The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

  • South Africa: Magoebaskloof and Kruger National Park Custom Tour Trip Report
    SOUTH AFRICA: MAGOEBASKLOOF AND KRUGER NATIONAL PARK CUSTOM TOUR TRIP REPORT 24 February – 2 March 2019 By Jason Boyce This Verreaux’s Eagle-Owl showed nicely one late afternoon, puffing up his throat and neck when calling www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT South Africa: Magoebaskloof and Kruger National Park February 2019 Overview It’s common knowledge that South Africa has very much to offer as a birding destination, and the memory of this trip echoes those sentiments. With an itinerary set in one of South Africa’s premier birding provinces, the Limpopo Province, we were getting ready for a birding extravaganza. The forests of Magoebaskloof would be our first stop, spending a day and a half in the area and targeting forest special after forest special as well as tricky range-restricted species such as Short-clawed Lark and Gurney’s Sugarbird. Afterwards we would descend the eastern escarpment and head into Kruger National Park, where we would make our way to the northern sections. These included Punda Maria, Pafuri, and the Makuleke Concession – a mouthwatering birding itinerary that was sure to deliver. A pair of Woodland Kingfishers in the fever tree forest along the Limpopo River Detailed Report Day 1, 24th February 2019 – Transfer to Magoebaskloof We set out from Johannesburg after breakfast on a clear Sunday morning. The drive to Polokwane took us just over three hours. A number of birds along the way started our trip list; these included Hadada Ibis, Yellow-billed Kite, Southern Black Flycatcher, Village Weaver, and a few brilliant European Bee-eaters.

Bird survey was conducted using both Line transect and Area search methods. A total of Eight (8) transect lines with lengths ranging from 1km to 1.5km were walked during the survey. The survey spanned three months May, June and July with 6 repeat visits. Data obtained were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. PAST Software (version 16) was used to compute bird diversity indices while differences in birds mean number between the developed and undeveloped areas were analysed using T-test. A total of 876 individual birds from 63 species, 27 families and 11 Orders were recorded in the study area. The developed area had 46 species from 24 families while the undeveloped area had 20 species from 12 families. The family Pycnonotidae had the highest number of species both in the developed (6, 13.04%) and undeveloped (6, 10.34%) areas.

    Tawny Frogmouth. Photo: Andrew Haysom A REPORT ON A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP IN ECO-ACOUSTIC MONITORING IN THE MOUNT ALEXANDER REGION, VICTORIA Prepared by: Dr Sera Blair, Dr Christine Connelly & Caitlin Griffith, Victorian National Parks Association. Dr Karen Rowe & Dr Amy Adams, Museums Victoria Victorian National Parks Association The Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) helps to shape the agenda for creating and managing national parks, conservation reserves and other important natural areas across land and sea. We work with all levels of government, the scientific community and the general community to achieve long term, best practice environmental outcomes. The VNPA is also Victoria’s largest bush walking club and provides a range of information, education and activity programs to encourage Victorians to get active for nature. NatureWatch NatureWatch is a citizen science program which engages the community in collecting scientific data on Victorian native plants and animals. The program builds links between community members, scientists and land managers to develop scientific, practical projects that contribute to a better understanding of species and ecosystems, and contributes to improved management of natural areas. Project Partners Museums Victoria Museums Victoria has been trusted with the collection and curation of Victoria’s natural history for over 160 years and serves as a key international research institute and expert in data archiving and long-term data protection. Responding to changing intellectual issues, studying subjects of relevance to the community, providing training and professional development, and working closely with schools, communities, and online visitors, Museums Victoria works to disseminate our collective knowledge through online resources and image, audio and video databases.

    Observations of Long-tailed Skua Stercorarius longicaudus, South Polar Skua Stercorarius maccormicki and other skuas in Papua New Guinea waters. By Neil Cheshire From 1985 to 2007 I made twenty voyages in CSIRO research vessels to the seas around Papua New Guinea including the Gulf of Papua, northern Coral Sea, Solomon Sea, Bismarck Sea and adjacent Equatorial Pacific, with voyages in all months except December. All observations listed are within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Papua New Guinea which extends up to 200 nautical miles (370km) offshore. I made counts of seabirds whilst steaming between stations when research work permitted. Most of my counts were from well offshore and very few Skua sp. were recorded. Long-tailed Skua Stercorarius longicaudus has a circumpolar Arctic breeding distribution during the northern summer with migration to the southern hemisphere commencing in late August (Furness 1987). In the SW Pacific region it is regularly recorded in small numbers off south east Australia, in the Tasman Sea and around northern New Zealand between September and May (Higgins and Davies 1996). There are no documented records for Papua New Guinea waters. Greensmith(1975) reported an immature near San Cristobal Island, Solomon Islands on 5 Feb 1975. I made the following observations of Long-tailed Skua in Papua New Guinea waters:- 15 Jan 1986 1°50’S 147°35’E 10 n.miles N from Manus Island. Equatorial Pacific, 1 immature 6 May 1988 0°00’ 149°00’E 95 n.miles NNW from Mussau. Equatorial Pacific, 1 immature 9 Sept 1990 5°52’S 152 24’E 32 n.miles SE Cape Orford, New Britain, 1 immature 24 Sept 1990 6°46’S 147°50’E 4 n.miles S from Busiga, Bismarck Sea, 2 adults 8 Nov 1993 11°31’S 154°24’E 8 n.miles S Adele Island, Coral Sea.

  • 1000 CHAPTER 6 the Creation Of
    1000 CHAPTER 6 The creation of man: creation, not macroevolution – mind the gap. a] Human Anatomy: the generally united creationist school. b] Spotting the wood from the trees - the similarities of homology in promisians, simians, satyr beasts, & men; & the generally united creationist school. c] Soul-talk: i] Distinguishing man from animals - the soul gives man a god focus & capacity for religious belief in the supernatural, and conscience morality seen in a moral code. ii] A revised taxonomy for primates must replace the erroneous twofold taxonomy used for primates. iii] Distinguishing satyr beasts & Man, the Apers & Adamites: A clean cut – like putting a knife through butter. A] Men have souls, animals do not: the APER (African Pre-Edenic Race). B] An Aper Case Study: Australia. C] People “going ape” over the Apers. iv] Where creationists do differ: Subspeciation with respect to man. A] Where are the Adamites in the fossil record? B] Did God create diverse human races? A short preliminary discussion. d] The illusive search for Mitochondrial Adam & Eve: “I know that my genes have ancestors back to Adam: whereas paleontologists can only speculate that fossils they find had descendants.” e] Perforated bones: “Blowing the bone whistle” on “anthropologists” playing loony tunes on “bone flutes.” f] Frustrated Darwinian Macroevolutionists use fraudulent “transitional fossils” against the generally United Creationist School. (Chapter 6) a] Human Anatomy: the generally united creationist school. In 1802, creationist Paley used as a teleological argument of the human body, saying, “For my part, I take my stand in human anatomy 1.” This validly looks to the complexities of human biology to see a design pointing to a Divine Designer.
