The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

  • Fauna & Flora Specialist Impact Assessment: Nuweveld West Wind
    FAUNA & FLORA SPECIALIST IMPACT ASSESSMENT: NUWEVELD WEST WIND ENERGY FACILITY PRODUCED FOR AURECON First Draft April 2020 Revised October 2020 [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Red Cap Energy Pty Ltd (Red Cap) is proposing to develop three wind farms on a 35,000ha site situated about ~65km north of Beaufort West along the R381 to Loxton, in the Beaufort West Local Municipality, Central Karoo District Municipality, Western Cape. Aurecon South Africa are conducting the required EIA process and 3Foxes Biodiversity Solutions has been appointed to provide a specialist terrestrial fauna and flora specialist study of the proposed three wind farms as part of the EIA applications, one of them being the Nuweveld West Wind Farm which this study deals with. The purpose of the Nuweveld West Terrestrial Biodiversity Report is to describe and detail the ecological features of the proposed site; provide an assessment of the ecological sensitivity of the affected area and identify the likely impacts that may be associated with the development of a wind farm on the site. Several site visits as well as a desktop review of the available ecological information for the area was conducted in order to identify and characterise the ecological features of the site. Overall, the Nuweveld West site is considered generally favourable for development of the wind farm. Although there are some constrained areas where development should be minimised, there are large tracts of the site that are considered medium or low sensitivity and where development would have a low impact. Although impacts on the Riverine Rabbit are a potential concern, its presence on the escarpment is unlikely and the total extent of available habitat is low.

Les genres Rhamphiophis Peters, 1854 et Dipsina Jan, 1863 (Serpentes, Colubridae) : revue des taxons reconnus et description d'une espèce nouvelle par Laurent CHIRIO et Ivan INEICH Résumé. — Quatre exemplaires du genre Rhamphiophis provenant du Niger ne peuvent être rangés dans aucune des espèces actuellement reconnues. Ils sont décrits ici comme un nouveau taxon, après examen de l'ensemble des représentants du genre conservés dans les collections du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. Une clé de détermination fondée sur des caractères externes permet d'identifier les taxons de rang spécifique et subspécifique actuellement reconnus dans le genre. Une carte de distribution est proposée pour chacun d'eux. Abstract. — Four specimens of Rhamphiophis from Niger cannot be assigned to any yet described species of this genus. After examination of all specimens of the genus in the Paris Natural History Museum collections, we describe them as a new species. An identification key based on external characters allows recognition of the different species and subspecies. A distribution map is established for each of them. L.

  • Summary of the 1984/85 Baseline Environmental
    SUMMARY OF THE 1984/85 BASELINE BIODIVERSITY SURVEY OF THE RöSSING AREA, CENTRAL NAMIB DESERT J. Irish 1. INTRODUCTION Rössing Uranium Ltd. (RUL) sponsored an environmental survey of the Rössing Mine area under the auspices of the State Museum in Windhoek (now the National Museum of Namibia), in 1984/85. An impressive amount of information was collected, but due to factors prevalent at the time, no concerted effort to collate or summarise it was ever made. In the context of the current work, the need for baseline environmental data both for the areas to be mined and those surrounding them, prompted this effort to bring together the 1980’s information in one place. Negotiations and planning for the survey commenced in mid-1983, and a visit to the area took place on 20 September 1983. The museum files include a draft project proposal dated 24 November 1983. The survey formally started on 12 March 1984. From then, site visits were made and traps serviced at four-week intervals throughout 1984. The initial plan was for the project to run for 18 months. Within the first 3 months, however, staff changes at both the Museum and RUL had delegated bilateral project responsibility to uninvolved individuals. Project participants were left without oversight, guidance, or recourse. Most continued regardless, out of scientific curiosity, but by the end of 1984 the project had mostly petered out. The invertebrate traps were active till 7 May 1985, when problems with RUL security blocking access to the two secondary sampling sites prompted termination. The reptile trap survey was stopped soon after on 13 June 1985.
