found on site Granite outcrops generally occur on the hills in the region and are characterised by large boulders and a dense woody cover in the form of Closed Zambezian Undifferentiated Woodland (refer to Plates 2.2 & 2.7). It provides important habitat for rupiculous (rock loving) species such as certain birds and reptile species. These habitats will be largely impacted on, as they are located on the hills which will become the mine pits Plate 2.7: Rocky outcrops typically occur on ridges amongst Closed Zambezian Undifferentiated Woodland Coastal & Environmental Services (Pty) Ltd 3 Tete Iron Ore Project Invertebrate Specialist Report – December 2014 Dambos occur as linear open areas of hydrophilic grasslands with rushes and sedges, which contrast with surrounding woodland, in this case the mopane woodlands (Figure 2.1 and Plate 2.8). A Dambo is essentially is a plateau wetland, which is “a seasonally waterlogged, predominantly grass-covered, depression (i.e. vlei)”. They may be substantially dry at the end of the dry season, revealing grey soils or black clays, but unlike flooded grassland, they retain wet lines of drainage through the dry season. They are inundated (waterlogged) in the wet season but not generally above the height of the vegetation and any open water surface is usually confined to streams, rivers and small ponds or lagoons at the lowest point, generally near the centre.

  • Some Endemic Butterflies of Eastern Africa and Malawi
    SOME ENDEMIC BUTTERFLIES OF EASTERN AFRICA AND MALAWI T C E Congdon, Ivan Bampton* *ABRI, P O Box 14308, Nairobi Kenya Abstract: The ‘Eastern Arc’ of Kenya and Tanzania is defined in terms of its butterfly fauna. Butterflies endemic to it and neighbouring ecological zones are listed. The ‘Tanzania-Malawi Highlands’ are identified as an ecological zone. Distributions of the endemic butterflies within the Eastern Arc and other zones are examined. Some possible causes of endemism are suggested. Conservation issues are discussed. An updated list of the endemic Butterflies of Tanzania is given. Key words and phrases: Endemism, biodiversity, conservation, ecological zones, East African Coastal Belt, Eastern Arc Mountains, Tanzania-Malawi Highlands. Introduction The Study Area includes the whole of Tanzania, with extensions to include coastal Kenya and the highlands of Malawi. Ecological zones within the study area are identified. Butterflies endemic within the study area are listed by zone, and distributions within two of the zones are examined in detail. The conservation status of important forests is discussed and the most vulnerable areas are identified. In the Appendix (I) we provide an updated checklist of Tanzania’s endemic species. Methods and Materials Ecological zones are defined. The species endemic to each zone are listed, together with their distribution within the zone and altitude range within which they are known to occur (Table 1): totals are given. In the discussion section zonal endemism is examined. Species endemic to individual mountain blocks are scheduled in Table 2 and totals are given. Conservation priorities are discussed. The number of species each block shares with each other block is tabulated (Table 3) together with the total of species so shared present on each block.

COLLINS FITCA EMMC Report Number B3 REPORT ON BUTTERFLIES FROM AFRICAN BUTTERFLY RESEARCH INSTITUTE TO FITCA August 9-16 2004 By Steve C Collins, ABRI Fieldwork: Peter Walwanda, Francis Ambuso, Brian Finch OVERVIEW: FITCA Project The regional project FITCA (Farming in Tsetse Controlled Areas) has a general objective to integrate tsetse control activities into the farming practices of rural communities such that the problem of trypanosomosis can be contained to the levels that are not harmful to both human and the livestock and environmentally gentle and integrated into the dynamics of rural development and are progressively handled by the farmers themselves. The project is hosted by the Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources of the African Union (AU-IBAR) and covers areas with small scale farming in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia. EMMC (Environmental Monitoring and Management Component) is the environmental component of FITCA. It is implemented by ILRI in collaboration with CIRAD (as member of SEMG, Scientific Environmental Monitoring Group). This regional component has been charged with the responsibility of identifying of monitoring indicators and methodologies, as well as the development of an environmental awareness among the stakeholders. It contributes to propositions of good practices and activities mitigating the impacts and rehabilitating the threatened resources likely to result directly or indirectly of tsetse control and rural development.
