  • Aerial Surveys of Wildlife and Human Activity Across the Bouba N'djida
    Aerial Surveys of Wildlife and Human Activity Across the Bouba N’djida - Sena Oura - Benoue - Faro Landscape Northern Cameroon and Southwestern Chad April - May 2015 Paul Elkan, Roger Fotso, Chris Hamley, Soqui Mendiguetti, Paul Bour, Vailia Nguertou Alexandre, Iyah Ndjidda Emmanuel, Mbamba Jean Paul, Emmanuel Vounserbo, Etienne Bemadjim, Hensel Fopa Kueteyem and Kenmoe Georges Aime Wildlife Conservation Society Ministry of Forests and Wildlife (MINFOF) L'Ecole de Faune de Garoua Funded by the Great Elephant Census Paul G. Allen Foundation and WCS SUMMARY The Bouba N’djida - Sena Oura - Benoue - Faro Landscape is located in north Cameroon and extends into southwest Chad. It consists of Bouba N’djida, Sena Oura, Benoue and Faro National Parks, in addition to 25 safari hunting zones. Along with Zakouma NP in Chad and Waza NP in the Far North of Cameroon, the landscape represents one of the most important areas for savanna elephant conservation remaining in Central Africa. Aerial wildlife surveys in the landscape were first undertaken in 1977 by Van Lavieren and Esser (1979) focusing only on Bouba N’djida NP. They documented a population of 232 elephants in the park. After a long period with no systematic aerial surveys across the area, Omondi et al (2008) produced a minimum count of 525 elephants for the entire landscape. This included 450 that were counted in Bouba N’djida NP and its adjacent safari hunting zones. The survey also documented a high richness and abundance of other large mammals in the Bouba N’djida NP area, and to the southeast of Faro NP. In the period since 2010, a number of large-scale elephant poaching incidents have taken place in Bouba N’djida NP.

  • Cephalophus Natalensis – Natal Red Duiker
    Cephalophus natalensis – Natal Red Duiker listed two subspecies, including C. n. natalensis from KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), eastern Mpumalanga and southern Mozambique, and C. n. robertsi Rothschild 1906 from Mozambique and the regions north of the Limpopo River (Skinner & Chimimba 2005). Assessment Rationale This species is restricted to forest patches within northeastern South Africa and Swaziland. They can occur at densities as high as 1 individual / ha. In KZN, there are an estimated 3,046–4,210 individuals in protected areas alone, with the largest subpopulation of 1,666–2,150 Sam Williams individuals occurring in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (2012– 2014 counts; Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife unpubl. data). This Regional Red List status (2016) Near Threatened subpopulation is inferred to have remained stable or B2ab(ii,v)* increased over three generations (2000–2015), as the previous assessment (2004, using count data from 2002) National Red List status (2004) Least Concern estimated subpopulation size as 1,000 animals. While no Reasons for change Non-genuine change: other provincial subpopulation estimates are available, New information they are regularly recorded on camera traps in the Soutpansberg Mountains of Limpopo and the Mariepskop Global Red List status (2016) Least Concern forests of Mpumalanga, including on private lands outside protected areas (S.

For example, reintroduced individuals from the 1980/90s are still present in areas of Endemic No southern KZN and are slowly moving into adjacent *Watch-list Data farmlands (Y.

The estimated area of occupancy, using remaining (2013/14 land cover) Although standing only about 0.45 m high forest patches within the extent of occurrence, is 1,800 (Bowland 1997), the Natal Red Duiker has km2.

  • (Alcelaphus Buselaphus) in OLD OYO NATIONAL PARK, NIGERIA
    EFFECTS OF AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF WESTERN HARTEBEEST (Alcelaphus buselaphus) IN OLD OYO NATIONAL PARK, NIGERIA *Akinyemi, A. F. **Kayode, I. B. Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Management, University of Ibadan, ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria *E-mail: [email protected] **E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study on the effect of agricultural practices on the distribution of Western Hartebeest was carried out in Old Oyo National Park, using Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA), Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methods and structured questionnaire to collect information. Animal census survey was also carried out in the park using line transect method to determine the distribution pattern of Western Hartebeest in Sites 'A' the core zones of the park without human activities, and site 'B' the park with human and agricultural activities. T distribution paired test, ANOVA and percentages were used for statistical analyses. The result revealed that there is no significant difference in the purposes of using fire but significantly differs in the distribution of Western Hartebeest in both sites. Therefore, conservation education and modern techniques of agriculture such as planting of hybrids with high yield quality, pest and disease resistance should be introduced to the farmers. Key Words: Agricultural practices, Western Hartebeest, Old Oyo National Park Journal of Environmental Issues and Agriculture in Developing Countries Vol. 2 No. 1 , April 2010 121 INTRODUCTION Wildlife is an important component of savannah ecosystem and is dependent on the vegetation to thrive. The status and trend of wildlife will not be adequately considered without giving consideration to their habitats. Until the beginning of this century, tropical wildlife was reasonably undistributed and was considered to be balanced with traditional human activities, shifting cultivation and hunting with primitive tools such as traps, snares and flint guns (Asibey, 1976).
