    Agrometeorological Bulletin No. 4 Period October 2020 – April 2021 [English version] Crop and Rangeland monitoring in Angola (Huambo, Huila, Benguela, Cuanza Sul, Namibe and Cunene) Highlights ● The worst drought in 30 years affected the 2020/2021 agricultural season in the southwestern part of the country. ● Harvest of cereals will be completed in June and production prospects are very poor in the affected provinces. ● Low pasture production is expected in Namibe and Cunene, two provinces already stricken by drought also in the 2018/2019 agricultural season. Overview The six provinces of Huambo, Huila, Benguela, Cuanza Sul, Namibe, and Cunene, located in the central and southern part of the country, experienced a poor agricultural season in 2020/2021 due to the worst drought in 30 years that affected these provinces. Although rainfall started on time in most parts of the country, the dry conditions from December 2020 to February 2021 significantly impacted vegetation growth at a critical period for crop development. The rainfall graph with data from the meteorological station in Huambo (note: missing data in March), clearly highlights the good initial rainfall conditions, and the long dry spell that followed. The map of the z-score of cumulative NDVI, an indicator of vegetation biomass level, indicates in red areas with very poor vegetation conditions at the end of April 2021. Harvest of cereal crops will be completed in June in the country and weather conditions during the season as well as satellite images of vegetation status suggest poor cereal and pasture production prospects in the affected provinces due to one of the worst droughts of the last 30 years.

  • Namibia and Angola: Analysis of a Symbiotic Relationship Hidipo Hamutenya*
    Namibia and Angola: Analysis of a symbiotic relationship Hidipo Hamutenya* Introduction Namibia and Angola have much in common, but, at the same time, they differ greatly. For example, both countries fought colonial oppression and are now independent; however, one went through civil war, while the other had no such experience. Other similarities include the fact that the former military groups (Angola’s Movimiento Popular para la Liberacão de Angola, or MPLA, and Namibia’s South West Africa People’s Organisation, or SWAPO) are now in power in both countries. At one time, the two political movements shared a common ideological platform and lent each other support during their respective liberation struggles. The two countries are also neighbours, with a 1,376-km common border that extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Zambezi River in the west. Families and communities on both sides of the international boundary share resources, communicate, trade and engage in other types of exchange. All these facts point to a relationship between the two countries that goes back many decades, and continues strongly today. What defines this relationship and what are the crucial elements that keep it going? Angola lies on the Atlantic coast of south-western Africa. It is richly endowed with natural resources and measures approximately 1,246,700 km2 in land surface area. Populated with more than 14 million people, Angola was a former Portuguese colony. Portuguese explorers first came to Angola in 1483. Their conquest and exploitation became concrete when Paulo Dias de Novais erected a colonial settlement in Luanda in 1575.

  • Chapter 15 the Mammals of Angola
    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.
