PR01R,22 R,P0RT 2 8 I. INTRODUCTI0N This report covers activities for the period from Danuary 1 to December ,12 2008 for the USAID MIARO Program under the GMaintaining .iological Integrity ofCritical .iodiversity -abitats2H Aeader Award No. AA04A400499400046400. This is the main program through which Conservation International2 WWF and the WildlifeConservation Society provide coordinated technical support to the creation and effectivemanagement ofthe Madagascar Protected Area System ISAPM). In 200,2 the Ministry responsible for nvironment and Forests began a massive effort to e8pand its protected area system to coverappro8imately 10% ofthe country7s surface. Since that time enormous progress has been made in turning that vision into a reality. In December 20082 most ofthese new protected areas have been identified and are actively being created by a wide variety ofcivil society partners. This achievement has already been an enormous task that has required unparalleled collaboration among diverse organizations from government ministries2 conservation N0Os and rural development partners all the way down to the communities living around the new protected areas. A new protected area system ISAPM) has been designed2 datasets on biodiversity distribution havebeen compiled and analyzedto identifythe most important sites to protect2 the concept ofprotected areas in Madagascar has been redefined to allow for more flexible management options and new governance arrangements2 new models for engaging communities in conservation havebeen conceivedand tested2 new tools for improving management effectiveness and monitoring havebeen developed and adopted2 and new financial resources havebeen found and putto workto conserveMadagascar7s uniquenatural heritage. The conservation community in Madagascar is currently engaged in the largest taskit has everfaced. In the field2 the promoters ofthe new protected areas are in the process ofdetailed negotiations with stakeholders to agree on the path ofover 102000kilometers ofprotected area limits2 access and resource use rights and zoning. They are identifying the rural development needs ofthe country’s most marginalized communities and establishing the foundation for good governance starting with sound natural resource management. At the policy level there is still workto do to provide a legal framework that supports and reflects the policies for protected areas that haveemerged from the past several years ofdebate. Defining the final priority sites to include within the SAPM is also essential. As the most obvious biodiversity-rich areas are protected2 the choice ofthe final sites to include in the protected area system to ensure that it conserves the full representation ofMadagascar7s biodiversity will become more difficult. As the SAPM becomes a reality, new actors are getting involved in conservation and their capacity needs to be built up. Similarly, new finance is needed to pay for the e8panded system and the government and conservation organizations need to leverage money from previously untapped sources. The current challenges for SAPM haveensured that the year 2008has been a busy, but very productive,period for the MIARO program. During 20082 several new guides and management tools were developed for the SAPM2 namely

  • ALLINACE for ZERO EXTINCTION MADAGASCAR: Mainstreaming Strategy
    ALLINACE FOR ZERO EXTINCTION MADAGASCAR: Mainstreaming Strategy Background Initiated in 2005 by conservation organizations, AZE is an initiative at the global level now totaling more than 98 members and aimed at identifying and protecting sites that are the only ones where some endangered species can be found. The conservation of these irreplaceable sites requires the adoption of policies whose objectives are to integrate the conservation of AZE sites into national conservation strategies aligned with the objectives of the CBD, as well as the policies of the international financial institutions. In 2010, at the global level, 587 sites had been identified in relation to 920 species considered, including 21 sites for 28 species in Madagascar. From the end of 2015 until 2018, Birdlife International and its partners have implemented a GEF / UNEP project titled "AZE - Conserving Earth's Most Irreplaceable Sites for Endangered Biodiversity". The objective of the project is to prevent extinction of species at priority sites identified through AZE. This includes two components: the first is aimed at creating and improving the effectiveness of demonstration site management in Brazil, Chile and Madagascar. The second component focuses on two outcomes. First, the conservation of endangered species and the protection of AZE sites are integrated into the safeguarding policies of major international financial institutions. Second, the conservation of AZE sites is integrated into national biodiversity strategies and action plans, protected area work program action plans and other national conservation plans in support of the goals. of the CBD. Several workshops followed one another. Thus, a project development workshop was held in 2014 and an introductory workshop in 2016.

Box 13147, Western Australia Humewood 6010 Port Elizabeth 6013 South Africa January 2013 Faunal Baseline Assessment – January 2013 This Report should be cited as follows: Branch, W.R., January 2013, Toliara Sands Project - Faunal Baseline Assessment (Update of 2007 Report), prepared for Coastal and Environmental Services, Grahamstown. Coastal & Environmental Services i Ranobe Mine Project Faunal Baseline Assessment – January 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Project Background World Titanium Resources Ltd (WTR) proposed Mine Site plans to mine the Ranobe mineral sand deposit for the heavy minerals ilmenite, rutile and zircon. These minerals will be extracted with dry mining operation. This report: 1. Comment on current trends and changes in faunal biodiversity, by reviewing available literature to update the 2007 report. 2. Specifically assesses the impacts of the revised project including the haul road options, the pipeline options and the jetty, on local fauna. METHODOLOGY No fieldwork was involved and Branch (2007) forms the primary data for this review, upgraded by reference to subsequent published literature and to online sources to produce a stand-alone report. Species of Special Concern (SSC) included sensitive species (e.g. endemic), threatened species (listed in the IUCN Red Lists), and species in International Trade (CITES). This updated assessment is based only on published data. Potential threats associated with the current land use as well as the direct impacts from mining and product transport and the MSP location have been assessed.
