  • Oil extraction imperils Africa’s Great Lakes

    • As the world's demands for hydrocarbons increase (1), remote areas previously made inaccessible by technological limitations are now being prospected for oil and gas deposits. Virtually unnoticed by the public, such activities are ongoing in the East African Great Lakes region, threatening these ecosystems famed for their hyper-diverse biota, including the unique adaptive radiations of cichlid fishes (2). Countries in the region see exploitation of hydrocarbon reserves as a vital economic opportunity. In the Lake Albert region of Uganda, for example, the government foresees a $3.6 billion oil profit per year starting in 2018—a sum almost as high as the country's current annual budget (3). However, oil extraction in the East African Great Lakes region poses grave risks to the environment and local communities.

  • Shedding Light on a Biodiversity Dark Spot: Survey Of Amphibians and Reptiles of Pemba Region in Northern Mozambique
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Herpetological Conservation and Biology. - 2151-0733. ; 17:2, s. 423-432
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The biodiversity of northern Mozambique is likely one of the least known in southern Africa but is expected to harbor rich herpetofaunal diversity due to the high diversity in neighboring countries, the presence of diverse habitats, and its large size. Here, we summarize 19 years of reported observations and collections from the Pemba region in Cabo Delgado Province to better document the herpetofaunal diversity and distribution in coastal northern Mozambique. We report the presence of two species of amphibians and 27 species of reptiles for the first time from the region. In total, the Pemba region is now known to harbor 54 herpetofaunal species (19 amphibians and 35 reptiles) of which two (sea turtles) are at risk. Additionally, of the six snake species regarded as medically important to humans, we have formally documented five for the first time from the entire Cabo Delgado Province. Our compilation of new records adds 15 verified herpetofaunal species for the province, raising the total from 86 to 101. © 2022. Harith Farooq All Rights Reserved.
