  • Waterberg Biosphere Reserve 2001 - 2012
    WATERBERG BIOSPHERE RESERVE 2001 - 2012 APPLICATION FOR EXPANSION OF RESERVE TO UNESCO MAB COMMISSION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY September 2012 1 INTRODUCTION Some years ago renowned conservationist Clive Walker predicted that the Waterberg would yet emerge as one of the most important and significant conservation areas in South Africa. With a great potential for tourism, game ranching, hunting and environmental awareness, together with the richness and abundance of biodiversity in both plant and animal life, the Waterberg is an incredibly important area for conservation in the South African context. Recent conservation plans at both the provincial and national levels recognise the importance of the Waterberg Mountain Complex ecosystem and with this support the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve’s next step to ensure good governance of the area is to expand the current biosphere to include all of the Waterberg Mountain Complex to provide ecosystem and land use planning integrity. A biosphere reserve is a designated area of importance that falls outside the confined protected areas network such as provincial game reserves and national parks. It is also an area where people live and work. The area can include villages, towns, farming and agriculture, tourism, hunting, businesses and services. The main aim of the biosphere reserve is to ensure that while people utilise the area for their livelihoods and produce a strong economy, negative impacts on the environment and the area‟s reputation as a tourism destination are kept to a minimum and ecosystems remain intact and in good health. There are specific criteria that an area must have to qualify for biosphere reserve status.

  • Resource Partitioning Between Black-Backed Jackal and Brown Hyaena in Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, South Africa
    Ramnanan et al. Jackal and hyaena in South Africa Copyright © 2016 by the IUCN/SSC Canid Specialist Group. ISSN 1478-2677 Research report Resource partitioning between black-backed jackal and brown hyaena in Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, South Africa Rivona Ramnanan1, Michelle Thorn1, Craig J. Tambling2 and Michael J. Somers 1, 3* 1 Centre for Wildlife Management, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa. 2 Centre for African Conservation Ecology, Department of Zoology, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, Port Elizabeth, 6031, South Africa. 3 Centre for Invasion Biology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa. Email: [email protected] * Correspondence author Keywords: apex predators, dietary niche, human modification, resource partitioning. Abstract Understanding resource partitioning by predators is important for understanding coexistence patterns, with this becoming more relevant as historical food webs are altered through human impacts. Using scat analysis, we investigated the diet overlap of two sympatric meso-carnviores, the black-backed jackal Canis mesomelas and brown hyaena Hyaena brunnea, in Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, South Africa. Scats (n = 30 jackal, 42 brown hyaena) were collected in April 2012 from game and livestock farms. When comparing main prey categories (medium-large mam- mal, small mammal, fruit, invertebrate, reptile, and bird) we found little difference in diets, with both carnivores con- suming predominantly medium-large mammals (10-100kg). Bushbuck Tragelaphus scriptus was the most commonly consumed large mammal species for both predators. Jackal and brown hyaena had, on average, 1.3 and 1.4 main prey categories per scat respectively which resulted in diet diversities of 3.9 for jackal and 2.5 for brown hyaena.

  • And Fine Arts Degree, Fabiola Ubani Has Been Combining Her Teaching At
    FABIOLA UBANI Born in Pamplona, (Navarra) and Fine Arts degree, Fabiola Ubani has been combining her teaching at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with an intense artistic production along a trajectory of more than twenty years. Interested in the engraving as a form of expression, from the beginning she discovers the possibilities offered by the hybridization of the processes of this traditional technique with those existing in other fields also related with the multiple reproduction of the image. This leads her to incorporate in her work the techniques used in the origins of photography (gum bichromate, cyanotype), the use of the laboratory for the generation of plates from lith film, electrography as an image transfer tool and, as logical consequence of this evolution, the exploration of the digital image as a resource in the attainment of visual textures and, ultimately, language of expression in itself. Bringing together his academic and artistic facets, in 2016 she formulated her doctoral PhD under the title "Graphic art and technology (a private relationship)", in which, following an analysis of her work, she stresses the fluid relationship that has always existed between engraving and photography and delves into the concept of what in the field of visual arts has come to be called "digital matrix".

  • Unidos Alcanzaremos Un Vieques Libre: Discourse As a Reflection Of
    UNIDOS ALCANZAREMOS UN VIEQUES LIBRE: DISCOURSE AS A REFLECTION OF SOCIAL AND GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION by REBECCAH ANNE SANDERS (Under the Direction of Elois Ann Berlin) ABSTRACT The sixty-year history of United States Naval activity on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico has been plagued with protests by island residents who have varyingly applied environmental and social justice discourse in their movement to evict the Navy. The most current inception of demonstrations spans a wide geographic range, centering on the island itself and radiating to cities throughout the continental United States. As the island prepares for a referendum determining the fate of the Navy’s presence, the social and political influence of these campaigns has risen dramatically. The movement has gained political and popular support with its dedication to civil disobedience and its rhetoric of health, the environment, human rights, and, more controversially, political determination. This thesis considers how the discourse of the movement reflects the location of its supporters.

  • Fechas Relevantes En La Historia Del Valle De Egüés
    Fechas relevantes en la historia del Valle de Egüés 1500 a.C. De esta época es datable el hacha pulimentada y de forma trapezoidal encontrada en Elcano. Esto nos permite decir que, al menos desde esta época, estaba habitado el Valle de Egüés por asentamientos de los primitivos vascones. Sus primeros pobladores probablemente se establecieran allí mucho antes, durante la edad de piedra. 75 a.C. El general romano Pompeio establece su campamento en la actual Pamplona profundizando la romanización de los habitantes de la cuenca entre los que se encuentran los pobladores de Egüés. Las relaciones serían amistosas y de mutua colaboración y enriquecimiento. Se han encontrado algunos restos cerámicos y metálicos en Sarriguren. 1032. Sancho III “el mayor” restituye a la catedral de Pamplona todos sus bienes entre los que hay algunos del Valle de Egüés. Especialmente significativa es la mención a la cesión por parte del monarca de parte del uso del molino conocido como Atea (Huarte) a la catedral pamplonesa. Nos da la idea de la importancia económica del Valle de Egüés como centro de producción agrícola para la monarquía navarra. Probablemente desde los inicios de su expansión (siglos VII a IX) esta dinastía ya se apoyó en el valle de Egüés para levantar su poderío económico, que es lo que intentaban hacer con la sede episcopal de Pamplona en el momento de la cesión de tierras y derechos que consta en el documento del que hablamos. Siglo XII. Es el siglo en el que realizando un esfuerzo económico sin precedentes el valle lleva a cabo la construcción de las 17 grandes edificaciones religiosas románicas que aún hoy conserva.

Te Center for Basque Studies and UNR are proud to make this important series available to an English-language readership. 3 Facing the Challenges of Global Change Development Cooperation: Development cooperation, a concept that has existed for more than ffy years, EDITED BY has been transformed drastically in recent years. With the end of the Cold Koldo Unceta and War in the late 1980s, so-called developing countries ceased to be potential Amaia Arrinda pawns in global political dynamics and gradually became the focus of greater moral concerns. As such, pro-development policies demanded a more ethically grounded political strategy, a challenge that governments and international bodies did not know how to, or did not want to, react to. Tis problem was compounded further by the impact of globalization, with its concomitant increase in the interdependence of a range of global economic, political, social, ecological, and cultural processes.
