Fifteen new fundraisers in East Africa!
Fifteen young conservationists from six East African countries (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and Ethiopia) successfully completed a project development, proposal writing and fundraising workshop at Mpala Research Centre in Kenya from 22-26 October.
The workshop was organized by the Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP), a partnership of BirdLife International, Conservation International, Fauna & Flora International, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. These four organizations work together to promote the development of future leaders and ensure they have the skills and knowledge to address the most pressing conservation issues of our time. The CLP provides a range of awards, training and mentoring support via an active international network of practitioners.
Hard work
All participants at the Mpala workshop worked extraordinarily hard. Not only did they attend lectures, applied the new tools they had learned to their own project situations, and participated in sometimes quite challenging role plays; each of them also worked up a complete project proposal during the 5-day course, which was then reviewed by external experts.
“It was one of the best organised and fruitful workshops I’ve ever attended!” said Landry from Burundi. Catherine from Rwanda added: “I’ve learnt a lot from everybody. My fellow students inspired me a lot, like in Rwanda, we have a lot to do, especially about involving the youth, but they proved to me it was possible! It was amazing to see that and to live that passion.”
All participants are encouraged to submit their proposal to either the CLP Awards or to other small grant donors, and will continue to receive support from the workshop facilitators. It is hoped that they will all be very successful in raising money for the conservation of birds, fish, mammals, amphibians, trees and other biodiversity in East Africa!
About the CLP
Since 1985, the Conservation Leadership Programme has supported and encouraged thousands of young conservation leaders who aim to address global biodiversity priorities at a local level. The CLP has been an important stepping stone for over 2500 individuals and has helped to facilitate the re-discovery or discovery of over 120 species new to science, the designation of 60 sites as new protected areas or important for global biodiversity, establishing of 23 new NGOs, knowledge sharing and collaboration, and the creation of mechanisms for long-term conservation.

Threatened whistling-ducks arrive at Woodbourne, Barbados
The BirdLife Caribbean Program established Woodbourne Shorebird Refuge on Barbados in 2009 with funding and support from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Canadian Wildlife Service. Originally a 5-ha wetland “swamp” managed specifically for shorebird hunting, Woodbourne was abandoned and fell into disrepair until BirdLife restored it as a “no-shooting” refuge for migratory shorebirds and resident waterbirds – a move that has been actively (and financially) supported by the Barbados Wildfowlers Association. The result is that in just over two years, an astonishing 24 species of shorebirds have found safe haven at Woodbourne.
2011 has been a difficult year for wetland management in Barbados. Above average rainfall in 2010, culminating in full flood conditions after hurricane Tomas at the end of October 2010 meant that Woodbourne started the 2011 autumn migration season with plenty of water. Further rains this autumn led to early flooding and very limited shallow water and shoreline habitat for shorebirds to alight on. For example, on one day at the end of August more than 270 Lesser Yellowlegs (a Species of Conservation Concern) passed through Woodbourne Shorebird Refuge without finding a place to stop.
While shorebird habitat was limited, Woodbourne did prove to be attractive to other waterbird species, and on 10th September, two West Indian Whistling-duck (Dendrocygna arborea – a globally Vulnerable species) turned up, associating with the resident Black-bellied Whistling-duck population (which currently stands at about eight pairs and 60-70 young). The West Indian Whistling-duck is an insular Caribbean endemic which is traditionally distributed only to the northern end of the Lesser Antilles in Antigua and Barbuda. However, with an expanding population in Antigua, the species has recently colonised Guadeloupe, and now two birds have arrived in Barbados.
After arriving at Woodbourne, the West Indian Whistling-ducks appeared to move around the island a lot. One was photographed at Fosters shooting swamp in the St Lucy IBA (whistling-ducks are not a target species for hunters on Barbados), and then the two birds were seen together again at Woodbourne on 3rd October when undergraduate students from the University of the West Indies were visiting the refuge on a biology field trip. The only other modern record of West Indian Whistling-duck on Barbados was of four birds spending a week at Graeme Hall Swamp IBA in 1961.
“Water management at Woodbourne has been a challenge in 2011. In early October, a number of Hudsonian Godwits could find no suitable lighting ground at our refuge, but they were able to rest and feed for several hours at the nearby Hampton shooting swamp before resuming their migration. This demonstrates how critical the network of artificially maintained wetlands in Barbados is for waterbirds. The godwits, the whistling-ducks, Whimbrel and indeed many other waterbird species are not targeted by the hunters on the privately-owned and managed swamps. However, a number of migratory shorebird species are hunted and the Barbados Wildfowlers Association is working closely with BirdLife towards objective regulation of this hunting based on sound science” said Mr. Wayne Burke, BirdLife’s Barbados Project Manager

World experts discuss climate change at RSPB co-organised event
Some of the world’s leading experts on climate change, wildlife and natural systems gathered earlier today at the UK’s Royal Society, to discuss the latest research on the ecological impacts of global warming.
The event, Climate Change: Biodiversity and People on the Front Line, takes place just three weeks before world leaders gather in Durban in South Africa to push forward the international climate change agenda.
Speakers at today’s event included Government climate change minister Lord Taylor, UK Government’s chief scientist Professor Bob Watson, leading environmental researchers including Chris Thomas of York University and experts from the RSPB (BirdLife in the UK), WWF and Natural England.
The event discussed the latest scientific knowledge on the implications of climate change for biodiversity, ecosystems and people who depend on them.
Critically, the event considered the implications of the growing gulf between what conservationists and development specialists consider to be ‘safe’ levels of climate change and the trajectory that the world is currently following, with global emissions at a record breaking high in 2010.
Environment Minister Lord Taylor said: “We all have a part to play in mitigating climate change and protecting the natural environment by reducing our carbon footprint.
“More and more UK companies are recognising that green policies make good business and we’re encouraging others to follow their lead and disclose what they are doing to reduce emissions.
“Early next year, we will publish the Climate Change Risk Assessment – which will help us all identify and prepare for the significant risks to our environment, economy and society from our changing climate.”
Defra Chief Scientific Adviser Professor Bob Watson said: “The world is facing a human-induced loss of biodiversity and significant degradation of the ecosystems on which we all depend.
“Significant progress has been made in assessing the value of ecosystems, both economically and socially. We need to build on this knowledge to mitigate climate change and loss of biodiversity together, whilst adapting to their combined effects.”
Martin Harper, RSPB Conservation Director and a speaker at the event, said: “Durban is just a few weeks away. It is a key opportunity to tackle climate change and we must not let it slip through our fingers.
“Global emissions continue to rise at an alarming rate. Unless we take action now the best available estimates show that an increase in global temperature by an average of 4°C is likely by the 2070s. This is widely considered to translate into climatic changes that are beyond what humans and ecosystems can adapt to in many areas around the globe.
“At the general level it will mean ecosystem collapse in the most vulnerable areas such as the Arctic, tropical forests, and the loss of a large proportion of the world’s coral reefs. We cannot let this happen, and that’s why we are calling for faster progress towards a global deal to contain greenhouse gas emissions.
“Expectations for an effective global emissions deal are low, but there is still much to fight for. If we can contain the temperature rise below 2°C that will be a significant victory for our planet – and something future generations will thank us for in years to come.”
Jo Phillips, Head of Climate Change Adaptation at WWF-UK and speaker at the conference said: “’World leaders are understandably focused on addressing the immediate economic crisis, but in doing so they must not ignore the urgent need to address the looming climate crisis.
“The solutions are interconnected; business as usual is not an option. Our choices and behaviour in the next few years will determine whether we have a prosperous and healthy world. We need urgent and rapid transformation to renewable energy, a green economy, sustainable land use and responsible behaviour that is fairer and recognises our planet’s boundaries.
“Current limited global ambition means that children around us today could be living through this ‘worst case scenario’. We have to take responsibility now. We know what we have to do and we have the solutions – we now need the leadership and commitment necessary to tackle this global problem before it is too late. Because of what is at risk and the time lag in the climate system, we cannot afford to wait.”

New book reveals natural wealth of remarkable forest
The biodiversity of Madagascar is legendary. Many animal and plant groups are exceptionally rich in species, and in natural forest areas the great majority of all animals and plants are endemic – found only in Madagascar, and often only in a specific small part of Madagascar. This extaordinary biodiversity is also well known to be extremely highly threatened.
BirdLife has contributed much to knowledge of where the key sites for conservation, through its Important Bird Areas survey programme and the resulting books and information made publicly available. Now, through the work of Asity Madagascar (BirdLife in Madagascar), working with national and international partners, a much more detailed account is available of the biodiversity of one of the most remarkable forests of all: Tsitongambarika, in the far south-east. The book Tsitongambarika Forest: Biological and socio-economic surveys, with conservation recommendations (with a French version also available) has been published in collaboration between BirdLife, Asity Madagascar and Rio Tinto. It has been launched in Fort Dauphin, the town in Madagascar closest to the forest.
“Asity Madagascar is strongly committed to the conservation of the whole of Tsitongambarika Forest. We have been carrying out pilot activities for several years, and helping to create a new protected area. This book will help us and our partners to promote the site and show the need to conserve it”, said Vony Raminoarisoa of Asity Madagascar.
The surveys reported in the book clearly demonstrate the very great importance of this site, and point towards to approaches needed to conserve it. Tsitongambarika turns out to have fauna and flora surprisingly unlike other similar-looking forest areas, with several species of amphibian, reptile and plant new to science, and confirmation of the presence of a number of other globally threatened and restricted-range species. It is truly a unique forest.
The birds include an impressive community of the lowland rainforest species of Madagascar, with good populations of the threatened Brown Mesite Mesitornis unicolor, Short-legged Ground-roller Brachypteracias leptosomus, Scaly Ground-roller Brachypteracias squamiger and Red-tailed Newtonia Newtonia fanovanae.
Many organisations and individuals specialising in different disciplines and taxa contributed to the biological surveys and socio-economic studies that the book summarises. Fieldwork was coordinated by Asity Madagascar, with primary support and funding from the Rio Tinto – BirdLife International Programme and Rio Tinto QMM, the company developing an ilmenite mine in the local area. Technical partners for surveys of vegetation, bats and ants were the Missouri Botanical Garden, Madagasikara Voakajy and California Academy of Sciences, respectively.
Tsitongambarika is also one of the key forests in BirdLife’s Forests of Hope programme: conserving and restoring tropical forest and combating climate change. Asity Madagascar has been implementing a conservation programme there for several years, resulting in the protection of Tsitongambarika through an effective partnership, led by Asity Madagascar and also involving local communities, Government and the private sector. One of the highlights has been the seizure of trucks and timber from illegal loggers earlier in 2011.
“Tsitongambarika is truly a Forest of Hope. It has extraordinary biological diversity, and is vital to the regional economy through the ecosystem services it provides. By working in partnership with Government, local communities and the private sector, there is an exceptional opportunity to conserve it in perpetuity”, said Dr Roger Safford, Senior Programme Manager at BirdLife International.
The surveys reported in the book have informed the design of this programme, support for which has come from several organisations, most notably Rio Tinto and Rio Tinto QMM through its partnership programme with BirdLife International. Rio Tinto has long-term interests in safeguarding this critical area of humid forest, recognising that it provides essential ecosystem services to the area, and that it is vulnerable to various indirect impacts associated with mine development. Rio Tinto recognises that Tsitongambarika forms a vitally important contribution to their overall commitment to minimising and potentially offsetting the biodiversity impacts of its activities in the region. Highly valued support has also been received from Conservation International, the Waterloo Foundation, the Wetland Trust, the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria and the MAVA Foundation, all recognising the enormous biodiversity value of Tsitongambarika forest.

BirdLife Europe calls for a renewables revolution in harmony with nature
With the effects of climate change already being felt and carbon emissions actually increasing last year, the need for new sustainable energy has never been greater. But we need to be careful that this renewables revolution doesn’t damage the very ecosystems it seeks to protect. With the launch of its new report, Meeting Europe’s Renewable Energy Targets in Harmony with Nature, in Brussels on 22 November, BirdLife Europe shows how we can meet our 2020 renewable energy targets without impacting on wildlife.
Climate change poses an enormous threat to biodiversity all over the world and we need to develop renewable energy solutions quickly in order to cut carbon emissions and keep warming within safe limits. However, we need to develop the right solutions in the right locations to avoid negatively impacting on biodiversity.
This exciting new report sets out why it’s so important to consider biodiversity in the challenge to reduce carbon emissions and how policy makers can help make the renewables revolution truly “green”.
The launch will include a presentation of the report’s findings and recommendations, responses from DG Energy, DG Environment, the European Wind Energy Association and the European Renewable Energy Council, and a panel debate. For more information on the event, click here.
There are still places available to attend the launch, so if you’d like to find out more about how renewable energy can be delivered in harmony with nature please email birdliferenewables@rspb.org.uk.
