NFMA Working Paper No 41/P– Rome, Luanda 2009 Monitorização e Avaliação de Recursos Florestais Nacionais As florestas são essenciais para o bem-estar da humanidade. Constitui as fundações para a vida sobre a terra através de funções ecológicas, a regulação do clima e recursos hídricos e servem como habitat para plantas e animais. As florestas também fornecem uma vasta gama de bens essenciais, tais como madeira, comida, forragem, medicamentos e também, oportunidades para lazer, renovação espiritual e outros serviços. Hoje em dia, as florestas sofrem pressões devido ao aumento de procura de produtos e serviços com base na terra, o que resulta frequentemente na degradação ou transformação da floresta em formas insustentáveis de utilização da terra. Quando as florestas são perdidas ou severamente degradadas. A sua capacidade de funcionar como reguladores do ambiente também se perde. O resultado é o aumento de perigo de inundações e erosão, a redução na fertilidade do solo e o desaparecimento de plantas e animais. Como resultado, o fornecimento sustentável de bens e serviços das florestas é posto em perigo. Como resposta do aumento de procura de informações fiáveis sobre os recursos de florestas e árvores tanto ao nível nacional como Internacional l, a FAO iniciou uma actividade para dar apoio à monitorização e avaliação de recursos florestais nationais (MANF). O apoio à MANF inclui uma abordagem harmonizada da MANF, a gestão de informação, sistemas de notificação de dados e o apoio à análise do impacto das políticas no processo nacional de tomada de decisão.

    Chapter 15 The Mammals of Angola Pedro Beja, Pedro Vaz Pinto, Luís Veríssimo, Elena Bersacola, Ezequiel Fabiano, Jorge M. Palmeirim, Ara Monadjem, Pedro Monterroso, Magdalena S. Svensson, and Peter John Taylor Abstract Scientific investigations on the mammals of Angola started over 150 years ago, but information remains scarce and scattered, with only one recent published account. Here we provide a synthesis of the mammals of Angola based on a thorough survey of primary and grey literature, as well as recent unpublished records. We present a short history of mammal research, and provide brief information on each species known to occur in the country. Particular attention is given to endemic and near endemic species. We also provide a zoogeographic outline and information on the conservation of Angolan mammals. We found confirmed records for 291 native species, most of which from the orders Rodentia (85), Chiroptera (73), Carnivora (39), and Cetartiodactyla (33). There is a large number of endemic and near endemic species, most of which are rodents or bats. The large diversity of species is favoured by the wide P.

    50 PORTUGAL AND SOUTH AFRICA: CLOSE ALLIES OR UNWILLING PARTNERS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA DURING THE COLD WAR? ____________________________________________________________________ Paulo Correia, Department of Historical Studies, with Prof Grietjie Verhoef, Department of Accountancy, University of Johannesburg Abstract The popular perception of the existence of a straightforward alliance between Portugal and South Africa as a result of the growing efficacy of African nationalist groups during the 1960s and early 1970s has never been seriously questioned. However, new research into recently declassified documents from the Portuguese military archives and an extensive overview of the Portuguese and South African diplomatic records from that period provide a different perception of what was certainly a complex interaction between the two countries. It should be noted that, although the two countries viewed their close interaction as mutually beneficial, the existing political differences effectively prevented the creation of an open strategic alliance that would have had a greater deterrence value instead of the secretive tactical approach that was used by both sides to resolve immediate security threats. In addition, South African support for Portugal’s long, difficult and costly counterinsurgency effort in three different operational theatres in Africa – Angola, Mozambique and Guinea Bissau – was not really decisive since such support was never provided on a significant scale. A brief analysis of South African-Portuguese relations before the 1960s From an early period, relations between the Union of South Africa and Portugal were strongly influenced by events that took place in the international arena. Moreover, Portuguese perceptions of its closest neighbours in Africa were based on an acute awareness of the United Kingdom’s dominant position on the African continent.

This report fulfils one of the initial steps in helping to mitigate a critical threat to biodiversity within the system, i.e.; Poor Knowledge of the Status, Extent and Factors Regulating Biodiversity within the Basin (Indirect Threat) (SAREP, 2012), providing information on some of the aquatic faunal diversity of the Cubango-Okavango basin within Angola. This report provides a summary of the initial findings of the survey as well as general field conditions and observations. This survey is the second of its kind organised by the Southern African Regional Environmental Programme (SAREP) and the first survey took place in May 2012. The results of this initial survey were documented by Brooks (2012). The surveys are a collaborative venture between SAREP and the Angolan Ministry of Environment‟s (MINAMB) Institute of Biodiversity and the Angolan Ministry of Agricultures National Institute of Fish Research (INIP).

    Country Profile Republic of Angola Giraffe Conservation Status Report May 2020 General statistics Size of country: 1,246,700 km² Size of protected areas / percentage protected area coverage: 12.58% Species and subspecies In 2016 the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) completed the first detailed assessment of the conservation status of giraffe, revealing that their numbers are in peril. This was further emphasised when the majority of the IUCN recognised subspecies where assessed in 2018 – some as Critically Endangered. While this update further confirms the real threat to one of Africa’s most charismatic megafauna, it also highlights a rather confusing aspect of giraffe conservation: how many species/subspecies of giraffe are there? The IUCN currently recognises one species (Giraffa camelopardalis) and nine subspecies of giraffe (Muller et al. 2016) historically based on outdated assessments of their morphological features and geographic ranges. The subspecies are thus divided: Angolan giraffe (G. c. angolensis), Kordofan giraffe (G. c. antiquorum), Masai giraffe (G. c. tippleskirchi), Nubian giraffe (G. c. camelopardalis), reticulated giraffe (G. c. reticulata), Rothschild’s giraffe (G. c. rothschildi), South African giraffe (G. c. giraffa), Thornicroft’s (G. c. thornicrofti) and West African giraffe (G. c. peralta). However, over the past decade GCF together with their partner Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (BiK-F) have performed the first-ever comprehensive DNA sampling and analysis (genomic, nuclear and mitochondrial) from all major natural populations of giraffe throughout their range in Africa. As a result, an update to the traditional taxonomy now exists. This study revealed that there are four distinct species of giraffe and likely six subspecies (Fennessy et al.

    Luengue-Luiana and Mavinga National Parks

    Executive summary SURVEY'DESIGN'AND'RESULTS' We assessed the status and distribution of lions, other large carnivores and key herbivores, in both Luengue-Luiana and Mavinga National Parks. The survey was conducted as part of a Cooperation Agreement signed between Panthera and INBAC of the Angolan Ministry of Environment on July 25th, 2015. Throughout both national parks, wildlife populations were decimated during the three decades’ long Angolan Civil War. Although wildlife populations are recovering, there is intense bushmeat hunting by local villagers, and intense elephant poaching particularly along the Cuando (Kwando) River, south of the Luiana River. Our approach was to use spoor surveys to cover the entirety of both protected areas, and camera traps in four areas of promising wildlife abundance along the Cuando (Kwando), Luiana and Luengue rivers. Our sampling periods spanned the cold and hot dry season months from June to October of 2015 and 2016. All human habitation was noted and an attempt was made throughout to assess the livelihood patterns of the respective communities. Additionally, all signs of activities typically regarded as illegal in a national park were noted where opportunistically observed. To assess tourism potential, we conducted exploratory mission and while conducting spoor surveys noted all areas that might be aesthetically pleasing to tourists. During the spoor survey we recorded 2646 detections across 5 large carnivore and 8 large herbivore species. Leopard, sable and roan were detected in the highest number of survey areas and had the widest distribution across both parks. Conversely lion, kudu and zebra were detected in very few of the sampling units.
