  • Impala to Matubatuba Substation: Vegetation Impact Report
    Proposed Lower uMkhomazi Pipeline Project Terrestrial Biodiversity Report Prepared for NM Environmental by GJ McDonald and L Mboyi 07 February 2018 External Review and Amendment J Maivha March 2018 Proposed Lower uMkomazi Pipeline Project Terrestrial Biodiversity Report Executive summary Khuseli Mvelo Consulting was appointed to conduct a terrestrial biodiversity impact assessment as part of the environmental assessment and authorisation process for the proposed Lower uMkhomazi Pipeline Project, within eThekwini Municipality. The proposed development is situated in an area which has either been transformed or impacted upon by commercial and small-scale agricultural activities and alien plant invasion to a greater or lesser extent. Such vegetation as is found is often of a secondary nature where cane fields have been allowed to become fallow and these disturbed and secondary habitats are substantially invaded by forbs and woody species. Near-natural vegetation is limited and may be found along water courses and certain roads. Local sensitivities - vegetation Plants protected provincially The following specially protected species will be affected by the proposed development: Aloe amiculata (Liliaceae/Asphodelaceae) found at and around 30°11'27.09"S/ 30°45'46.30"E, Freesia laxa (Iridaceae) found at WTW1, Kniphofia sp. (Liliaceae/Asphodelaceae) found at both WTW1 and WTW2. These will require a permit from Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife to be translocated. Specially protected species within the general area such as Millettia grandis, Dioscorea cotinifolia (Dioscoreaceae) and Ledebouria ovatifolia (Liliaceae/Hyacinthaceae) will require the developer to apply to the relevant competent authority for permits to move or destroy such species (as appropriate) should they be encountered during construction.

    Original language: English CoP18 Doc. 48 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ____________________ Eighteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties Colombo (Sri Lanka), 23 May-03 June 2019 Interpretation and implementation matters Regulation of trade BLACK RHINOCEROS HUNTING TROPHIES: EXPORT QUOTA FOR SOUTH AFRICA 1. This document has been submitted by South Africa.* COMMENTS OF THE SECRETARIAT A. As required by Resolution Conf. 9.21 (Rev. CoP13) on Interpretation and application of quotas for species included in Appendix I, South Africa has submitted this request for amending Resolution Conf. 13.5 (Rev. CoP14) on Establishment of export quotas for black rhinoceros hunting trophies with supporting information, including details of the scientific basis for the proposed increased quota 150 days prior to the meeting of the Conference of the Parties. B. South Africa explains the rationale for a proposed increase from an annual export quota of five hunting trophies of adult male black rhinoceros to “a total number of adult black rhinoceroses not exceeding 0.5% of the total black rhinoceros population in South Africa in the year of export (equally applied to all three subspecies, i.e. 0.5% of the total population of each of the three subspecies)”. It is noted that South Africa states that it has not utilised its full current quota of 5 male hunting trophies for the period 2005 to 2015. C. South Africa argues that this is a conservative increase that supports the adaptive management of its black rhino populations, and allows for adjustments based on population size, while maintaining a restriction that only males that meet a set of safeguard criteria qualify for hunting.
