BURUNDI ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES ASSESSMENT (ETOA) September 2010 This report was produced for review by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It was prepared by the USDA Forest Service International Programs. BURUNDI ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES ASSESSMENT (ETOA) Prepared by: James Beck, Geoffroy Citegetse, Jason Ko, and Skye Sieber September 2010 DISCLAIMER The author’s views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the United States Agency for International Development or the United States Government ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report would not have been possible without the support of USAID (Washington, East Africa, and Burundi Offices). Tim Resch of USAID/SD provided important background information; James Anderson and the USAID/Burundi staff (Donatien Ntakarutimana, Alice Nibitanga, Audace Mpoziriniga, and Seconde Nizigiyimana) were of great assistance, facilitating our introduction to the country, USAID programs, and relevant partners. The representatives of the Government of Burundi (most notably the staff of the Ministry of Water, Environment, Land Management and Urban Planning or MEEATU) were the most gracious hosts, providing us with important documents, crucial background, and invaluable personal knowledge of the land and resources they are entrusted to manage. From the Directors General (DG) to the field technicians, we were welcomed with open arms and an interest and passion for sustainable natural resource management that was unmistakable. Of particular note were Director (Dir) Aloys Rurantije of the Geographic Institute of Burundi; DG Adelin Ntungumburanye, Leonidas Nzigiyimpa, Evariste Mbonimpa, and Jonathan Hatungimana of the National Institute for the Environment and Nature Conservation; DG Damien Macumi of Amenagement Territoire, DG Antoinette Macumi and Dir. Bernadette Hakizimana of MEEATU; Dir. Déo Ngendahayo of the National Tourism Office; Dir. Sylvestre Ndonse of the Department of Forests; Dir. Fidel Bashingwa of the Department of Fish and Pisciculture; and Dir. Damien Mbonicura of the Department of Mines. The local and international non-governmental organization and donor community was also of significant assistance. We met with partners from all sectors around the country. They shared their experiences, showed us their accomplishments and challenges, and provided important references documents. We greatly thank all the individuals and organizations listed in Annex 5 for their time and support of our research. We hope that this document will be of use for their programs and projects for the betterment of Burundi. Geoffroy Citegetse, the Environmental Threats and Opportunities Assessment team Burundian Environmental Specialist, in addition to writing significant sections of the document and following up on research, was our guide and mentor to all things Burundian. He seamlessly set up high level and rural meetings for the team, handled logistical organization, patiently explained any and all issues in a manner that we could understand, and made sure we tried the best Burundian cuisine. He proved himself an environmental expert beyond the details of his CV. Special thanks to our driver, Charles Kantore, who made sure that, in our whirlwind tour of 14 provinces and four dozen meetings, we made it back home safely. Lastly, we would like to thank the team at IRG who took our crude report and made it into a professional product.

Based on morphological taxonomic key characters 48 diaptomid species belonging to 13 genera were reported from India. Taxonomic discrimination of many species of these genera is difficult due to their high morphological similarities and minute differences in key characters. In the present study two species of the genus, Neodiaptomus, N. meggiti and N. schmackeri from Andaman Islands were examined based on morphological and molecular characters which showed low variation in morphology and differences in their distributions. The morphological taxonomy of Copepoda with genetic analysis has shown complementing values in understanding the genetic variation and phylogeny of the contemporary populations. In this study, a molecular phylogenetic analysis of N. meggiti and N. schmackeri is performed on the basis of mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. The mtDNA COI sequence of N. meggiti and N.

    Ctenodiaptomus) Praedictus Sulawensis Alekseev & Vaillant, 2013 (Hexanauplia, Copepoda, Calanoida, Diaptomidae) in the Philippines (Luzon Island

    PRIMARY RESEARCH PAPER | Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology New record of Phyllodiaptomus (Ctenodiaptomus) praedictus sulawensis Alekseev & Vaillant, 2013 (Hexanauplia, Copepoda, Calanoida, Diaptomidae) in the Philippines (Luzon Island) Shea Kathleen P. Guinto1, Justine Val Jade B. Lacaba2, John Kenneth V. Cuballes2, Aezrile A. Igancio2, Eric Zeus C. Rizo3, Henri J. Dumont3,4, Bo-Ping Han3 & Rey Donne S. Papa1,2,5* ABSTRACT A study originally intended to update the taxonomy and distribution of calanoid copepods in selected freshwater ecosystems of Central Luzon has led to the discovery of a new record of Phyllodiaptomus Kiefer, 1936 in Candaba Swamp, Pampanga. Since 1979, the only calanoid copepods recorded from this area included Filipinodiaptomus insulanus (Wright S., 1928) and Tropodiaptomus australis Kiefer, 1936. Later studies on calanoid copepods in the region have since been non-existent. Analyses of pertinent key morphological characters revealed that the specimens at hand belonged to Phyllodiaptomus (Ctenodiaptomus) praedictus sulawensis Alekseev & Vaillant, 2013, a freshwater diaptomid calanoid copepod subspecies discovered and known to be endemic only in Indonesia. Provided in this paper are baseline information on the morphological characters of the Philippine members of the subspecies accompanied by line drawings as well as a comparison between the recorded morphological data presented by Alekseev, Haffner, Vaillant & Yusoff (2013) and the current dataset to support the identification of the specimen. The discovery of P. (C.) praedictus sulawensis in the Philippines, which was thought to be endemic in Indonesia, presents a new record of this species in the country and the first such record outside of its country of origin. KEYWORDS: Candaba Swamp, Copepod, Indonesia, Inland Waters, Limnology, Thailand INTRODUCTION eastern, and eastern Asia with majority found in Thailand and India.

    Lake Profile Brief This Is Based on the Results of Multiple Lake Threat Assessment and Its Scenario Analysis

    Lake Profile Brief This is based on the results of Multiple Lake Threat Assessment and its Scenario Analysis. Refer to the Technical Report for details. Lake Rweru/Moereo Geographic Information Lake Rweru is located in central Africa, close to the northernmost point of Burundi, with its northern shore forming part of the Burundi‐Rwanda border. The lake is surrounded by marshes and papyrus, and contains floating islands. It is considered by many to be the most distant starting point of the Nile River, in that the Kagera River, which rises at the northern part of the lake, is considered to be the starting point of the Nile. The lake hosts limited fishing activities, and is being increasingly invaded by water hyacinth. Lake Rweru could be a subject for GEF‐catalyzed management interventions, along with Lakes Cohoha and Ihema, with all three lakes located in the same general proximity in the upper catchment wetland region of the riparian countries, and sharing similar economic (fishery management) and environmental (progressing eutrophicatio) challenges. Effectively considering these lakes for such management interventions may require a new strategic approach that considers them as a lake cluster comprising both transboundary and national (non‐transboundary) lake basins.
