Dit sal goed wees om die studie groter publisiteit te gee as net in akademiese kringe, byvoorbeeld die kultuurorganisasies van die Boesmans (San) en Pleknaam- komitees, provinsiaal sowel as nasionaal. Die studie vul ’n groot leemte in die begrip van die rol van die Boesman in Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis. Dit is baanbrekerswerk met inligting wat saam met vroeëre navorsers se resultate gedreig het om in argiewe te verdwyn, maar op ’n nuwe manier aangebied word om die kulturele erfenis van die Boesman te erken en te bewaar.

Box 24, Namtumbo, Tanzania; [email protected]; www.selous-niassa-corridor.com ABSTRACT The Selous-Niassa miombo woodlands of southern Tanzania and northern Mozambique are one of the largest and for the global biodiversity most significant, trans-boundary natural ecosystem in Africa, covering over 154,000 km2. The Selous-Niassa Wildlife Corridor serves as migratory route between the Selous and the Niassa Game Reserves hosting the world’s largest elephant, buffalo and sable populations. The Corridor will be protected with a network of WMAs (Wildlife Management Area) under the management of Authorised Associations excluding any agricultural activity. This aims to empower local communities in the natural resource management in view of improving their livelihoods and maintaining the integrity of the wildlife corridor and its biodiversity.

The research was carried out from August 1999 to December 2000, under the eo-supervision of Prof M. J. Lawes, Dr J. E. Granger and Dr T. Hill. These studies represent the original work by the author and have not otherwise been submitted in any other form for any degree or diploma to another university. Where use has been made ofthe work ofothers, it is duly acknowledged in the text. Signed Wade Macpherson IV Abstract Clear cutting and subsequent agricultural processes lead not only to species loss, but also have negative consequences for soil and water conservation. This study investigated the response to, and effect of, deforestation due to shifting cultivation on the Nkandla forest complex (NFC), a subtropical Afromontane forest. AB a consequence of shifting agriculture, abandoned areas are nutrient poor, have depleted seed banks and may lack the ability to regenerate into species rich mature forest. The ability of forests to regenerate after disturbance effects is extremely important for the maintenance of ecological diversity and the stability of forest ecosystems.

  • Dalbergia Proposal Guatemala
    CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSALS FOR AMENDMENT OF APPENDICES I AND II A. Proposal Inclusion of the genus Dalbergia in CITES Appendix II with exception to the species included in Appendix I. The UNEP-WCMC assessed the Dalbergia species of Latin America and concluded: “… all populations of Dalbergia spp. from South and Central America appear to meet the criteria for listing in CITES Appendix II” (UNEP-WCMC, 2015). Including the whole genus in Appendix II will be essential for the control of international trade by eliminating the arduous task of enforcement and customs officers of differentiating between the hundreds of Dalbergia species listed and not listed in CITES. The inclusion will help ensure that legal trade does not become a direct cause of the extinction of these highly threatened species and will help curb illegal trade. Considering that CITES Appendix II must include all species, which although not necessarily now threatened with extinction may become so unless trade in specimens of such species is subject to strict regulation in order to avoid utilization incompatible with their survival, it is important to include the genus Dalbergia in CITES Appendix II. a) Resolution Conf. 9.24, Annex 2 a, Criterion A - ”It is known, or can be inferred or projected, that the regulation of trade in the species is necessary to avoid it becoming eligible for inclusion in Appendix I in the near future”. b) Resolution Conf. 9.24, Annex 2 a, Criterion B - ”It is known, or can be inferred or projected, that regulation of trade in the species is required to ensure that the harvest of specimens from the wild is not reducing the wild population to a level at which its survival might be threatened by continued harvesting or other influences”.
