  • The Taiwanese Connection—A New Peril for Rhinos Esmond Bradley Martin and Chryssee Bradley Martin
    The Taiwanese connection—a new peril for rhinos Esmond Bradley Martin and Chryssee Bradley Martin In 1985 Taiwan responded to widespread concern about its role in the international rhinoceros trade by banning imports and exports of all rhinoceros products. It is disheartening and alarming that, three years later, the trade still thrives and little has been done to enforce the new law. The authors describe the situation in Taiwan, discuss the implications for the world's last rhinoceros populations and recommend what action should be taken. Today there is probably more rhinoceros horn the President of the Society for Wildlife and for sale in Taiwan (the Republic of China) than Nature. He also had meetings with two other anywhere else. Moreover, during the last three Ministers, Department Heads and senior offi- years the country has become what may well be cials.

Even though trade in rhino horn and hide were proposed. imports and exports are illegal, the trade thrives, During that December 1985 visit, a survey of the with Taiwanese businessmen purchasing large main wholesalers and traditional medicine shops quantities of horn from South Africa, Malaysia, in Taipei, Kaohsiung and Tainan revealed hun- Hong Kong and Thailand, which they smuggle dreds of kilogrammes of rhino horn for sale.

  • 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.

  • Expedition 2020 Report Expedition Route
    Strandloper Project : Expedition 2020 Report Expedition Route. Expedition 2020 was staged in two sections; the first 12 days hiking the shoreline from Nature’s Valley to Wilderness between the 1st and 13th October followed by four days hiking the Otter Trail from the 24th to the 27th October. The total distance of coastline hiked was 205km along a mix of rocky and sandy shoreline. Where the terrain along the coastline permitted, we surveyed for washed up plastic pollution and fishing debris along the route. The Dirty Half Dozen For the 2020 expedition, the core research team had the addition of Pam Booth to replace Dr Louw Claassens who accepted a marine research post in Palau. From left to right, the research team with their acquired nicknames were : • Lisa Leslie - Limpet • Mark Dixon – Mussels • Amanda Dixon – Angel Fish • Pam Booth – Clever Clam • Chris Leggatt - Calamari • Melinda Morkel - Lara Croft The success of the expedition was deeply rooted in the unified passion for marine conservation by each member, and the concern of the threat that plastic pollution and fishing debris has on ocean health and marine biodiversity. Accompanying the research team on various stages of the expedition were Kei Heyns (manager of the Robberg Coastal Corridor), Keith Spenser (Cape Nature Catchment Area Manager) and Wayne Meyer (Cape Naturemarine ranger at Goukamma) and Mandie Janse van Rensberg (honorary member). pg. 1 Strandloper Project Expedition 2020 Report Data Capture All our data is captured electronically using Cybertracker, an information capture platform that records a geo reference for each dataset.
