  • Identifying Priority Areas for the Conservation of Antelopes in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa, Using the Complementarity Approach
    Identifying priority areas for the conservation of antelopes in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa, using the complementarity approach D AVID B RUGIÈRE Abstract The Republic of Guinea has one of the highest harbours c. 50% of the total species of African antelope diversities of mammal species in West Africa. However, its (East, 1999) and, because of a high level of habitat degra- protected area network is poorly developed and little dation, habitat conversion to land crops, encroachment by quantitative information has been available to help guide livestock and hunting pressure, antelope populations are national conservation strategies. I therefore examined the more threatened in this region than elsewhere in Africa distribution of antelopes and related species (families (East, 1990, 1999). Thirteen of the 15 West African countries Bovidae and Tragulidae) across 17 sites, including four have lost at least one (and up to four) antelope species protected areas, to determine how the existing protected within the last 50 years (East, 1990). Conservation of area network contributes to the conservation of antelope antelope populations in West Africa is therefore a species and where action should best be focused for the continental priority (East, 1999). The Republic of Guinea conservation of this group. A total of 21 species of antelope (hereafter Guinea) is one of the largest West African have been recorded in the 17 sites; four of these species are countries but its mammalian fauna is one of the least known absent from the four protected areas.

Abstract The forest ecosystem of Liberia is part from the Upper Guinea Eco-region, and harbors an exceptional biodiversity in a rich mosaic of habitats serving as refuge for numerous endemic species. Unfortunately, many of these forests have been lost rapidly over the past decades, and the remaining are under various forms of anthropogenic pressure, subsistence farming, and large-scale industrial agriculture and mining. As part of a broader survey to generate information for conservation management strategies in the Gross Concession Area in preparation for its oil palm and rubber plantations in western Liberia, Sime Darby (Liberia) Inc., commissioned surveys on large mammals species in 2011. Through a combination of hunter interviews and foot surveys, we documented evidence of 46 and 32, respectively, of large mammals in the area. Fourteen of the confirmed species are fully protected at national level and three are partially protected. At the international level, 15 species are of conservation concern, including Zebra and Jentink’s duiker, Diana monkey, Sooty mangabey, Olive colobus, Elephant and Leopard.

In these ten years, cytogenetics, particularly human and mammalian cytogenetics, has had some remarkahle advances which nearly caused the classic karyotyping method to hecome obsolete overnight. These advances included the various handing tech­ niques, correlation hetween gene activities and chromosomes in somatic cell hyhrids, localization of special classes of DNA in chromosome regions hy means of in situ hyhridization, and others. In mammalian cytogenetics and cytotaxonomy, many new facts have also heen uncovered.
