  • A National Park in Northern Rhodesia 15
    A National Park in Northern Rhodesia 15 A NATIONAL PARK IN NORTHERN RHODESIA By a Proclamation dated 20th April, 1950, the Governor of Northern Rhodesia has established a National Park, to be known as the Kafue National Park. This new park covers some 8,650 square miles roughly in the central Kafue basin, between latitudes 14° and 16° 40' S. It contains a wide range of country from the comparatively drv sandy lands of the south to the big rivers, swamps, and heavy timber of the northern section. The magnificent Kafue River dominates the whole central portion, adding scenic beauty to the attraction of wild life. The park contains representatives of most species of the fauna of Northern Rhodesia. Primates are represented by the Rhodesian Baboon, the Vervet Monkey, and the Greater and Lesser Night-Apes. There are Elephant and Black Rhinoceros, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, and numbers of the smaller carnivora. Antelope include Eland, Sable, Roan, Liehtenstein's Hartebeest, Blue Wildebeest, Kudu, Defassa Waterbuck, Bushbuck, Reedbuck, Puku, Impala, Oribi, Common, Blue, and Yellow-backed Duikers, Klipspringer, and Sharpe's Stein- buck. There are Red Lechwe and Sitatunga in the Busango Swamp in the north, Hippopotamus in numbers in the Kafue and its larger tributaries. Zebra are common, Warthog and Bushpig everywhere. Birds are abundant. The park is uninhabited apart from certain small settle- ments, on a limited section of the Kafue River, belonging to the indigenous Africans under their tribal chief Kayingu. These people must be accorded their traditional local hunting rights, but such will affect only a small fraction of the whole vast wild area.

  • The Effect of Species Associations on the Diversity and Coexistence of African Ungulates
    The effect of species associations on the diversity and coexistence of African ungulates. By Nancy Barker For Professor Kolasa BIO306H1 – Tropical Ecology University of Toronto Wednesday, August 24th, 2005 Abstract: The effects of species associations on species diversity and coexistence were investigated in East Africa. The frequency and group sizes of African ungulates were observed and analyzed to determine for differences in species associations based on their density and distribution, as well as their associations with other species. Associations between species were determined to be nonrandom and seen to affect the demographics of associating herds. Such associations mirrored in other studies were shown to be the result of interspecific competition, habitat preferences and predation pressure which increases the potential for coexistence between species. This suggests a potentially important role in the regulation of species diversity by ecological dynamics in species rich communities. In the face of today’s biodiversity crisis, such understanding of species associations and how they are regulated may have huge implications for conservation.

Nature Conservation 37: 151–160.https://doi. org/10.3897/natureconservation.37.37590 Abstract Hunting and related bushmeat trade are activities which negatively impact wildlife worldwide, with serious implications for biodiversity conservation. Angola’s fauna was severely decimated during the long-lasting civil war following the country’s independence. During a round trip from Lubango (Huíla province), pass- ing through the provinces of Benguela, Cuanza sul, Luanda, Bengo and finally to Uíge, we documented a variety of bushmeat trade, mainly along the roadside.

  • Monitoring the Recovery of Wildlife in the Parque Nacional Da Gorongosa Through Aerial Surveys 2000
    Monitoring the recovery of wildlife in the Parque Nacional da Gorongosa through aerial surveys 2000 - 2012 A preliminary analysis Dr Marc Stalmans July 2012 Summary • A total of 7 aerial wildlife surveys have been undertaken from 2000 to 2012 in the Gorongosa National Park. These have been sampling surveys covering 9 to 22% of the Park. • The data of these 6 helicopter and 1 fixed-wing (2004) survey have not yet been fully analysed. The data were combined in a single data base of 15 083 individual species occurrence records. These data were also incorporated in a Geographic Information System. • The results clearly indicate that there has been since 2000 a significant increase in wildlife numbers for most species. The vast majority of the wildlife is found in the central and southern part of the fertile Rift Valley. However, densities are much lower in the infertile miombo in the east and west as well as in the Rift Valley closer to human habitation. Where higher levels of protection from illegal hunting are maintained, such as in the Sanctuario, higher densities of wildlife are now recorded even though the recovery started from similar low levels as in other parts of the Park. • The current sampling design has significant shortcomings that make the estimate of overall population numbers problematic, especially for species with relatively low numbers and a clumped distribution (e.g. buffalo and elephant). This makes it difficult to evaluate the current populations against historical wildlife numbers. • The current design is not considered good enough for the quality of data required for ecological research and for the auditing of management performance.
