  • Central African Republic Giraffe Conservation Status Report February 2020
    Country Profile Central African Republic Giraffe Conservation Status Report February 2020 General statistics Size of country: 622,984 km² Size of protected areas / percentage protected area coverage: 13% Species and subspecies In 2016 the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) completed the first detailed assessment of the conservation status of giraffe, revealing that their numbers are in peril. This was further emphasised when the majority of the IUCN recognised subspecies where assessed in 2018 – some as Critically Endangered. While this update further confirms the real threat to one of Africa’s most charismatic megafauna, it also highlights a rather confusing aspect of giraffe conservation: how many species/subspecies of giraffe are there? The IUCN currently recognises one species (Giraffa camelopardalis) and nine subspecies of giraffe (Muller et al. 2016) historically based on outdated assessments of their morphological features and geographic ranges. The subspecies are thus divided: Angolan giraffe (G. c. angolensis), Kordofan giraffe (G. c. antiquorum), Masai giraffe (G. c. tippleskirchi), Nubian giraffe (G. c. camelopardalis), reticulated giraffe (G. c. reticulata), Rothschild’s giraffe (G. c. rothschildi), South African giraffe (G. c. giraffa), Thornicroft’s giraffe (G. c. thornicrofti) and West African giraffe (G. c. peralta). However, over the past decade GCF together with their partner Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (BiK-F) have performed the first-ever comprehensive DNA sampling and analysis (genomic, nuclear and mitochondrial) from all major natural populations of giraffe throughout their range in Africa. As a result, an update to the traditional taxonomy now exists. This study revealed that there are four distinct species of giraffe and likely five subspecies (Fennessy et al.

  • The Reintroduction of Eurasian Griffon Monachus Vultures to France
    Chancellor, R. D. & B.-U. Meyburg eds. 2004 Raptors Worldwide WWGBP/MME A Success Story: The Reintroduction of Eurasian Griffon Gyps fulvus and Black Aegypius monachus Vultures to France Michel Terrasse, François Sarrazin, Jean-Pierre Choisy, Céline Clémente, Sylvain Henriquet, Philippe Lécuyer, Jean Louis Pinna, and Christian Tessier ABSTRACT By the end of the 1960s, the future of vultures in France appeared bleak. Apart from the western half of the Pyrenees, with residual populations of Eurasian Griffon Gyps fulvus and Bearded Vultures Gypaetus barbatus, and Corsica with a few Bearded Vultures, most of France had lost its large vultures including the Black Vulture Aegypius monachus. Within the scope of a national conservation campaign, a process to restore raptor communities began. Concerning vultures, this was completed through reintroduction programmes. After the success of the Griffon Vulture reintroduction, started in 1968 in the Grands Causses of the Massif Central, other programmes followed in the 90s: Black Vultures in the Massif Central and then Griffon Vultures in the Southern Alps. In 2003 a viable population of Griffon Vultures in the Massif Central contained around 110 pairs. The same situation occurred in the Alps with about 50 breeding pairs of Griffon Vultures. Ten years after the beginning of the Black Vulture releases, the free ranging population included 11 breeding pairs. Accurate monitoring during the reintroduction period allowed us to estimate demographic parameters such as survival and breeding rates, evolution of breeding and foraging territories, main threats, movements between reintroduced populations and those from neighbouring countries, acceptance by people and the beneficial part played by vultures in what is called sustainable development.

    LA SAVANE DES POROD Environnement et genre de vie d'un clan dacpa (Centrafrique) Michel BENOIT Département MAA ORSTOM UR Dynamique des Systèmes 1989 de production LASAVANEDESPOROU 3 Un jour de décembre 1987 en Afrique Centrale. Nord de la cuvette du Congo, 6° parallèle. Longitude : 20 degrés Est. La Bamba est une rivière tranquille. Son cours ourlé d'une étroite forêt arrose d'immenses savanes et offre ses eaux claires aux éléphants comme aux premiers matins du monde. La savane des Porou s'étend de part et d'autre de cet affluent de l'Oubangui, à une trentaine de kilomètres au nord d'un ancien poste que les Blancs baptisèrent Grimari après y avoir créé une ville au coeur de l'actuel Centrafrique. Région de collines douces, plantureuse et arrosée (1500 mm de pluies par an répartis sur 120 jours), herbeuse, boisée, giboyeuse et sans hiver, la Haute Bamba abritait le clan des Porou au début de ce siècle lorsqu'ils entrèrent en contact avec l'Adjoint des Affaires Indigènes Lalande qui prenait le contrôle du pays au nom de la France. Les Porou venaient de la Haute Ouaka. Ils avançaient farouches au gré de leurs habitudes et de la guerre. Pour l'étranger -piroguier de l'Oubangui ou marchand du Darfour- les Porou sont des "Bandas". Le mot signifie "filet" et les Porou et leurs voisins chassent effectivement avec ça mais le terme ne vaut guère mieux que son sens littéral. Du massif des Bongo à l'Ombella, en passant par le Bamingui et le Chinko, les hommes se présentent en désignant leur peuple et leur clan.

  • Interpretation of the Regional Significance of the Chain Lakes Massif, Maine Based Upon Preliminary Isotopic Studies
    Maine Geological Survey Studies in Maine Geology: Volume 4 1989 Interpretation of the Regional Significance of the Chain Lakes Massif, Maine based upon Preliminary Isotopic Studies Michael M. Cheatham* William J. Olszewski Henri E. Gaudette Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space Science and Engineering Research Building University of New Hampshire Durham, New Hampshire 03824 *Present address: Department ofGeological Sciences Snee Hall Cornell University Ithaca, New York 14853 ABSTRACT The Chain Lakes massif of northwestern Maine and adjacent Quebec contrasts sharply in lithology, metamor­ phism, deformation, and age with surrounding rocks, and has been considered a suspect terrane in the northern Appalachians. The massif is composed of aquagene metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks, massive granofels and poorly stratified gneisses containing clasts of volcanic, plutonic, and sedimentary rocks which show evidence of previous deformation and metamorphism. Rocks of the Chain Lakes massif have been metamorphosed to upper amphibolite-granulite fades, although a later retrograde event (epidote-pumpellyite fades) is also recognized. Mild thermal effects and cataclasis resulted from overthrusting of the Boil Mountain ophiolite in the southern portion of the massif. The massif has generally been assigned a Precambrian age. Although previous age work on the massif is ambiguous, stratigraphic constraints and isotopic results from surrounding rocks constrain the age of the massif only to the pre-Late Ordovician. A total of 40 whole rock samples have been petrographically examined, 27 of which were analyzed by Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotopic techniques in order to determine the number, grades, and ages of the various metamorphic events affecting the massif, the age of the protolith material, and to constrain the age of deposition of the material in the massif.

Des conflits opposant deux groupes armés rivaux ont occasionné une dizaine de mort et de blessés. Ces ménages déplacés se sont localisés pour la plupart dans des familles d’accueil vivant dans une situation de précarité. Cette situation réduit considérablement la capacité des familles d’accueil à subvenir à leurs besoins avec la charge qui vient de s’ajouter. Ajoutons à cela que ces ménages d’accueil sont de traditions agriculteurs et ont un accès limité aux champs à cause de la transhumance et de l’insécurité grandissantes dans la localité. Dans ce contexte, une équipe de RRM de SI s’est rendu dans la zone pour réaliser une MSA pour avoir le niveau de vulnérabilité dans les autres secteurs comme Santé, Education, sécurité alimentaire, EHA afin de partager le rapport aux acteurs humanitaires pour couvrir les autres besoins restants.
