Bulawayo. Zimbabwe GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE 2019 HWANGE GAME CENSUS (Elevation 1034m: Latitude 19.1240539: Longitude 26.59259129999998)

This year’s 50th 24-hour Static Pan Census, took place from 1200hrs 13th to 1159hrs 14th October, 2019. We had assistance from 343 participating members, making up 94 teams: in comparison, in 2018 we had 91 teams and in 2017 89 teams and 83 in 2016. The teams were deployed throughout the Park and Safari Lodge/Forestry Areas: 51 in the Main Camp Area (with two teams at Dopi Pan), 18 in the Sinamatella Area, 19 in the Robins Area and 6 in the Safari Lodge/Forestry Area: in comparison with 2018, 56 teams were deployed in the Main Camp Area (with two teams at Dopi Pan), 11 in the Sinamatella Area, 17 in the Robins Area and 7 in the Safari Lodge/Forestry Areas.

The Aerial Survey to establish the water situation on the ground for pan allocation purposes, was carried out 4th to 6th October, one week prior to the census. Of the 257 water points earmarked for the flyover, covering the Safari Lodge/Forestry area and the Park itself, 163 had water, a percentage of 63%, which overall is a fair picture regards life giving water for the animals of this Park: we mention fair as all waterholes were under tremendous pressure this year by the number of elephants which had come in from Botswana seeking water: the pumps were not coping with this pressure and resulted in many waterholes, on the whole at low levels, being reduced to mud or little muddy pools. The flight over the Main Camp section, through the Wilderness and Imvelo Concessions and down to the southern end of the Park, revealed that 51 of 76 water-holes had water: the flight over the middle section of the Park revealed that 22 out of 65 water-holes had water and at the top end of the Park through to the Robins section, 72 out of 85 water points had water. Going by the sheer size of Hwange National Park, 14,540 sq. km, you will understand that it is logistically impossible for us to cover every water source during the 24hr census, therefore our aim is to count at least at all our traditional water-holes for data collection purposes. For the Aerial Survey we thank Parks for their assistance with this survey and Pat Cox and our WEZ coordinators - Pat has carrying out this particular survey for us for 27 years now and you will understand that we would have a real problem on our hands without Pat when it comes to allocating pans to our teams, particularly in the more remote areas of the Park and for this we are hugely grateful.

Weather conditions reported by our teams over the 24hr census period, was that it was clear, hot and sunny – cooler at night: intermittent winds and gusts during the day, but on the whole, mostly still at night. There was limited haze on the whole, thus good viewing by moonlight. Average temperatures recorded over the Park were 32.9 (12:00H), 35 (15:00H), 32.2 (18:00H), 25:4 (21:00H), 23.1 (00:00H) 19.2 (03:00H), 18:2 (06:00H), 28.3 (09:00H) and 34.6 (11:59H). Of interest at 15:00H a sweltering high of 53.0 was recorded at Shapi Pan dropping to 19.3 at 06:00H: and at Kennedy One a low of 10.5 was recorded at 03:00H. On the 13th October the sun set at 17.55H with the moon rising at 17:41H: and on the 14th the moon set at 05:52H with the sun coming up at 05:28H.

Of a possible 111 mammal species in Hwange National Park (189 species total Zimbabwe), this year 42 species were observed, 44 species last year: and of interest, a high number of 48 species was recorded in 2008. The most species recorded during the census were 21 at Samavundhla Pan in the Main Camp Area and the least number 3 at Manzichisa in the Robins Area and Bumbusi Hide in the Sinamatella Area. The highest number of animals recorded during the census were 2956 at Masuma in the Sinamatella Area – 1251 Buffalo and 1169 Elephant making up this number – least animals recorded during the census were 63 animals at Manzichisa in the Robins area (with 3 species). Out of the total of 63219 animals, 39946 were recorded in the Safari Lodge/Forestry and Main Camp Area (63%).

GIRAFFE: This year 189 Giraffe were recorded during the census, last year there were 166 (since 2001 when 411 Giraffe were recorded there has been over a 40% decline in numbers). Giraffe were recorded at a total of 42 pans throughout the Park and Safari Lodge/Forestry area: for your interest, 8 Giraffe were recorded in the Safari Lodge/Forestry area, 135 in the Main Camp area (with good number … 6 at Dopi, 8 at Jambile, 18 at Kennedy One, 13 at Makwa, 31 at Ngamo, 6 at Tshebe Tshebe and 7 at Umtshibi), 20 in the Sinamatella area and 26 in the Robins area (with 11 at Deteema Dam). WEZ has been concerned about the decline in numbers of Giraffe for a number of years now and interestingly enough, the IUCN, the body that administers the world’s official endangered species list, has recently announced that it was moving the Giraffe from a species of Least Concern to Vulnerable Status. That means that the Giraffe faces extinction in the wild in the medium term future if nothing is done to minimize the threats to its life or habitat. Worldwide, Giraffe numbers have dropped by 60000 individuals (40%) in the last 30 years - they are undergoing a silent extinction! As one of the world’s most iconic animals, it is timely that we “stick our neck” out for the Giraffe before it is too late. Perhaps the best and only answer is that both poaching and habitat encroachment need to be stopped to save the Giraffe.

HIPPOPOTAMUS: Hippo are large semi-aquatic mammals, living for around 40 years and they are considered the second largest land mammal on Earth (first place goes to the Elephant). Males measure around 3.5m long and 1.5m tall, and can weigh up to 3,200kg. To stay cool in the blistering African heat, hippos spend most of their day in rivers and lakes and in this Park in pans and dams suited to their way of life. Hippos are most active at night, when they forage for food. They are herbivores and in one night can guzzle down up to 35kg, therefore Hippos not only need a good bathing spot, but also an area which has ample forage close-by. 163 Hippo were recorded this year in 18 pans/dams in the Park. Of interest:-. Main Camp Area: Josivanini/1, Major/14, Wexcau/1, Makalolo/11, Back Pans/4, Ngamo/1, L. Samavundla/5, Samavundla/2, Nyamandhlovu/3, Dom/6, Boss Long One/4, Livingi/1, Grannies/1. Sinamatella Area: Mandavu Dam/33, Masuma/1, Shumba Platform/3, Tshompani Dam/1. Robins Area: Crocodile Pools Hide/21 (and plenty more up stream. Of concern, 3 dead Hippo were recorded at Mandavu Dam (ZPWMA and Bhejane Trust confirm Anthrax outbreak). Page 3/-

CAPE BUFFALO: Buffalo are herbivores, feeding on plants only: mostly grass. Therefore, the natural habitat of a Buffalo mostly consists of woodlands and pasturelands where they exist in herds. Buffalo also need a large intake of water and for this reason remain on the whole near a source of water. Buffalo numbered 5216 this year and recorded at 32 pans/dams as follows:- Safari Lodge/Forestry Area: Sable Sands/216. Main Camp Area: Major/142, Mfagazaan/1, Ngamo/234, Broken Rifle/1, Back Pans/300+, Madison/113, Ostrich/163, L. Makalolo/261, L. Samavundla/268, Samavundla/54, Shapi/20, Kennedy 2/17, Rays/19, Somalisa Acacia/20, Manga 3/2, Masumamalisa/150, Danga/35, Nehimba Lodge/118, Grannies/3. Sinamatella Area: Baobab/1, Gurangwenya/5, Inyantue/2, Mandavu South/1003 (0702hrs), Mandavu West/212, Masuma/1251 (0150hrs), Shumba Platform/25, Tshompani Dam/4. Robins Area: Chingahobe Dam/35, Deteema Dam/165, Deteema P/Site 183, Manzimbomvu/6, Mbejane/3.

The total number of animals recorded during the census for Hwange National Park and the Safari Lodge/Forestry Areas was 63219 compared with 39317 last year: with Elephant highest on the list at 40675 (with 9414 juveniles representing 23% of the total): last year there were 23466 (with 4100 juveniles representing 17% of the total). This year’s breakdown of Elephant - 644 (with 154 juveniles) were recorded in the Safari Lodge/Forestry Area, 28095 (with 6600 juveniles) in the Main Camp Area, 6814 (with 1472 juveniles) in the Sinamatella Area and 5122 (with 1188 Juveniles) in the Robins Area. Elephant were recorded at most water points, with exception of Safari Lodge in the Safari Lodge/Forestry Area and Robins Camp Weir in the Robins Area. High numbers of Elephant (1000+) were counted at Madundumela, Secheche, Mpisi, Nyamandhlovu, Dom, Somalisa Main, Somalisa Acacia, in the Main Camp area: Camp Hwange, Masuma, Shumba Platform in the Sinamatella area: and Big Toms and Reedbuck Vlei in the Robins area.

An interesting observation and it was the same last year – focusing on two small sections of the Park: Firstly, the Somalisa/Verneys concessions, an area of approx. 15sq. km (putting an imaginary circle round Jambili, Verneys (counted for the first time last year), Manga 1, Manga 3, Masumamalisa, Ngweshla and Umkawazaan, 8846 (last year 3752) Elephant were recorded, representing 21% (approx.) of the total number of Elephant - a high concentration of Elephant in a relatively small area. Secondly, the same goes for a 10+ sq. km area (approx.) – putting a circle round Shumba, Camp Hwange, Grannies, Nehimba Lodge pan and Danga - 3762 Elephant were recorded here, representing 9% (approx.) of the total number of Elephant recorded in the Park. To sum up, in these two areas alone, 30% approx. of the total number of Elephant for the Safari Lodge/Forestry Area and the Park was recorded!

Foster Betts worked out that in comparing Elephant numbers as a fraction of the total count – that Elephant numbers had generally been increasing over the years and it is interesting to know that between 1991 and 1994 that Elephant numbers represented no more than 40% of the census total. The percentage number in the mid- 1980s rose to a high of 61% in 2011. In 2012 Elephant number dropped from 61% to 44% of the total animals recorded! Perhaps one of the main factors in this drop may have been due largely to the availability of water and food. In 2013/2014/2015 there was a steady rise in the percentage from 58% to 61, 5%: in 2016 the percentage dropped to 52.5%, but went up in 2017 to 59.5% and 2018 to 59.6%: this year with 40675 Elephant the percentage is an all-time high of 64.3%. All said, the Elephant still remains the predominant species in the Park.

YEAR % Elephant 2011 61% 2012 44% 2013 58% 2014 59% 2015 61.5% 2016 52.5% 2017 59.5% 2018 59.6% 2019 64.3%

OKAVANGO DELTA – BOTSWANA

Rhino Conservation Botswana confirmed that they are in the grip of a terrible drought, bringing home to them the reality of what a drier and warmer future will look like in the face of climate change. River flow into the Okavango Delta this season is the lowest measured in over 60 years and the floodplains have not yet received their annual flow of water. There have been as a consequence, dramatic movements of animals across the delta. Above is a snapshot of Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

As a direct cause of above, we believe and Stephen Long confirmed in their October Bhejane Newsletter, that there had been masses of immigrant Elephant from Botswana that had sought refuge in Zimbabwe. This is borne out where normally the Elephant number on the WEZ counts is on average 25000 and this year it is 40675!

This resulted in tremendous pressure on the water-holes especially by Elephant: the solar pumps were pumping, but not coping with the numbers: most pans were reduced to mud, with the Elephant tending to monopolize the troughs especially, keeping other animals out! As the majority of pans in the Park have been converted to solar pumps, the water flow ceased at abt. 1730H and started up again when the sun came up which exasperated the situation.

The stress in these conditions on the wildlife has been immense, especially the Elephants – they have visibly lost condition, with prominent spines and pelvic bones. A farming friend rated the condition of the Elephant and other species too at 5/or 6 out of 10 – he said if it was cattle related he would be most concerned! With the high temperatures, little food and the difficulty in getting enough water to drink, sadly there have been many fatalities particularly in the Main Camp Area.

Of interest, at Rays Pan in the Somalisa Concession, there was no water coming out of the pipe at the start of the count - 740 elephants were recorded there, with only some of the larger Elephant mud-bathing, but did not drink, all passed through: it was the same at Madundumela 1251 Elephant, Mpisi 1164 Elephant and Shapi 757 Elephant – only a few managed a drink out of the trough, but most waited and then moved on! At the pans, stress levels were high as the count wore on – lots of noise, bickering and chasing around the pan areas.

There was an increase in “Other Species” (apart from Elephant) from 15851 (last year) to 22544 this year – an increase of 6693: particularly with Chacma Baboon, Impala, Kudu and Zebra: with a decline in numbers of Eland, Klipspringer and Springhare. YEAR “Other Species” 2011 14,882 2012 18,339 2013 14,159 2014 15,432 2015 17,662 2016 19 487 2017 16 122 2018 15,851 2019 22,544

Trends for several species can now be viewed graphically in this report and it is important to note, that census numbers are substantially reduced by Bad Weather during the count period and on the other hand on the upper

Page 6/- side by the presence of Abundant Surface Water in the Park, and the graphs show large variations because of this. Three extreme years were 1986 1997 and 2009.

These results indicate that there are significant factors affecting the populations of a number of species, although only detailed analysis by wildlife scientists can properly interpret the data. As can be seen from the “Selected Species” table, there is some variation in the number of pans counted each year, which although relatively small compared to the decreases in the count numbers, must be taken into account. Other factors must be considered in using “pan count” data, but its use in the 2006 PH. D. theses of Marion Valeix and Simon Chamaille-Jammes has demonstrated its overall scientific usefulness.

During the census BLZ/WEZ carried out a Bird census - a total number of 232 species were recorded, compared to 212 species recorded in the previous year – an increase of 20 species. 156 of the 232 species were recorded in the Main Camp Area, 131 in the Sinamatella Area, 152 in the Robins Area and 72 in the Safari Lodge/Forestry Area. Of interest recorded during the census were 10 Common Ostrich, 2 White-breasted Cormorant, White/Black/Saddle-billed/ and Marabou Storks, 20 Secretary Bird, 18 Hooded/ 32 White- backed/ 20 Lappet-faced/ and 14 White Headed Vultures, Black and Yellow-billed Kite, Tawny Eagle/Martial and African Crowned Eagles,36 Bateleur, 1 Osprey, 2 Grey Crowned Crane, 10 Kori Bustard, 1 African Skimmer, 1 Southern Carmine Bee-eater, 14 Southern Ground-Hornbill, Red-billed/Yellow-billed Oxpeckers and Common Myna were seen at Mpisi Pan. We thank Peta Ditchburn, Birdlife Zimbabwe, Matabeleland Branch, for her comprehensive reporting (included in this Data Book) [email protected]

Sadly to add to this report - a tragedy happened the day before the count – Martinus Nel was killed by an elephant at Bohmani Camp – Cheryl and Martinus were to count at Stoffies Pan in the Imvelo Concession (have done so for a number of years) – our sincere condolences to Cheryl and family on your loss.

In conclusion, we have many to thank: the Director General - Mr. F. Mangwana Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority and staff for their continued support and assistance with this census: the concession holders and lodges for allowing our teams access to their water-holes for the census period: all participating members for their extremely important contribution: Karl Schmahl and his team for collating the data and Jean Whiley for input of graphs - all of which contributing to the great success of the census and compilation of this report.

The Aerial Survey to establish the water situation on the ground was carried out 4th to 6th October, 2019. Of the 257 water points earmarked for the flyover, covering the Safari Lodge/Forestry area and the Park, 163 had water, a percentage of 63%, last year it was higher at 77%: which overall is a fair picture regards water for the animals of this Park. Going by the sheer size of Hwange National Park, 14,540 sq. km, you will understand that it is logistically impossible for us to cover every single water source during the 24hr census, therefore of importance for data collection purposes, we ensure that our traditional counting water-holes are covered firstly.

The routes flown covered a distance of approx. 1500kms, with a flying time of approx. 10 to 12 hours over three days, during which time all pumped and natural pans earmarked for the survey were checked: it should be noted that with regard to the central area of the Park, with no pumped pans or natural water at this time of year, this area is not included in the flight plan.

For the Aerial Survey we thank the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, Pat Cox (Pilot) our three WEZ game count coordinators and helpers for all assistance - Pat has been carrying out this survey for 27 years now and you can understand that we would have a real problem on our hands when it comes to allocating pans to our teams without Pat, ninety-four teams this year, particularly in the more remote areas of the Park and for this we are hugely grateful.

Below is a detailed map of the flight plan and whilst there may have been slight variations to this, these were insignificant.

I would like to say how delighted I was to receive so many completed bird lists this year. A total of 232 species were recorded compared to 212 species recorded in the previous year – an increase of 20 species.

The extremely dry conditions certainly had an effect on the number of birds associated with water. There was an increase in some of the birds prey and vultures because of the many dead elephant present. It was great to see that there were numerous vultures seen. There were concerns, within BirdLife, that the massive poisoning in mid 2019 in Botswana near our border may have affected our population. A total of 537 birds were poisoned in that incident!

Most of the more uncommon water birds were recorded around the larger bodies of water like Mandavu Dam. For example being 2 Goliath Heron, 2 White-breasted Cormorant and an African Skimmer. A Pied Avocet was seen at Deteema Dam. Egyptian Goose sightings were down from 41 in 2018 to 29 this year. Grey Heron sightings were down from 23 to 15 and Red-billed Teal down from 15 last year to 6. Blacksmith Plovers were only sighted at 37 water points compared to 58 last year.

As mentioned, some of the Vulture species sighting increased this year. White-backed – 23 to 32 sightings, Lappet- faced – 7 to 20 sightings and White-headed – 9 to 14 sightings. Hooded Vulture remained at 18 sightings. Secretarybird sightings doubled in 2019. Kori Bustard sightings increased slightly with one juvenile seen following an adult bird. The number of Marabou Stork sightings were up from 8 to 18 this year.

The birds of prey presented some different sightings. Sightings of Tawny Eagle were well down and Martial Eagle was one up on last year. Brown Snake-Eagle, Bateleur and African Fish Eagle numbers were well up on last years. Brown Snake-Eagle from 4 sightings to 7. Bateleur from 29 to 36 and African Fish Eagle from 8 to 26! More of the smaller birds of prey were seen this year with a rare Western Marsh Harrier being seen at Madison Pan on the Wilderness Concession. Also seen this year but not seen last year were Ovambo Sparrowhawk, Black Sparrowhawk (bathing and drinking at trough overflow), Dark Chanting Goshawk and 9 African Harrier-Hawk. This year an African Crowned Eagle was seen at Shumba. A total of 59 sightings of Yellow-billed Kite were seen, being the most seen of all the birds of prey.

Large numbers of Cape Turtle-Doves and Emerald-spotted Wood-Doves were seen. Seven species of Owl and six species of Nightjars were recorded. Most were identified by call but some counters had good sightings of Verreaux’s Eagle-Owl. At Kennedy 1 pan an adult pair and juvenile were seen perched in a large dead tree.

There were 11 sightings of Burchell’s Sandgrouse, 16 sightings of Double-banded Sandgrouse and 3 sightings of Yellow- throated Sandgrouse.

Common Myna were seen at Mpisi Pan where they were building a nest in the hole of a tree where Red-billed Buffalo- Weaver had nests. They were also recorded at Josivanini Pan and Nehimba Pan.

Pied Crow were recorded in all four areas. In the Main Camp area at Josivanini, Little Makalolo, Somalisa, Back Pan, Ngamo and Ostrich Pan. At Shumba in the Sinamatella area. In the Robins area at Deka, Big Tom Hide and Robins Pan and in the Forestry area at Bohmani and Ganda Lodge.

Two male Common Ostrich were recorded at Deka Home Vlei, four at Dililo and one male at Big Tom Hide. In the Main Camp area, one male ostrich, three females and one chick were surprisingly seen at Ostrich Pan! One male each seen at Mbiza and Manga 3 pans. Ostrich were also recorded at Mpisi, Madundumela and Ngweshla pans.

Thank you for all the effort put in by the counters.
