ProjectEnduring land and cultural sustainability for Ngāti Porou through afforestation subsidies
Overview
2014Also available in:
No results found.This is a Māori/Ngati Porou-led PES scheme that makes use of government afforestation subsidies and foreign direct investment to enable one of the tribe’s commercial bodies, Ngāti Porou Whanui Forests Limited (NPWFL) to become a provider of environmental services by undertaking afforestation activities to mitigate severe soil erosion and its negative effects on the Ngāti Porou community. -
DocumentIllegal hunting and the bush-meat trade in Savanna Africa: drivers, impacts and solutions to address the problem 2015
Also available in:
No results found.This technical publication on Bush meat, wildlife-based economies, food security and conservation: Insights into the ecological, economic, and social impacts of the bush meat trade in African savannahs is the second in an open series of FAO publications on illegal hunting and bush meat trade. This publication provides insights into the ecological, economic and social aspects of bush meat trade in Africa, as requested by FAO member countries at the 16th and 17th Session of the African Fore stry and Wildlife Commission (AFWC). Decision makers need to know the magnitude of illegal hunting and bush meat trade and the long term economic and food security benefits. The study responds to this need. This product is a result of a fruitful collaboration by FAO and Panthera, the Sustainable Use & Livelihoods Group (SULi) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).Access the second publication Bushmeat, wildlife-based economies, food security and conservation. Access the third publication, Illegal bushmeat hunting in the Okavango Delta, Botswana .

ArticleDesertification combating and ecological restoration of selected acacia species from sub-sahara, savanna regions
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Acacia species are widely distributed in the Sub-Sahara, Savanna regions and are of significant importance in terms of ecological remediation, afforestation programming, and economic value. Seed dormancy is common in Acacia species, and it creates difficulties in seed testing and planting. The initial aim of the current study was to assess the influence of a different temperature and different levels of water potential for germination based on the hydrothermal time models that had been successfully prophesying germination demand in several threat categories. Seeds of four Acacia species were treated at different temperature (15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C and 35°C) and different levels of osmotic stress (0, -.4, -0.8, and -1.2 MPa). The results revealed that the degree of dormancy variation among the species, they were 81% for A. nilotica, 74% for A. seyal, 15% for A. mellifera, and 5% for A. senegal. Whereas, the optimal temperatures responded is 25°C for A. seyal, and A. senegal, A. nilotica, and 20°C for A. mellifera. Therefore, there are negative correlations appeared within germination percentages and water potential, . seyal, and A. senegal was displayed a drought-tolerant significantly lower levels of water stress. In contrast, A. nilotica and A. mellifera indicated less drought-tolerant of promoting water stress.
