Country: Cabo Verde PROJECT DOCUMENT 1 Country: Cabo Verde PROJECT DOCUMENT 1 Project Title: Mainstreaming biodiversity conservation into the tourism sector in synergy with a further strengthened protected areas system in Cabo Verde UNADF Outcome(s): Outcome 4.2. Public institutions and private partners adopt a holistic approach to conservation and protection of critical habitats and biodiversity and use the natural resources on a sustainable manner for an inclusive and sustainable growth. UNDP Strategic Plan - Integrated Results and Resources Framework: Output 2.5 Legal and regulatory frameworks, policies and institutions enabled to ensure the conservation, sustainable use, and access and benefit sharing of natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystems, in line with international conventions and national legislation Indicator 2.5.1 Number of countries with legal, policy and institutional frameworks in place for conservation, sustainable use, and access and benefit sharing of natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystems. a) Legal frameworks b) Policy frameworks c) Institutional frameworks Expected CP Outcome(s): UNDAF OUTCOMEs #4: Institutions reinforce environmental governance and integrate principles of environmental sustainability, climate change and disaster relief reduction; public and private institutions adopt a holistic approach to conservation and protection of critical habitats and biodiversity. Expected CPAP Output (s): Output 4.2.1. The national institutions have their capacities improved to conceive and implement strategies and action plans for natural resources preservation, biodiversity, critical ecosystems and habitat restoration. Executing Entity/Implementing Partner: Ministry of Environment, Housing and Land Planning (MAHOT) in collaboration with Ministry of Tourism, Investment and Business Development (MTIDE) 1 For UNDP supported GEF funded projects as this includes GEF-specific requirements UNDP Environmental Finance Services Page 1 Brief Description. Cabo Verde has set ambitious targets for the expansion of its tourism industry. The achievement of these targets relies on long term competitiveness, which for a significant proportion of the tourism on offer depends on good environmental quality standards and the effective conservation of the country’s landscape and biodiversity assets. This project will support ‘mainstreaming’ biodiversity considerations into the tourism sector, while strengthening the conservation of Cabo Verde’s important biodiversity by operationalising a critical new subset of Protected Areas (PAs). These are located in four priority islands – Santiago, Sal, Boa Vista and Maio – where immediate pressure is greatest and urgent action is required that can be replicated more widely in the future. Under Component 1 the project will develop and put into place coherent and effective enabling frameworks (i.e. legal, policy, regulatory and institutional) for enhanced multi-sectoral strategic land-use planning at the landscape level, focusing on the tourism and associated real estate/construction sectors. The project will support the development of new national standards on sustainable tourism and the uptake of international certification systems that are aligned with Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria while promoting destination-based sustainable tourism standards and their operationalisation. It will also help define economic/fiscal and other incentives and penalties to advance the adherence of private sector and local community businesses to best-practice standards and related certification systems. Under Component 2, the project will spearhead the operationalization of 8 PAs based on the development of management and ecotourism plans and associated regulations. The identification of new potential MPA sites for inclusion in the national PA system will also be supported, as well as the definition and piloting of co-management and conflict resolution mechanisms. Cost-effective PA revenue generation mechanisms will be developed and tested in conjunction with tourism sector stakeholders. An environmental monitoring program to track the impacts of tourism and fisheries in PAs will be installed and Information Education and Communication (IEC) campaigns implemented to promote the role of PAs and sustainable tourism in Cabo Verde.

Barone* & G. Delgado** *C/. Eduardo Zamacois, 13-3°A, E-38005 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Islas Canarias **Museo de la Naturaleza y el Hombre (Ciencias Naturales). Apartado. 853, E-38003 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, islas Canarias ABSTRACT Recent data on the breeding birds of the islands of Sal and Boavista (Cape Verde Islands), obtained between 30 September - 14 October, 1998, are presented. The nesting of the Red-billed Tropicbird (Phaethon aethe reus) on Boavista is confirmed, and the first registers of the Barn Owl {Tyto alba ssp.) for this island are included here. On the other hand, we could detect species found only 2-3 times on Boavista, as the Black Kite (Milvus migrans) and the Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla). In the case of this last species, our data indi- cate that it must be a breeding species on this island. At the same time, several aspects of the avifauna of both islands are analysed: faunistic, habitats, breeding phenology and impor- tant areas for conservation. Key words: Breeding birds, Sal, Boavista, Cape Verde Islands, new records, faunistic, habitats, breeding phenology, conservation. RESUMEN Se presentan datos recientes sobre la avifauna nidificante en las islas de Sal y Boavista (archipielago de Cabo Verde), obtenidos entre el 30 de septiembre y el 14 de octubre de 1998. Destaca la confirmacion de la nidificacion del Rabijunco Etereo {Phaethon aethereus) en Boavista, asi como los primeros registros de Lechuza Comun (Tyto alba ssp.) para esta isla.

Hazevoet Stefan Fischer & Gérard Deloison Summary Several bird observations, supplementary to the recently published review of the avifauna of the Cape Verde Islands (Hazevoet 1995), were made during visits to the islands in 1995. Three species new to the archipelago were observed, viz. Phalaropus lobatus, Gelochelidon niloticaand Sterna maxima. Also reported here are extensions in time and space of both residents and migrant visitors. These include summer records of several species of waders, herons and Platalealeucorodia, and range extensions of resident breeding species, e.g. the first records of Alaemon alaudipes from the island of Sal.

  • Tracers of Uplift and Subsidence in the Cape Verde Archipelago
    Tracers of uplift and subsidence in the Cape Verde Archipelago electronic supplement Ramalho*, R.; Helffrich, G.; Schmidt, D.; Vance, D. Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Wills Memorial Building Bristol, BS8 1RJ, UK *Corresponding author: [email protected]. 1 Introduction This an electronic supplement of the paper ”Tracers of uplift and subsidence in the Cape Verde Archipelago”. The objective of this supplement is to provide more detailed information on the volcanostratigraphy of some of the Cape Verde islands mentioned in the main text, and a detailed description of key palaeo-markers of relative sea-level height used to track the history of vertical movements affecting those islands. 2 Palaeo-markers of sea-level in the Cape Verde islands 2.1 Sal Sal’s volcanostratigraphy comprises (Silva et al. 1990; Torres et al. 2002a): Ancient Eruptive Complex; Principal Eruptive Formation; Ponta do Altar-Baleia Complex; Conglomerate Brec- 1 cia; Ribeira da Fragata Formation; Serra Negra Eruptive Formation; Monte Grande-Pedra Lume Formation; and Quaternary Sediments (see Figure S1, and Table 1 in the main text). 2.1.1 The Ancient Eruptive Complex The Ancient Eruptive Complex constitutes the basement unit and is profoundly eroded and weathered. It occurs mainly in the central part of the island where it reaches the maximum elevation of ∼ 60 m asl. Silva et al. (1990) and Torres et al. (2002b) describe the Ancient Eruptive Complex as a complex sequence of formations mostly comprising hydrovolcanic prod- ucts of effusive and explosive nature. The whole unit is intensively intruded by dykes - up to 95% of the outcropping area - and small plutonic bodies, a condition that in conjunction with the advanced state of weathering exhibited by its products is an obstacle for solid event reconstructions.
