Acquisition Eia for Somawhe Estates SOMAWHE ESTATES MPONGWE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT REPORT [ACQUISITION ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] PREAPARED FOR Chobe Agrivision Company Limited | Villa 15, Millenium Village | Birdcage Walk | Longacres Walk | Lusaka | Zambia [2012] Prepared By: Envsol Consult, Box FW238, Lusaka Zambia. Tel: +260 966 780 120. Email: [email protected]. 1 Executive Summary General Agriculture contributes significantly to social and economic development of the country. Statistics show that 80 percent of the population is dependent on agriculture with about 70 percent of the country’s labour force being employed in the sector. However, agricultural production in Zambia is vulnerable to seasonal rainfall variability. Drought occurrences over the past decades have continued to affect agricultural productivity resulting into food insecurity thereby threatening 80 percent of the population. Somawhe, a farm operation with an established irrigation scheme, is located in Nampamba area within the Mpongwe development zone of Mpongwe District in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. Somawhe intends to expand its investment in irrigated agriculture. Exploiting this potential will enable Somawhe to contribute to increased overall national production levels of cash crops such as wheat, maize, and soya beans which are far short of meeting demand at national and regional level. Somawhe’s geographical location in the northern part of Zambia gives it a competitive edge given that this part of the country is near to the equatorial region and less vulnerable to rain variability compared to the southern part. In order to ensure that operations at Somawhe are done in a manner that is environmentally sustainable, an environmental impact assessment study was commissioned. The aim of the study was in broad terms to identify social economic and environmental impacts (positive and negative), extent and significance of these impacts and propose measures to either mitigate or enhance the impacts. In carrying out the study special focus was given to the current operations at Somawhe and identified future developments. Limiting factors to the study included field surveys being done during the period following the rain season covering flora and fauna species encountered excluding the rain season. Page 2 of 227 Impacts and Mitigation/Enhancement Measures None of the negative environmental or social impacts identified relating to operations at Somawhe can be considered critical, irreversible or unprecedented. In general, the overall environmental and social risks were to be manageable and of low significance. The following are the main impacts identified; economic boost at local level, national and international level, Significant economic multiplier effects at the national level, Positive impact on national food security from crop production, Enhanced national fiscal benefits, Employment creation, skills transfer and human resource capacity development, improved household incomes and food security impacts, Improved housing, water supplies and sanitation facilities for employees. To enhance these positive impacts measures proposed included; increasing crop production levels by increasing the land under irrigation invest more in its farm equipment and support infrastructure such as irrigation develop a long term strategic plan for the expansion of its current irrigation scheme develop a human resources development plan and systems to ensure human resources development engaging in social enterprising by developing social economic programmes Negative environmental impacts observed included; soil loss due to inappropriate land use by communities in surrounding areas, Inappropriate disposal of agricultural chemicals and containers Loss of habitat and disturbance to ecosystems due to land clearing The proposed mitigation measures included; Page 3 of 227 embarking on community programmes to educate and raise awareness of communities in surrounding areas to use appropriate methods of farming construct properly designed incineration facilities to avoid air pollution. Preserve vegetation by leaving strips of land within Somawhe that will offer habitat to fauna and act as a reserve to biodiversity in the area. No significant impacts were observed relating to migration and temporary employment effects, unsociable behavior from increased disposable income, casualisation of labour, population density-related disease impacts and occupational health and safety. Outcome It is the opinion of the study team that social economic and environmental impacts resulting from operations at Somawhe can effectively be managed and reduced to acceptable levels as long as proposed mitigation measures are applied. Consequently, the benefits arising from operations of Somawhe as a developmental project outweigh the environmental costs.

Experts of Japan International Cooperation Agency working as Game (Wildlife) Research Officers at Kasoje Chimpanzee Research Station (Mahale Mountains Wildlife Research Centre) have concentrated their collecting activities Inainly to the Mahale Mountains. The collection of plants with notes of kitongwe name not only has facilitated the ecological studies on wild chimpanzees (and other wild animals), but also will be of use in analyzing the traditional system of classification of plants among Batongwe, as well as in re­ cording for ever a rapidly-vanishing culture. This is a revised version, though still only preliminary one, of the manuscript entitled "Sitongwe-Latin Dictionary of Plants" edited by T. Nishida on 4 April, 1975. COLLECTION The researchers who have contributed to this work in the collection of the plants are listed below, with the reference number in the East African Herbarium'(Kenya Herbarium), the number of total specimens collected, and the specimen number in each collection. All the plants with known kitongwe nalne collected within the Tongwe (and Bende) territory are listed in this edition. Local emphasis is put on the Mahale Mountains and especially on Kasoje area.

  • The Case of Honey in Zambia the Case
    Small-scale with outstanding economic potential enterprises woodland-based In some countries, honey and beeswax are so important the term ‘beekeeping’ appears in the titles of some government ministries. The significance of honey and beeswax in local livelihoods is nowhere more apparent than in the Miombo woodlands of southern Africa. Bee-keeping is a vital source of income for many poor and remote rural producers throughout the Miombo, often because it is highly suited to small scale farming. This detailed Non-Timber Forest Product study from Zambia examines beekeeping’s livelihood role from a range of perspectives, including market factors, production methods and measures for harnessing beekeeping to help reduce poverty.

We established permanent plots to characterize plant diversity, above-ground biomass, and vegetation Flora patterns in a tropical dry forest in Kimbi-Fungom National Park, Cameroon. Our results contribute to long-term Environmental assessment monitoring, predictions, and management of dry forest ecosystems, which are often vulnerable to anthropogenic Environmental health pressures. Environmental impact assessment Dry forest Background and objectives: Considerable consensus exists regarding the importance of dry forests in species di- Bamenda highlands versity and carbon storage; however, the relationship between dry forest tree species composition, species rich- Kimbi-Fungom National Park ness, and carbon stock is not well established. Also, simple baseline data on plant diversity are scarce for many dry Carbon forest ecosystems. This study seeks to characterize floristic diversity, vegetation patterns, and tree diversity in Semi-deciduous permanent plots in a tropical dry forest in Northwestern Cameroon (Kimbi-Fungom National Park) for the first Tree composition time.

Sixty-five traditional therapists were randomly selected to be part of the study. Questions were posed using semi-structured interviews, which solicited information on species used, plant organs used, as well as methods of preparation and routes of administration of decoctions. Results indicate that 69 species distributed over 27 families are used to treat malaria. The most represented families are Fabaceae (24.63%), Combretaceae (13.04%), Rubiaceae (7.24%) and Meliaceae (5.79%).
