Zambia Busanga Swamps(ramsar site no. 1659)

200 000 A seasonal floodplain (swamps, lagoons, woodlands, rivers and large grassy plains) which is important for groundwater recharge and flood control for the Kafue and Zambezi rivers. It hosts a number of vulnerable and Endangered birds and mammals and supports significant numbers of migratory birds and other fauna. there is a wide variety of fish, including Tilapia sp. the site is of local historical and traditional importance.

3 small camps, 28 beds:

Shumba

Kapinga

Busanga Bush Camp

See adjacent text box

Botswana Okavango Delta(ramsar site no. 879)

5 537 400 the only inland delta in sub-Saharan Africa. Set in a semi-arid region and subject to large seasonal fluctuations of inundation. vegetation includes permanent and seasonal swamp, riverine woodland, floodplains and a freshwater lake. the diverse flora and fauna includes 1 060 different plant species, 32 large mammal species, over 650 species of birds, 68 species of fish, and a diverse insect population. human activities include recreation, tourism, subsistence farming, fishing, and livestock grazing.

Contribution to various regional and national conservation forums such as OKACOM, BIOkavango and the Botswana Ecotourism Standards designed to ensure sustainable utilisation and conservation of the Okavango.

Investigation, in partnership with an array of institutions, into various management implications for the site including human-Elephant Conflict and elephant impact on vegetation (university of Botswana, university of Witwatersrand, university of london).

Investigation into various aspects of biodiversity in terms of herbivores (roan antelope, sable antelope, buffalo, white rhino, black rhino), carnivores (lion, cheetah, wild dog) and aquatic systems. Building of local research capacity through establishment of research camps and awarding of bursaries.

Investigation in different elements of landscape connectivity: elephant movements (Elephants Without Borders), wild dog movements (university of Botswana) and lion genetics (university of Bristol).

Republic of congo

Odzala Kokoua (ramsar site no. 2080

1 300 000 the site is characterised by semi-evergreen forests, swamp forests, saline marshes, shrubs and a rich savannah forest making up the very dense seasonally flooded freshwater swamp forest, ponds and permanent freshwater rivers. It supports 25 families and over 150 species of indigenous fishes and 108 migratory fish species. Several endemic plant species are included in the 1 062 plant species, usually harvested by local populations for trading and food in nearby villages or towns. human activities include agriculture, aquaculture, hunting and harvesting of non-timber forest products.

2 camps, 24 beds: lango and Ngaga camps

Assistance with research and conservation of Western lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) as well as ranger and tracker training. Biodiversity monitoring in Odzala-Kokoua National park.

south Africa turtle beaches and coral reefs of tongaland(ramsar site no. 344.)

39 500 An important transition zone between true reef and non-limestone substrates with reef communities. Known to support 16 species of coral, 1 200 species of fish, five species of marine turtles, 41 species of marine mammal, and 49 species of bird. the flora is predominantly algal, and many species reach the southern limit of their distribution.

1 camp, 34 beds:rocktail Beach Camp

Annual monitoring of the nesting and hatching behaviour of leatherback and loggerhead turtles over a five month season in partnership with Isimangaliso Wetland Authority.

south Africa lake Sibaya(ramsar site no. 528.)

7 750 the largest natural freshwater lake in South Africa. Separated from the ocean by forested dunes; includes areas of swamp forest and wet grassland. A large variety of endangered or endemic species of reptiles, fish, birds, mammals and plants occur. the site is important for numerous species of breeding birds and supports a large population of hippopotamus as well as a diverse zooplankton fauna, 15 species of aquatic and 43 species of terrestrial molluscs.

1 camp, 34 beds:rocktail Beach Camp

None currently. Falls within the Isimangaliso Wetland park. potential future priorities include Nile crocodile.

south Africa Makuleke wetlands(ramsar site no. 1687)

7 757 Excellent example of a floodplain vlei type with riverine forests, riparian floodplain forests, floodplain grasslands, river channels and 31 flood pans. Flood pans are depressions in the floodplains which are intermittently filled from floods and rains – they are of great importance in this ecosystem as they hold water right into the dry season, thus acting as a refuge point for wildlife and waterbirds. the floodplains attenuate floods, are important for groundwater recharge, and maintain riparian and floodplain vegetation.

2 camps, 48 beds:

pafuri Camp

pafuri Walking trails

Contribution to the formulation of a revised management plan for the area (with ErM, Kruger National park and the Makuleke CpA).

Investigation into the characteristics of the pan systems related to both the limpopo and luvuvhu rivers in partnership with the university of the Witwatersrand.

Investigation into various aspects of biodiversity from bats (Ditsong Museum of Natural history), butterflies (lepSoc), pel’s fishing owl (Endangered Wildlife trust), and transfrontier elephant movements (Save the Elephants – SA).

Investigation into the sustainability of offroad driving (university of pretoria).
