  • Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi
    YIKA-VWAZA TRUST RESEARCH STUDY REPORT N (2017/18) Vascular Plant Survey of Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve, Malawi By Sopani Sichinga ([email protected]) September , 2019 ABSTRACT In 2018 – 19, a survey on vascular plants was conducted in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve. The reserve is located in the north-western Malawi, covering an area of about 986 km2. Based on this survey, a total of 461 species from 76 families were recorded (i.e. 454 Angiosperms and 7 Pteridophyta). Of the total species recorded, 19 are exotics (of which 4 are reported to be invasive) while 1 species is considered threatened. The most dominant families were Fabaceae (80 species representing 17. 4%), Poaceae (53 species representing 11.5%), Rubiaceae (27 species representing 5.9 %), and Euphorbiaceae (24 species representing 5.2%). The annotated checklist includes scientific names, habit, habitat types and IUCN Red List status and is presented in section 5. i ACKNOLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, let me thank the Nyika–Vwaza Trust (UK) for funding this work. Without their financial support, this work would have not been materialized. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) Malawi through its Regional Office (N) is also thanked for the logistical support and accommodation throughout the entire study. Special thanks are due to my supervisor - Mr. George Zwide Nxumayo for his invaluable guidance. Mr. Thom McShane should also be thanked in a special way for sharing me some information, and sending me some documents about Vwaza which have contributed a lot to the success of this work. I extend my sincere thanks to the Vwaza Research Unit team for their assistance, especially during the field work.

  • Topic- Natural Vegetation of Africa (Paper- V)
    S.S. COLLEGE; Jehanabad Class- B.A. Part- III Department- Geography Faculty- Dr. Sneha Swarup Topic- Natural Vegetation of Africa (Paper- V) Introduction- Africa is sometimes nicknamed the "Mother Continent" due to its being the oldest inhabited continent on Earth. Humans and human ancestors have lived in Africa for more than 5 million years. Africa, the second-largest continent, is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. It is divided in half almost equally by the Equator. Africa has eight major physical regions: the Sahara, the Sahel, the Ethiopian Highlands, the savanna, the Swahili Coast, the rain forest, the African Great Lakes, and Southern Africa. Some of these regions cover large bands of the continent, such as the Sahara and Sahel, while others are isolated areas, such as the Ethiopian Highlands and the Great Lakes. Each of these regions has unique animal and plant communities. Natural vegetation types of Africa- Map: - Vegetation Types found in Africa Mainly 09 major types of vegetation cover found here- 1 1.

The survey was conducted through monthly visit to the selected sites located in some reserves in two randomly selected local government areas of Mubi region. One each of grazing and forest reserves was purposefully selected in every selected local government area to serve as study site. Four (4) transects of 1,000m in length were selected and stationed on two separate points on each site at every study visit. The start and end of each transect were marked with flags made from white or red clothes to enhance visibility. Moving on the transects, flowering plants found at about 50m radius were visited and observed for the presence and foraging activities of honeybees within a predetermined period of 10 minutes. Plants were scored as bee foraging species when at least three (3) honeybees had visited and foraged on the flowers within the observation period.

    THE MAFINGA MOUNTAINS, ZAMBIA: Report of a reconnaissance trip, March 2018 October 2018 Jonathan Timberlake, Paul Smith, Lari Merrett, Mike Merrett, William Van Niekirk, Mpande Sichamba, Gift Mwandila & Kaj Vollesen Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 24 Mafinga Mountains, Zambia: a preliminary account, page 2 of 41 SUMMARY A brief trip was made in May 2018 to the high-altitude grasslands (2000–2300 m) on the Zambian side of the Mafinga Mountains in NE Zambia. The major objective was to look at plants, although other taxonomic groups were also investigated. This report gives an outline of the area's physical features and previous work done there, especially on vegetation, as well as an account of our findings. It was done at the request of and with support from the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia under a grant from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund. Over 200 plant collections were made representing over 100 species. Based on these collections, along with earlier, unconfirmed records from Fanshawe's 1973 vegetation study, a preliminary checklist of 430 taxa is given. Species of particular interest are highlighted, including four known endemic species and five near-endemics that are shared with the Nyika Plateau in Malawi. There were eight new Zambian records. Based on earlier studies a bird checklist is presented, followed by a brief discussion on mammals and herps. More detailed accounts are given on Orthoptera and some other arthropod groups. A discussion on the ecology and range of habitats is presented, with particular focus on the quartzite areas that are rather similar to those on the Chimanimani Mountains in Zimbabwe/ Mozambique.

  • Melliferous Plants for Cameroon Highlands and Adamaoua Plateau Honey
    Melliferous plants for Cameroon Highlands and Adamaoua Plateau honey April 2011 i Melliferous plants for Cameroon Highlands and Adamaoua Plateau honey A melliferous flower is a plant which produces substances that can be collected by insects and turned into honey. Many plants are melliferous, but only certain plants have pollen and nectar that can be harvested by honey bees (Apis mellifera adansonii in Cameroon). This is because of the bee’s physiognomy (their body size and shape, length of proboscis, etc.) A plant is classified as melliferous if it can be harvested by domesticated honey bees. This is a symbiotic relationship (both organisms benefit), with bees collecting nectar, and pollen for food, and useful plant substances to make propolis to fill gaps in the hive. Plants benefit from the transfer of pollen, which assures fertilization. The tables of 1. Native & Forest Plants, April 2011 i Melliferous plants for Cameroon Highlands and Adamaoua Plateau honey 2. Exotic, Agroforestry & Crop Trees and 3. Bee hating trees list many of the known melliferous plants in the Cameroon Highlands and Adamaoua Plateau. This is the mountain range stretching from Mt Oku in the Northwest, through the Lebialem Highlands and Dschang , to Mt Kupe and Muanengouba and to Mt Cameroon in the Southwest. The information presented covers the flowering period, the resources harvested by bees (Nectar, pollen, propolis, and honeydew). It is worth noting that each plant does not produce the same quantity or quality of these resources, and even among species production varies due to location, altitude, plant health and climate. Digital copies of presentations with photos of some of the plants can be obtained from CIFOR [email protected] , SNV, WHINCONET ([email protected]), ANCO ([email protected]) or ERUDEF [email protected] or [email protected] This data was collected from 2007 to 2010 based on interviews with beekeepers in the Northwest and Southwest, observations, information obtained from botanists in Cameroon and internationally, observations and a review of literature.

For this reason, there is a growing interest in the cosmetic development of plants and their metabolites as alternatives to available chemical-derived skin lightening formulations. Approximately 90% of Africa’s population depends on traditional medicine, and the continent’s biodiversity holds plant material with various biological activities, thus attracting considerable research interest. This study aimed to review existing evidence and document indigenous African plant species capable of inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase and melanogenesis for potential incorporation into skin lightening products. Literature search on melanin biosynthesis, skin lightening, and tyrosinase inhibitors resulted in the identification of 35 plant species were distributed among 31 genera and 21 families across 15 African countries and 9 South African provinces. All plants identified in this study showed competent tyrosinase and melanogenesis inhibitory capabilities. These results indicate that African plants have the potential to serve as alternatives to current chemically-derived skin lighteners.

  • Traditional Methods in Management of Diarrhoeal Diseases in Uganda* W.W
    Traditional methods in management of diarrhoeal diseases in Uganda* W.W. Anokbonggo, R. Odoi-Adome, & P.M. Oluju A total of 292 traditional healers were interviewed in five districts of Uganda to discover how diarrhoeal diseases were treated by them. At least two healers were present in every village visited, and over 42% of their case-load was concerned with diarrhoeal treatment. The investigation showed that a great variety of herbs/plants are used by traditional healers in the treatment of diarrhoeal diseases. All those interviewed used water as the main vehicle for their herbal preparations, the amount prescribed daily ranging from 20 ml to over 100 ml for children (in the case of 54.5% of healers) and 100ml to over 500ml for adults (56.6%); 26.4% of healers considered fluid supplements as mandatory and 70.5% advised patients to take as much fluid as possible. Only 3.1% of healers either limited or did not advise fluid intake. These findings indicate that traditional healers could play an important role in interventions to control diarrhoeal diseases using modern oral rehydration therapy if they are assisted to improve their techniques. The present investigation covered representative was used in the selection of healers who participated areas of the country, taking into account the social in the study. background, customs, and cultural attitudes.
