The BIOFUND Virtual Library is an online archive of information on Mozambique’s biodiversity, organized along the lines suggested by the Convention on Biodiversity’s Clearing House Mechanism. The Virtual Library will strive to make available all the documents, studies, reports, articles, educational and communications materials, maps and digital files that have been produced, to serve as a repository of our collective institutional memory as a conservation community.
The usefulness of the Virtual Library will improve the more we share amongst ourselves. If you have any materials that are not currently part of the Virtual Library, please click on "Add Document" and become a contributor.

Fires occur in a widespread manner in various types of vegetation cover at national level, and are often associated with human hunting, grazing and above all the practice of itinerant agriculture. With the purpose to propose the map of frequency of fire, remote sensing data was collected from 2014 to 2018, using the Moderate Resolution Image Spectroradiometer (MODIS) of the burned area (MCD64A1), which allowed the construction of the map of frequency and intensity of fires, associated with data collected in 59 plots on field. It was observed that the Gilé National Park (PNAG) records an average fire frequency of 0.38 times/year and the return interval of 5.38 years, and an average fire return interval of 2.62 years.

Conservation Trust Funds and the Private Sector: Emerging Approaches to Conservation Finance
Charlotte Siuring e Amilcar Guzmán Valladares
2021
The current report presents the results of a qualitative research project on financial partnerships1 between Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs) and private sector actors. Its general aim was to contribute to the general knowledge development on CTFs for the Network of Latin American and Caribbean Environmental Funds (RedLAC), the Consortium of African Funds for the Environment (CAFÉ), interested CTFs, and conservation finance practitioners such as Wolfs Company’s consultants.

The study allows to determine the threat level which species and ecosystems are therefore subject to being a criticism indicator of the state of biodiversity, allowing authorities to direct conservation efforts for species and ecosystems that are priority. Red lists are used around the world for inform government policies and actions, international and private agencies sector. They are regularly updated in a global level and can also be applied in regional and national levels.

SOME BIRDS SEEN ON BAZARUTO ISLAND

1950
In June, 1950, three weeks were spent on Bazaruto Island situated in the Mozambique Channel at latitude 22' south, and longitude 35° east. As the crow flies, Bazaruto is about 15 miles from Vilanculos on the Portuguese East African coast, and is approximately 30 miles long with a maximum width of 8 miles. icularly attractive to waders. A large tidal rise and fall provides miles of mud flats on which all kinds of waders feed in hundreds. The list submitted is incomplete, as the time spent on the island (22 days) allowed little time for detailed study. The nomenclature follows Roberts (Birds of South Africa, 1946)

Rapid Visual Assessment of Fish Communities on Selected Reefs in the Bazaruto Archipelago

2007
Rapid visual censuses were conducted of fish on eight coral reefs in the Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique, in 2007. SCUBA and snorkelling were used for the censuses in depths between 1-20 m, yielding an inventory of 249 fish species belonging to 50 families. This is intended to serve as a baseline for more detailed studies and monitoring programmes in the future. Although fewer species were recorded relative to other studies conducted in the Western Indian Ocean, the trophic structure on Bazaruto’s reefs proved typical for the region, indicating a relative measure of reef health. However, other regional studies were not directly comparable, differing in habitat, duration of sampling effort and methodology. This highlighted the need for a l

Two heterobranch species, Stylocheilus striatus (Quoy & Gaimard, 1825) (Anaspidea, Aplysiidae) and leurobranchus forskalii Rüppel & Leuckart, 1828 (Nudipleura, Pleurobranchidae) are reported for the first time for Bazaruto Island, Mozambique. Swarming behavior of Stylocheilus striatus, which was previously described for other localities, was also observed for the first time in the Bazaruto Archipelago. The sea slugs were photographed in situ and identified in sync with their species descriptions, photographic databases and the current literature.

Humpback whales within the southwestern Indian Ocean undertake annual migrations from summer antarctic/Southern Ocean feeding grounds to winter breeding grounds in the tropical and sub-tropical coastal waters of Mozambique, Madagascar and the central Mozambique Channel Islands. Little is known of the inter-relationship of humpback whales on each of these wintering grounds, or the inter-relationship of these wintering grounds with the summer Antarctic feeding grounds. A line-transect survey of cetacean species was carried out in Mozambique coastal waters between Cabo Inhaca (26°00’S, 33°05’E) and just north of Mozambique Island (14°26’S, 40°53’E) and between the 20 and 200m isobaths, over the period 26 August to 7 September 2003.

Illegal Wildlife Trade and Financial Investigations in West Africa
Alexandria Reid and Mark Williams
2021
IN THE LAST five years, West Africa has emerged as a major source and transit hub in the global illegal wildlife trade (IWT).1 The industrial scale of the multi-tonne, multi-product seizures originating from West Africa clearly demonstrates that profit-driven organised crime groups are running the trade. Yet, while the significance of the region in global IWT flows is increasingly recognised, very little is known about the financial aspects of these criminal operations.

Most authors recognize six baboon species: hamadryas (Papio hamadryas), Guinea (Papio papio), olive (Papio anubis), yellow (Papio cynocephalus), chacma (Papio ursinus), and Kinda (Papio kindae). However, there is still debate regarding the taxonomic status, phylogenetic relationships, and the amount of gene flow occurring between species. Here, we present ongoing research on baboon morphological diversity in Gorongosa National Park (GNP), located in central Mozambique, south of the Zambezi River, at the southern end of the East African Rift System. The park exhibits outstanding ecological diversity and hosts more than 200 baboon troops. Gorongosa National Park baboons have previously been classified as chacma baboons (P. ursinus). In ...

An assessment of trade, mortalities and anthropogenic threats facing lions in Tanzania and Mozambique
Mole, K. H., Newton, D. TRAFFIC

In recent years, several studies have highlighted concerns about an emerging and increasing trade in African Lion parts and derivatives both domestically within African countries, and internationally to Asian markets. However, the extent and impact of this trade on lion populations in Africa remains undocumented across most of their range. African Lion numbers are in decline primarily due to anthropogenic influences such as retaliatory killing by humans, depletion of their prey-base due to the bushmeat trade, habitat loss and conversion, and poorly regulated trophy hunting. Understanding the additional impact of trade on wild lion populations is critical for current and future conservation of the species. In this study..

Evaluating the Effect of Non-Timber Forest Products on Rural Livelihoods in Macula-Marrupa Corridor Niassa Special Reserve, Mozambique: Implication for Income and Food Security
Mario Paulo da Silva Falcao, Lubega Gerald, Ssekaandi Joseph and Natasha Ribeiro

2019, 2020
Contemporarily, there has been a growing interest in the role played by Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) towards improving livelihoods among rural populaces. This has been facilitated by the fact that communities living close to forest solely rely on NTFPs at a great extent for their livelihoods and thus, any effort in conserving such resources as a requirement in understanding how the host communities get to interact with them. The study employed a multistage sampling technique including proportionate and convenience sampling. A sample of 377 households was surveyed using a questionnaire. Key informant interviews with NTFP traders were conducted as well as observation on the commonly used NTFPs. Univariate and linear logistic ...
