  • Kammer a 2006
    University of Pretoria etd – Kammer A 2006 Department of Geography, Geoinformatics and Meteorology University of Pretoria Using Geographical Information Systems to investigate the Bushmeat Phenomenon in KwaZulu-Natal 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Definition For the purpose of this study, bushmeat can be viewed as all undomesticated animal products utilised for human consumption and use. This includes meat as well as other products such as ivory, skin, hooves and horns. The term encompasses products from terrestrial as well as aquatic species such as abalone. In the past numerous studies regarding the bushmeat phenomenon in central, western and eastern Africa have been conducted (Bailey & Groff, 2003; Summers, 2003; Barnett, 2000). Up to date, no known published studies have been concluded in the southern part of Africa. A priority exists for wildlife and nature organisations in South Africa to build an inventory on the existing situation regarding bushmeat in South and southern Africa. With the help of the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force (BCTF), based in the United States of America, an Information Management and Analysis Project (Bushmeat IMAP) is currently in its infant stages (http://www.bushmeat.org/IMAP/). The Bushmeat IMAP aims to improve information sharing and decision making related to addressing the bushmeat phenomenon by organizing published documents, unpublished reports, project descriptions, and newly gathered data from the field into a system of databases and GIS (Geographical Information System) resources, useful for prioritising conservation and development solutions. The Bushmeat IMAP survey instrument is designed to identify and assess areas across Sub- Saharan Africa with high numbers of threatened, endangered, or endemic species presently being subjected to unsustainable bushmeat hunting, in addition to identifying and assessing bushmeat markets.

  • South Africa Eastern II 18Th January to 1St February 2018 (15 Days) Trip Report
    South Africa Eastern II 18th January to 1st February 2018 (15 days) Trip Report Drakensberg Rockjumper by Daniel Keith Danckwerts Tour Leaders: Daniel Keith Danckwerts and Rynart Bezuidenhout Trip report compiled by Daniel Keith Danckwerts Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to South Africa Trip Report – RBT South Africa - Eastern II 2019 2 Tour Summary Our two-week journey around eastern South Africa began in the bustling city of Johannesburg where, following a quick meet and greet, we enjoyed some birding in the gardens of our comfortable guesthouse. The highlight here was seeing small numbers of the endearing Red-headed Finch – a striking species that all desired to see. Other species on this, our first afternoon, included the Red-eyed and Laughing Doves, Speckled Pigeon, Red-faced and Speckled Mousebirds, the near-endemic Karoo Thrush, and dazzling Southern Red Bishops with males in full breeding plumage. After a scrumptious dinner, we returned to our rooms for an early evening, seeing the nocturnal Spotted Thick-knee en route. Early the following morning, we left Johannesburg and travelled north towards the remote Zaagkuildrift Road. This gravel road traverses a large area of thornveld and savannah, and is widely recognised as one of Red-collared Widowbird by Daniel Keith Danckwerts South Africa’s top birding destinations. We weren’t disappointed! Our list grew exponentially within minutes of arriving, as we notched up migratory Lesser Grey and Red-backed Shrikes, the striking long- tailed Magpie-Shrike, Black-winged Kite, and numerous displaying yet nondescript Zitting Cisticolas. Our breakfast stop delivered several other new species for the tour, including Western Cattle Egret, Red- billed Teal, Spur-winged Goose, Blacksmith Lapwing, Southern Boubou, White-throated Robin-Chat, Jameson’s Firefinch, Brown-hooded Kingfisher, and Burchell’s Starling.

  • Rufford Small Grants Conferences Southern African Conference Proceedings Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens 16-17 April 2015
    Rufford Small Grants Conferences Southern African Conference Proceedings Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens 16-17 April 2015 Complied by: Dr Ian Little and Jiba Magwaza Introduction The 2015 Southern African Rufford Small Grants Conference was held in Cape Town from the 16th to 17th April. The conference was kindly hosted at the South African national Biodiversity Institutes Colophon Room within the conservation wing, a building which was suitably constructed through sponsorship from the Rufford Foundation. The conference delegates were comprised of members by invite only and were primarily previous grant recipients. The region comprises recipients from seven countries including Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland, Lesotho and South Africa. Eighty five recipients were invited and although some contact details were old almost all previous recipients were contacted. Of these 31 recipients were able to attend and present at the conference which hosted a total of 56 delegates including plenary speakers, guests and thirteen current conservation biology students (MSc) from the Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology. These budding conservation students enjoyed the experience of listening to and meeting a suit of experienced and active conservation practitioners and researchers from across the region. Objectives and impacts of the conference The key objectives of this event were three fold including to facilitate networking and partnership development between conservation practitioners that would otherwise likely not have met, to promote the role that The Rufford Foundation plays in supporting conservation at a local, national and international level and to provide a platform for local MSc conservation biology students to learn from experienced conservation practitioners from across the region.

  • A World Heritage Site
    A Winter Survey of the Herpetofauna of the uMkhuze section of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. July – September 2007 Jonathan K. Warner1 and Xander Combrink2 1Student Researcher, Department of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand. Email: [email protected] 2Project Manager, iSimangaliso Wetland Park Threatened Species Project, Ezemvelo KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife. Email: [email protected] 1 Introduction The iSimangaliso Wetland Park (iSWP) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in northeastern KwaZulu- Natal, South Africa. Totalling almost 300,000 ha, the Park is an area of extraordinary species richness and home to many taxa of conservation concern. The iSWP is the largest protected area in Conservation International's Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany hotspot, and is a significant component of the Maputaland Centre of Endemism, a c.17, 000 km area of unique conservation concern located between the Limpopo River and St. Lucia estuary (Smith 2001, Fig. 1). Maputaland is an area of notable integration between tropical and subtropical biota, and also harbours numerous endemics as a consequence of in situ MGR speciation on the geologically recent coastal plain (Bruton and Cooper 1980). Furthermore, well-defined climatic and geological gradients have created distinct ecological zones within the region, further contributing to high gamma diversity in this part of Africa (Smith 2006). The herpetofauna of the iSWP exemplify this diversity, with over 160 species, 16 reptiles listed in CITES appendices (Schedule 14), and many species Figure 1.

    Monitoring and protecting uMkhuze Game Reserve’s black and white rhinos The uMkhuze Game Reserve is part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park; a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is renowned for an astonishing diversity of natural habitats, from the foothills of the Ubombo Mountains along its north western boundary, to broad stretches of acacia savannah, swamps, a variety of woodlands and riverine forests as well as a rare type of sand-forest. The mix of habitat supports over 420 species of bird, including Pel’s fishing owl and the rare Rudd’s Photo 1: The uMkhuze Game Reserve is part of the apalis and many waterfowl as well as both black iSimangaliso Wetland Park; a UNESCO World and white rhinos. Heritage Site. Credit: Save the Rhino International The uMkhuze Game Reserve is home to white rhinos, as well as one of two original South-central black rhino Diceros bicornis minor populations in KwaZulu-Natal. Their protection is an absolute priority as they have played a vital role in the re-establishment of important black rhino populations in Kruger National Park and in reserves in KwaZulu-Natal where rhinos had become locally extinct. Unfortunately, these populations have not escaped the rhino poaching crisis that has spread across Africa. In the past decade, nearly 10,000 African rhinos have been lost to poaching. South Africa holds c. 80% of the world’s rhinos and has been the country hit hardest by poachers, with more than 1,000 rhinos killed each year between 2013 and 2017. Despite the recent Photo 2: South Africa is prime target for rhino poachers.
