  • Eidolon Helvum – African Straw-Coloured Fruit-Bat
    Eidolon helvum – African Straw-coloured Fruit-bat plateaus of South Africa. There are no known breeding colonies within the assessment region; the closet one is located in Marromeu in central Mozambique. This species exists in modified landscapes and is often recorded in urban areas. Though it is in decline in other parts of Africa, due to harvesting pressure for bushmeat and traditional medicine, these uses have not been recorded within the assessment region and no regional declines are suspected. Thus, we list this species as Least Concern. Data on additional colonies (especially breeding colonies), population size and trend as well as establishing the threats to this species within the assessment region are needed as it may qualify for a threatened listing and/or a conservation dependent status, especially given the decline of this species in other parts of its range and the Mervin Tuttle potential importance of the assessment region as a regional refuge.

    INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT DOCUMENT TITLE: TIMBERS OF TROPICAL AFRICA PART 2: GROUP 7(2) WITHIN THE PROTA PROGRAMME SERIAL NUMBER: PD 479/07 Rev.2 (M) COMMITTEE: ECONOMIC INFORMATION AND MARKET INTELLIGENCE SUBMITTED BY: GOVERNMENT OF GHANA ORIGINAL LANGUAGE: ENGLISH BACKGROUND: As part of a total programme to improve the access to information on the 7000 useful plants of Tropical Africa and to promote their use in a sustainable manner, PROTA (Plant Resources of Tropical Africa) will make a synthesis of all existing but dispersed knowledge on the estimated 1070 ‘Timbers of Tropical Africa’ (Commodity group 7) in two Parts. This document concerns the second sub-project, on the 570 ‘Timbers of Tropical Africa’ from currently less important timber-producing taxonomic families (Commodity group 7(2)). It is preceded by a sub-project on the 500 ‘Timbers of Tropical Africa’ from the currently more important timber-producing taxonomic families (Commodity group 7(1); ITTO Project PD 264/04 Rev. 3 (M,I)). PROTA is strongly rooted in the group that successfully delivered the ITTO-funded PROSEA ‘Timber trees’ Handbook volumes.
