Blue Lagoon National Park General Management Plan Blue Lagoon National Park General Management Plan FOREWORD This General Management Plan (GMP) for Blue Lagoon National Park provides guidelines for the conservation and management of natural resources, tourism development and community participation in natural resource management. It provides a framework for the conservation of both natural and cultural resources inside and outside the National Park. It will be in force for 10 years and is subject to review after every two years. The GMP was generated through a lengthy participatory and interactive Strategic Planning Process (SPP) involving key stakeholders. It was produced with the collaboration of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) following a Partnership Agreement with the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) signed in the year 2000. It emphasises the commitment of ZAWA to checking the balance between the preservation and utilization of biodiversity to ensure long-term survival of wildlife resources in a way that benefits both local and regional human populations, as well as international visitors. My hope and wish is that this GMP will not just be another document destined to lie on dusty shelves. It should be viewed and treated as a useful, practical, handy and dynamic document, which will be updated and continually revised. In other words, it should be the most important document on which all those concerned and responsible for Blue Lagoon National Park should rely upon. Hapenga M. Kabeta Director General Zambia Wildlife Authority Zambia Wildlife Authority i Blue Lagoon National Park General Management Plan APPROVAL PAGE Implementation of this General Management Plan for Blue Lagoon National Park has been approved by the Board of Directors of Zambia Wildlife Authority at its 47th meeting held on 31st August, 2004.

  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

    Despite being one of the most densely populated countries in Africa, Rwanda is a worthwhile and exciting birding destination, with Nyungwe National Park the undoubted star attraction. The largest montane forest in Africa, Nyungwe has more Albertine Rift endemic birds than any other site outside the Democratic Republic of Congo. On the other side of this small but vibrant country, Akagera National Park offers a wide diversity of savanna and wetland birds, including Shoebill and several species confined to the Lake Victoria Basin.

  • The Natural Choice for Wildlife Holidays Welcome
    HOLIDAYS WITH 100% FINANCIAL PROTECTION The natural choice for wildlife holidays Welcome After spending considerable time and effort reflecting, questioning what we do and how we do it, and scrutinising the processes within our office and the systems we use for support, I am delighted to say that we are imbued with a new vigour, undiminished enthusiasm, and greater optimism than ever. My own determination to continue building on the solid foundation of twenty years of experience in wildlife tourism, since we started from very humble beginnings – to offer what is simply the finest selection of high quality, good value, tailor-made wildlife holidays – remains undaunted, and is very much at the core of all we do. A physical move to high-tech office premises in the attractive city of Winchester leaves us much better connected to, and more closely integrated with, the outside world, and thus better able to receive visitors. Our team is leaner, tighter, more widely travelled and more knowledgeable than ever before, allowing us to focus on terrestrial, marine and – along with Dive Worldwide – submarine life without distraction. In planning this brochure we deliberately set out to whet the appetite, and make no mention of either dates or prices. As the vast majority of trips are tailored to our clients’ exact requirements – whether in terms of itinerary, duration, standard of accommodation or price – the itineraries herein serve merely as indications of what is possible. Thereafter, you can refine these suggestions in discussion with one of our experienced consultants to pin down your precise needs and wants, so we can together create the wildlife holiday of your dreams.

  • Observations of Mixed-Species Bird Flocks at Kichwa Tembo Camp, Kenya
    Observations of mixed-species bird flocks at Kichwa Tembo Camp, Kenya Alasdair I V Gordon and Nancy M Harrison Alasdair I V Gordon Anglia Ruskin University East Road Cambridge CB1 1PT UK e-mail: [email protected] Corresponding author and contact details: Nancy M Harrison Anglia Ruskin University East Road Cambridge CB1 1PT UK e-mail: [email protected] Telephone: 0845 196 2524 1 Abstract Mixed-species foraging flocks were studied at Kichwa Tembo Camp on the edge the Masia Mara National Reserve in Kenya between July and September 2004. Observations were made on 29 mixed-species flocks, in which 24 species participated. African Paradise Flycatcher Terpsiphone viridis , Black-backed Puffback Dryoscopus cubla , Grey-backed Cameroptera Camaroptera brachyura , Collard Sunbird Hedydipna collaris and Cabanis’s Greenbul Phyllastrephus cabanisi were the most common participants in mixed-species flocks, as well as among the most frequently encountered bird species overall. The Black-backed Puffback was identified as the nuclear species in flocks due to their abundance and frequency with which they were followed by other species. Mixed-species flocks represent another niche dimension in this diverse bird community, but few of these species could be described as flock specialists; most of the birds observed in mixed-species flocks in this study were opportunistic attendant species, including the African Pygmy Kingfisher Ispidina picta, not previously described as joining mixed-species flocks. 2 Introduction Mixed-species flocks of insectivorous birds are a conspicuous feature of tropical communities worldwide (Rand 1954, Moynihan 1960, Jones 1977, Powell 1979, Wiley 1980), important in structuring avian communities of African forests (Chapin 1932, Vernon 1980), but also evident in open woodland and savannah habitats (Greig- Smith 1978a, Thomson and Ferguson 2007).

Zimmer) This was the second January departure of our increasingly popular Uganda Highlights Tour, and it proved an unqualified success in delivering up-close-and-personal observations of wild Mountain Gorillas, wild Chimpanzees, and the bizarre Shoebill. Beyond these iconic creatures, we racked up over 430 species of birds and had fabulous encounters with Lion, Hippopotamus, African Elephant, Rothschild’s Giraffe, and an amazing total of 10 species of primates. The “Pearl of Africa” lived up to its advance billing as a premier destination for birding and primate viewing in every way, and although the bird-species composition and levels of song/breeding activity in this (normally) dry season are somewhat different from those encountered during our June visits, the overall species diversity of both birds and mammals encountered has proven remarkably similar. After a day at the Boma Hotel in Entebbe to recover from the international flights, we hit the ground running, with a next-morning excursion to the fabulous Mabamba wetlands. Victor Emanuel Nature Tours 2 Uganda Highlights, January 2020 Opportunistic roadside stops en route yielded such prizes as Great Blue Turaco, Lizard Buzzard, and Black-and-white-casqued Hornbill, but as we were approaching the wetlands, the dark cloud mass that had been threatening rain for the past hour finally delivered.

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.

  • Zambia Is Named After the Mighty Zambezi River
    Zambia is named after the mighty Zambezi River, which rises in the country’s north-west corner, flows into Angola before re-entering Zambia at the Cholwezi Rapids, and thereafter forms the southern border of the country with neighbouring Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. The Zambezi and its valleys are one defining aspect of this country; another is the southern end of the great African Rift system that cuts through the eastern and southern parts via several deep rifts along the course of the Luangwa River. Natural features also include the breathtaking Victoria Falls, Lake Tanganyika (the second deepest natural lake in the world) and the floodplains of Busanga, Barotseland, the Kafue Flats and the Bangweulu Swamps. Zambia is home to vast wilderness areas and abundant diversity hosted in some of the wildest and most remote game areas on the continent. Kafue National Park in central Zambia offers a heady mix of miombo woodlands and game-filled floodplains. Endemic subspecies of giraffe and wildebeest are found in the Luangwa Valley, where an impressive watercourse famously supports high densities of game. Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, a short distance from Victoria Falls, comprises mopane and teak woodlands with luxuriant riverine forest along the banks of the Zambezi River. Zambia’s biodiversity count includes 740 bird, over 200 mammal, 143 reptile and 57 amphibian species. With such enormous tracts of wilderness, Zambia is able to provide important refuge for vulnerable species from cheetah, lion and wild dog, right down to large-eared free-tailed bat and checkered elephant-shrew. Endemic subspecies of giraffe (Thornicroft’s) and wildebeest (Cookson’s) are found in the Luangwa Valley, along with good populations of lion; extensive herds of black lechwe inhabit the floodplains of the Bangweulu while Luangwa is renowned for one of the highest leopard densities in Africa.

McTernan May 2019 © 2019 Michael F. McTernan. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Conservation Potential of a Semi-Forested Agricultural Landscape: Diversity and Spatial Distribution of Birds within a Large-Scale Ugandan Coffee Farm by MICHAEL F. MCTERNAN has been approved for the Program of Environmental Studies and the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs by Nancy J. Stevens Professor of Biomedical Sciences Mark Weinberg Dean, Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs 3 ABSTRACT MCTERNAN, MICHAEL F., M.S., May 2019, Environmental Studies Conservation Potential of a Semi-Forested Agricultural Landscape: Diversity and Spatial Distribution of Birds within a Large-Scale Ugandan Coffee Farm Director of Thesis: Nancy J. Stevens Protected area conservation is not enough to stem increasing biodiversity loss. Therefore, it is important to consider private-owned lands when developing a long-term conservation strategy in a region. Agricultural lands, which cover more than 30 percent of the Earth’s terrestrial surface, are a good place to start. However, further research is needed to understand how species use the landscape, and what types of best practices should be encouraged to increase levels of biodiversity. This study was conducted on a 2500 ha semi-forested Ugandan Robusta coffee farm. The system is a hybrid of shade and full sun coffee production, with intense cultivation on production land and corridors of reserved indigenous forest.
