  • Terrestrial Fauna Impact Assessment
    July 2014 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR SASOL PSA AND LPG PROJECT TERRESTRIAL FAUNA IMPACT ASSESSMENT Specialist Report 10 OOD OF MARK WOOD CONSULTANTS SSOCIADOS MOZAMBIQUE LDA PREPARED BY Author: AR Deacon Submitted to: EIA CONDUCTED BY GOLDER A WITH EIA LEADERSHIP BY MARK W SASOL Petroleum Mozambique Limitada & Sasol Petroleum Temane Limitada Report Number: 1302793 - 10712 - 20 (Eng) TERRESTRIAL FAUNA NON TECHNICAL SUMMARY Introduction Sasol Petroleum Mozambique (SPM) and Sasol Petroleum Temane (SPT) are proposing to develop the PSA Development and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Project, situated near Inhassoro in the Inhambane Province of Mozambique. The project is an expansion of the existing Sasol Natural Gas Project in this area. Proposed new infrastructure includes 19 wells (oil and gas), associated flowlines and a new Manifold Station (8.8 ha), from which the oil flowlines will be combined into a single pipeline routed to the new Integrated PSA Liquids and LPG Plant (9.5 ha), constructed adjacent to the Central Processing Facility (CPF). This Study This study presents the findings of an assessment of the impact of the project on Terrestrial Fauna. It is one of a series of studies prepared for the Environmental Impact Assessment for the project. The study takes into account Mozambique laws and regulations, regional conventions and protocols and importantly, the Performance Standards of the International Finance Corporation, in particular Performance Standard 6, Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources, as the underpinning of the assessment and the recommendations made in the report. Methodology The survey made use of habitat availability in the different vegetation types, while the presence of observed species was used as an indicator of habitat integrity.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contacts: Jennifer Zacharias, JZPR (805) 886-9078 or [email protected] SANTA BARBARA ZOO’S GIRAFFE & AMUR LEOPARD PREPARE TO DEPART AS PART OF CRITICAL SPECIES SURVIVAL PLAN Zoo will also welcome new Amur leopard and baby giraffes this spring (March 6, 2020) Santa Barbara, CA - T he Santa Barbara Zoo will soon bid farewell to Amirah, their almost two-year-old female Masai giraffe, and Wyatt, their seven-year-old male Amur leopard, as part of their ongoing work to support two of the A ssociation of Zoos and Aquariums ’s (AZA) Species Survival Plans. The Species Survival Plan (SSP) was developed in 1981 by the AZA to help ensure the survival of selected species in zoos and aquariums, many of which are threatened or endangered in the wild. Amirah, born at the Santa Barbara Zoo on March 14, 2018 to Audrey and Michael, will depart on March 10, 2020 (just shy of her second birthday) for the Sacramento Zoo . Giraffes typically become independent of their mothers around two years old and become mature enough to breed at three or four years old. "Over the last few months as we’ve prepared for her departure, we’ve really noticed her personality come alive, and she has become more independent and brave, trying new things without her mom nearby,” shared Cassie Moews, Senior Keeper. While she is still too young to breed right now, Amirah will have a breeding recommendation in the future. Amirah’s father Michael is the most genetically valuable Masai giraffe in the AZA North America population.
