JJ Kotze MSc (Zoology) Compiled by JJ Kotze 2 Updated & Revised February 2014 Faunal study Rietvallei 180 IQ 1 INTRODUCTION The fauna surveys focused on the current status of threatened species occurring, or likely to occur, within the proposed development area, and on describing the available and sensitive habitats and any potential impacts posed by the proposed development to these habitats. 1.1 Objectives of the faunal surveys • To provide a description of the fauna occurring at and in close proximity to the proposed development area. • To identify faunal species of conservation importance. • To determine potential impacts of the proposed development on the fauna • To provide management recommendations to mitigate negative and enhance positive impacts. 1.2 Scope of study • Amphibian, reptile and small mammal surveys, recording sightings and/or evidence of existing fauna. • An assessment of the ecological habitats, evaluating conservation importance and significance, with special emphasis on the current status of threatened animal species (Red Data species), within the proposed development area. • Literature investigations with which to augment field data where necessary. • Identification of potential ecological impacts that could occur as a result of the development and assess the significance of these, where possible. • Investigate feasible and practical management recommendations that should be implemented to reduce or minimise the impacts, should the project be approved. • Documentation

Eight different corridors were identified. Three of these would link the existing Westgate and Tarlton Substations and the other five would link the existing Tarlton Substation to the proposed new Kromdraai Substation. Past activities in the study area consisted of farming activities. In recent times, the area was subjected to intense urbanisation, which would have destroyed any heritage features that might have occurred in the region.

  • 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.

    ZIMBABWE ZAMBIA MALAWI SPECIES CHECKLIST AFRICA VEGETATION MAP BIOMES DeserT (Namib; Sahara; Danakil) Semi-deserT (Karoo; Sahel; Chalbi) Arid SAvannah (Kalahari; Masai Steppe; Ogaden) Grassland (Highveld; Abyssinian) SEYCHELLES Mediterranean SCruB / Fynbos East AFrican Coastal FOrest & SCruB DrY Woodland (including Mopane) Moist woodland (including Miombo) Tropical Rainforest (Congo Basin; upper Guinea) AFrO-Montane FOrest & Grassland (Drakensberg; Nyika; Albertine rift; Abyssinian Highlands) Granitic Indian Ocean IslandS (Seychelles) INTRODUCTION The idea of this booklet is to enable you, as a Wilderness guest, to keep a detailed record of the mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians that you observe during your travels. It also serves as a compact record of your African journey for future reference that hopefully sparks interest in other wildlife spheres when you return home or when travelling elsewhere on our fragile planet. Although always exciting to see, especially for the first-time Africa visitor, once you move beyond the cliché of the ‘Big Five’ you will soon realise that our wilderness areas offer much more than certain flagship animal species. Africa’s large mammals are certainly a big attraction that one never tires of, but it’s often the smaller mammals, diverse birdlife and incredible reptiles that draw one back again and again for another unparalleled visit. Seeing a breeding herd of elephant for instance will always be special but there is a certain thrill in seeing a Lichtenstein’s hartebeest, cheetah or a Lilian’s lovebird – to name but a few. As a globally discerning traveller, look beyond the obvious, and challenge yourself to learn as much about all wildlife aspects and the ecosystems through which you will travel on your safari.
