SOUTH AFRICAN BOTANICAL DIVERSITY NETWORK
The ten countries which constitute southern Africa (Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe) comprise less than two percent of the world's land area, but contain over 10% of the global flora, i.e. over 30,000 species of flowering plants and ferns, including 38% of the world's succulents and the whole of one of the world's six floristic kingdoms - the Cape Floristic Region, in an area of around 6,000,000 sq. km. In response to the urgent need to document, describe and conserve this incredible floral wealth, the Southern African Botanical Diversity Network (SABONET), a network of professional botanists from around the region, was officially established in southern Africa in March 1996. Co- funded by GEF/UNDP and USAID/IUCN ROSA, the objective of SABONET is to develop a strong core of professional botanists, taxonomists, horticulturists and plant diversity specialists within the ten countries of southern Africa, competent to inventory, monitor, evaluate and conserve the botanical diversity of the region in the face of specific development challenges, and to respond to the technical and scientific needs of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
The project is guided by a Steering Committee (Chairperson: Prof. Brian Huntley, CEO of South Africa's National Botanical Institute) comprising representatives of each participating country, and coordinated by a Project Coordinator based at the National Herbarium in Pretoria, South Africa. National Working Groups, with broad representation from relevant organizations, have been set up in each participating country to manage the project on a national level and make recommendations to the Steering Committee. Some of the activities of the project include workshops, collaborative collecting expeditions into under collected areas within the region, as well as the computerization of national and regional herbaria. Regional training courses (for primarily staff of southern African herbaria and botanical gardens) on herbarium management, threatened plants, identification of specific plant groups (such as ferns, grasses), botanical garden management and horticulture (the botanical garden component of the project will become fully operational in 1998) amongst others, form an integral part of the program.
The project produces a newsletter, SABONET News, published three times per year (April, August and December) and distributed free-of-charge currently to over 1200 individuals in over 60 countries around the world, as well as an occasional SABONET Report series. Two numbers in this report series have so far been published (Southern African National Herbaria: Status Reports, 1996; and Index Herbariorum: Southern African supplement).
For more information about the project and/or its publications, please contact the Coordinator (Christopher Willis), SABONET, c/o National Botanical Institute, Private Bag X101, Pretoria 0001, South Africa; Tel.; (27) 12 804 3200; Fax: (27) 12 804 3211; E-mail: ckw@nbipre.nbi.ac.za.
PROTECTION OF WORLD FORESTS
World Wildlife Fund and the World Bank have announced a global partnership for forest protection and environmentally sound management. Both organizations will work to establish a network of protected areas covering at least 10% of each of the world's forest types by the year 2000, and also cooperate to ensure that 200 million hectares of forest are "certified" as well managed by 2005.
Deforestation has increased dramatically in the past five years, with tropical forests disappearing at the rate of nearly 1% per year. The annual deforestation rate in the Brazilian Amazon has increased 34% since the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. Almost half of the earth's original forest cover is gone, much of it destroyed within the past three decades. Seventy-five percent of the world's large intact forests in the temperate and tropical regions are now threatened. WWF and the World Bank will share four specific programs as part of this project: 1) the identification and establishment of forest protected areas; 2) promote investment in, and purchase of, products from well- managed forests; 3) mobilize the many groups both organizations work with around the world to try to move priority countries from broad forest conservation commitments to specific agreements based on sound biological information; and 4) develop innovative approaches to forest conservation, such as "transition funds" that will encourage local communities to invest in sound forest management.
So far this year, 20 countries are committed to the target of the establishment of an ecologically representative network of protected areas, so hopefully by the year 2000 at least 10% of each of the worlds' forest types will be protected.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Bat Conservation International (BCI) has scholarships available for students conducting conservation-relevant research on bats. Students from any college or university worldwide are eligible to apply. Applicant must be enrolled as a student before the submission deadline of January 15, 1997.
The main goal of this program is to support student research that will contribute new knowledge essential to conserving bats. Only projects with direct conservation relevance will be considered for funding. In the 1998 round of awards the foundation plans to award 10-12 grants of up to $2,500 each. The hope is that students will use these funds to pursue opportunities for matching grants from other conservation organizations, government agencies, private foundations and corporations.
It is imperative that the proposal be developed by the applicant. While BCI will fund research that is part of a larger project, the student must demonstrate that the proposal was researched primarily by the student applying.
Interested students may obtain copies of BCI's standard application forms by contacting BCI's Educational Resource Coordinator well in advance of the deadline.
For application and/or more information please address all correspondence to: Bat Conservation International, Educational Resource Coordinator, P.O. Box 162603, Austin, TX 78716-2603; Tel.: (512) 327-9721; Fax: (512) 327-9724: E-mail: aengland@batcon.org.
INFORMATION HIGHWAY HI-LITES
The Mamiraua Project in Brazil, which began managing the Mamiraua Sustainable Development Reserve (and Ramsar site) five years ago, now has created a website for the project and other activities of the Sociedade Civil Mamiraua. The project has developed an innovative community based management approach to sustainable resource use and biodiversity conservation in the Brazilian varzea.
The address for the site is: http://www.cnpq.br\mamiraua\mamiraua.htm.
NEW PUBLICATIONS
The Biodiversity Support Program has published a handbook, What's Your Role?: Training for Organizational Impact, which is designed to help training officers improve the effectiveness of protected area organizations through in-service training of the staff. The author, Ralph Stone, synthesizes lessons learned from pilot activities in three African regions under the USAID-funded Protected Area Conservation (PARCS) project. PARCS is a four-year project jointly implemented by World Wildlife Fund, African Wildlife Foundation and Wildlife Conservation Society.
The manual is packed with creative ideas and information on
effective training approaches, fund raising, monitoring and
evaluation, and building a future for training within
organizations. If you work as a training officer for a natural
resource management or environmental authority, nongovernmental
organization, or integrated conservation and development program,
this handbook is an indispensable tool. It is available through
the Biodiversity Support Program, 1250 24th Street, NW,
Washington, DC 20037.
A new report, The State of the Climate: A Time for Action, released by World Wide Fund for Nature, identifies the most compelling evidence available that global warming is underway and is not a distant threat. The report includes a large array of data from all over the world to indicate that a shift in our planet's weather patterns, and changes in climate, are happening today, including: droughts, melting glaciers and ice caps, dramatic ocean warming, regional increases in extreme and violent storms, and dozens of other key indicators. It also highlights initiatives available now to combat climate change, such as the Government of Denmark's commitment to build 500 offshore windmills by 2005. More information on this report and the Danish effort can be found in the Climate Change Campaign web site at http://www.panda.org/climate.
