Abstract:
ABSTRACTGreen-grabbing has recently been suggested as a label for describing processes of dispossessions undertaken in the name of conservation in sub-Saharan Africa. For the case examined here, the Dukuduku forest and the Mfolozi flats in northern KwaZulu-Natal, we will argue that the label obscures more than it helps illuminate the complex processes leading up to the present-day struggle over land rights. The land in question has been subjected to a number of different land uses in the past: hunting, conservation, commercial agriculture and small-scale agriculture. We show how contestation o

Abstract:
The South African Peripatopsidae comprise two genera: Peripatopsis Pocock, 1894 (eight described species) and Opisthopatus Purcell, 1899 (two described species, and three subspecies currently debated). Recent collecting in South Africa produced a new and unusual onychophoran, Opisthopatus herbertorum sp. nov., from Mt. Currie Nature Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal. The new species is characterised by 17 pairs of legs, 15 complete dorsal plical folds per body segment, a lack of body-pigmentation, and reduced eyes. A key to the three species of Opisthopatus is provided. Other species of white onychophora

We quantified habitat associations and evaluated the conservation status of a recently identified, undescribed species of dwarf chameleon, Bradypodion sp. nov. Dhlinza, endemic to scarp forest remnants in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. At the microhabitat scale the Dhlinza dwarf chameleon was found more often in forest gaps and near paths than highly disturbed edges or forest interior. Chameleon presence was not explained by forest physiognomic variables such as vine cover, shrub and tree density, or canopy cover. Presence near gaps may be better explained by the combined effects of the

Outside conservation areas this Centre of Plant Endemism is under threat from human utilization.

Abstract:
A new species of dwarf chameleon is described from a restricted patch of relict indigenous forest in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa. Its specific status is confirmed by phylogenetic analyses using molecular markers (1390 bp of mitochondrial 16S and ND2). The node defining this species is highly supported with both analyses (100% posterior probability, 100% bootstrap support). This species (Bradypodion ngomeense sp. nov.) is part of a larger clade of forest species, but is itself confined to a single forest (Ngome Forest). The molecular patterns of other forest restricted species in KZN were

SummaryThe Cape Parrot Poicephalus robustus is a habitat specialist, restricted to forest patches in the Eastern Cape (EC), KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and Limpopo provinces of South Africa. Recent census estimates suggest that there are less than 1,600 parrots left in the wild, although historical data suggest that the species was once more numerous. Fragmentation of the forest biome is strongly linked to climate change and exploitation of the forest by the timber industry. We examine the subpopulation structure and connectivity between fragmented populations across the distribution of the species. D

Most grasshopper species have simple and similar life cycles and histories; however, different environmental and ecological factors have different effects on their distribution, sexes, and developmental stages, with effects varying among species. If we are to conserve grasshoppers, we need to understand their ecology and life histories. The aim of this study was to investigate aspects of the life histories and ecology of two recently described co-occurring, congeneric species of wingless grasshoppers, Eremidium armstrongi (Brown, 2012) and Eremidium browni Otte & Armstrong, 2017, at th

A total of 2801 butterflies were trapped, which consisted of 28 species, representing five subfamilies of the Nymphalidae, with the most abundant and species rich subfamily being Charaxinae.

Indigenous forest resources are valuable to communities situated around them as they provide many different resources for their livelihoods. South Africa has only 0.5% of indigenous forest cover and most forests are surrounded by local communities who depend on them for resources. At Ongoye the forest was widely (91% of households) used for fuelwood. Community members denied harvesting the forest for either building or fencing poles, claiming they bought Eucalyptus poles from suppliers in the community. However, the harvesting intensities of pole size stems confirm that the user community does

In order to have a fuller understanding of the policy implementation challenges facing land restitution in conservation areas, this research identifies and analyses the perspectives in the literature on policy implementation. The study explains how the land restitution programme emerged as a policy solution to the legacy of a deep historical racial divide regarding land ownership in South. Africa. However, it explores the implication of this on the conservation of the environment. The study shows that reconciling land restitution on conservation areas is a complex process, owing, partially to

There is a growing body of literature that outlines a contemporary view of the role of forests and forestry in rural development. The most common argument highlighted by the contemporary literature indicates that forests provide a wide variety of important products, both for subsistence purposes and as sources of income. This study is based on the premise that an understanding of the issues that relate to access and utilization of forest resources and their management cannot be neglected in the field of rural development, more especially in the African context wherein much of the population is

Human appropriation of natural resources, and the consequent loss of habitats, means that ecological restoration may in the future become a vital conservation tool. For this to happen, we have to understand the processes and factors that govern community assembly, and their management. Here I analyze data on community structure (richness, evenness, diversity, composition) of assemblages (millipedes, spiders, dung beetles, plants, birds, rodents), and on soil chemical and physical properties, to describe and evaluate post-disturbance dune forest regeneration patterns.

Coastal forests are a significant component of the remaining natural vegetation in the greater Durban area. Being closely associated with an historical and rapidly developing urban environment, these forests are invariably small, isolated and variously disturbed. The nature of disturbance as an ecological phenomenon, coupled with unknowable disturbance histories and ongoing disturbance events poses particular challenges to traditional and tradition-bound attempts to understand and manage such forests.

The ecology of blue duikers Philantomba monticola and red duikers Cephalophus natalensis was studied in three lowland coastal evergreen forests in Natal. Variation in population densities, estimated with numerous census techniques and between and within study areas permitted comparisons of habitat parameters. Both species are strictly diurnal, and are active between 18 and 40% of the nycthemeral cycle. Usually a pair of blue duikers occupy a permanent territory of about 0,7ha while red duiker home ranges, between 2 and 15ha, overlap extensively with each other and those of blue duikers. Habita
