    University of Pretoria etd – Kammer A 2006 Department of Geography, Geoinformatics and Meteorology University of Pretoria Using Geographical Information Systems to investigate the Bushmeat Phenomenon in KwaZulu-Natal 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Definition For the purpose of this study, bushmeat can be viewed as all undomesticated animal products utilised for human consumption and use. This includes meat as well as other products such as ivory, skin, hooves and horns. The term encompasses products from terrestrial as well as aquatic species such as abalone. In the past numerous studies regarding the bushmeat phenomenon in central, western and eastern Africa have been conducted (Bailey & Groff, 2003; Summers, 2003; Barnett, 2000). Up to date, no known published studies have been concluded in the southern part of Africa. A priority exists for wildlife and nature organisations in South Africa to build an inventory on the existing situation regarding bushmeat in South and southern Africa. With the help of the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force (BCTF), based in the United States of America, an Information Management and Analysis Project (Bushmeat IMAP) is currently in its infant stages (http://www.bushmeat.org/IMAP/). The Bushmeat IMAP aims to improve information sharing and decision making related to addressing the bushmeat phenomenon by organizing published documents, unpublished reports, project descriptions, and newly gathered data from the field into a system of databases and GIS (Geographical Information System) resources, useful for prioritising conservation and development solutions. The Bushmeat IMAP survey instrument is designed to identify and assess areas across Sub- Saharan Africa with high numbers of threatened, endangered, or endemic species presently being subjected to unsustainable bushmeat hunting, in addition to identifying and assessing bushmeat markets.

    South Africa Eastern II 18th January to 1st February 2018 (15 days) Trip Report Drakensberg Rockjumper by Daniel Keith Danckwerts Tour Leaders: Daniel Keith Danckwerts and Rynart Bezuidenhout Trip report compiled by Daniel Keith Danckwerts Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to South Africa Trip Report – RBT South Africa - Eastern II 2019 2 Tour Summary Our two-week journey around eastern South Africa began in the bustling city of Johannesburg where, following a quick meet and greet, we enjoyed some birding in the gardens of our comfortable guesthouse. The highlight here was seeing small numbers of the endearing Red-headed Finch – a striking species that all desired to see. Other species on this, our first afternoon, included the Red-eyed and Laughing Doves, Speckled Pigeon, Red-faced and Speckled Mousebirds, the near-endemic Karoo Thrush, and dazzling Southern Red Bishops with males in full breeding plumage. After a scrumptious dinner, we returned to our rooms for an early evening, seeing the nocturnal Spotted Thick-knee en route. Early the following morning, we left Johannesburg and travelled north towards the remote Zaagkuildrift Road. This gravel road traverses a large area of thornveld and savannah, and is widely recognised as one of Red-collared Widowbird by Daniel Keith Danckwerts South Africa’s top birding destinations. We weren’t disappointed! Our list grew exponentially within minutes of arriving, as we notched up migratory Lesser Grey and Red-backed Shrikes, the striking long- tailed Magpie-Shrike, Black-winged Kite, and numerous displaying yet nondescript Zitting Cisticolas. Our breakfast stop delivered several other new species for the tour, including Western Cattle Egret, Red- billed Teal, Spur-winged Goose, Blacksmith Lapwing, Southern Boubou, White-throated Robin-Chat, Jameson’s Firefinch, Brown-hooded Kingfisher, and Burchell’s Starling.

    Encephalartos Woodii ELSA POOLEY Writes About the Mysterious Enigma Wood’S Cycad, a Plant That Is Extinct in the Wild

    Encephalartos woodii ELSA POOLEY writes about the mysterious enigma Wood’s cycad, a plant that is extinct in the wild. Wood’s cycad is one of the most magnificent and rare plants of this family of ancient plants. It has been extinct in the wild for nearly a century. Only one four-stemmed male plant was ever found. It was first collected by John Medley Wood, director of the Natal Government Herbarium and leading Natal botanist. He was on a botanical expedition in Zululand in 1895, and found it when exploring Ngoye Forest (now spelt Ongoye). In 1903 several suckers Encephalartos woodii growing in Durban Botanic Gardens. photograph © Richard Boon 60 INTERNATIONAL DENDROLOGY SOCIETY TREES were collected for the Durban Botanic Gardens and for the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and a private nurseryman in the south of England. (It was described in the Gardeners’ Chronicle in 1908.) In 1907 John Wylie, an assistant to Medley Wood and curator of the Durban Botanic Gardens, collected two of the large trunks and planted them in the Durban Botanic Garden. In 1916 the last surviving stem was removed and was planted in Pretoria. All efforts to locate more plants – and female plants – in the original location have failed. However, hundreds of offshoots have been grown and distributed around the world, so the plant is known outside of South Africa. This is a distinctive species. The original plants stand about 6m tall, with a stately, erect stem which is broad and buttressed at the base. This buttressed stem, and the spreading canopy of arching leaves, even in juvenile plants, distinguishes the species.

These include the declaration of “Bioregions” and the publication of “Bioregional Plans”. Bioregional plans are usually an output of a systematic spatial conservation assessment of a region. They identify areas of conservation priority, and constraints and opportunities for implementation of the plan. The precursor to a Bioregional Plan is a Biodiversity Sector Plan (BSP), which is the official reference for biodiversity priorities to be taken into account in land-use planning and decision-making by all sectors within the District Municipality. The overall aim is to avoid the loss of natural habitat in Critical Biodiversity Areas (CBAs) and prevent the degradation of Ecological Support Areas (ESAs), while encouraging sustainable development in Other Natural Areas.
