aardvarks have been nicknamed the “The African Bush Excavator�. It is believed that their survival depends on their digging abilities, whether for food, escape from predators and or creating a hole for a shelter. For this reason, the aardvark is thought to be the unsung hero of the African bush.

Introduction Aardvarks are odd looking animals that are oftentimes mistaken for a pig, no wonder the word aardvark means “earth pig� in Afrikaans.

It is the only living mammalian species of the order Tubulidentata that are today solely native to the African Continent. They are nocturnal and rarely sighted because they only emerge in the night. They live a solitary life and wander throughout the night in search of food and other necessities. Aardvarks have large territories often extending over many square kilometers. They can cover as much

walk with their noses close to the ground and seem to use mainly their sense of smell. They also rely on sensitive bristles around their noses and mouths to help them feel their way. Their vision seems to be poor; they would even approach men with bright spotlights quite closely, but when they hear the slightest sound they will run away. Further to that, they often bump into rocks and trees while trying to escape, a hypothesis that supports that they indeed have a bad sight.

Aardvarks are well known for their ability in burrowing even through cement like substrates at a faster rate than two to six men with a spade could, it is said. As a result of that,

Aardvarks usually move slowly, but they can attain speeds of up to 40 km/h when running. They are also excellent swimmers, capable of swimming even in strong currents.

During the day, they spend their time lounging underground in cool, dark burrows.

Occasionally, one is seen at dusk or during the daytime for busking in the sun.

Aardvarks are regarded the living fossils for not having changed for millions of years. The fossil record shows that the Tubulidentata originated in Africa and the modern aardvark was extant

date back to the Miocene and already belong to the family of Orycteropodidae as they show great resemblance with today’s aardvarks in many ways. They arose from a primitive form of the hoofed animals. Morphological and anatomical characteristics show a close relation to the 50 million year old fossil Phenacodus.

Animal Description Aardvarks are medium sized mammals that are believed to resemble and or made from

many individual animals. They have ears like rabbit, tongue like anteater, kangaroolike tail, webbed feet like duck and pig-like snout. Although these animals share similar features and characteristics with pigs, rabbits and kangaroos, their closest living relatives, however, are the elephant shrews, sirenians, hyraxes, tenrecs, and the African elephants.

Aardvarks are thick bodied animals with their backs curved into a high domed arch. They have short strong legs and clawed feet for ! " ! a long sticky tongue for reaching and eating insects. Long pointed ears which allow them to hear tiny sounds, such as termites under the ground and they have small teeth without either roots or enamel.

Geographical distribution and habitat Aardvarks live in sub-Saharan Africa in a range of ecosystems, from savannas to grasslands, woodlands and bushlands. They occupy the central and southern Africa. However, reports indicate that the coastal areas of Namibia, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Madagascar are devoid of these animals. Aardvarks avoid high altitudes above 2000 meters above sea level, but they do exist in high altitudes up to 3,200 meter above sea level. They rarely occupy swampy areas and rocky terrain because such ecological set-ups cannot provide food

Aardvark’s digging ability and technique Aardvarks are good and incredible bush artisans and architects. Their digging ability is unrivalled. They are such excellent diggers.

Cont. from pg 9 They can dig a hole on the spot and dive in to hide from predators. Although, they inhabit temporary holes that are a few meters in length, they are also found in complex and intricate burrows which can have eight or more entrances and extend as much as 6 meters underground. They dig long burrows where they sleep during the heat of the day.

The entrances are often plugged with an air vent left at the top.

Feeding and Reproduction Aardvarks like pangolins and American Anteaters are technically carnivores which exclusively feed on termites and ants beside soft-bodied insects. One characteristic feature that is common to all ant eaters is their long sticky tongue which is adapted to lapping up their prey. Aardvarks use their remarkable claws to rip open termite mounds and ant hills and insert their sticky tongues to reach the colony. Termites are located in the termite hills which form great features of the African landscape. As they feed, termites retreat, so they dig in progressively deeper until almost the entire body is in the hole. To protect themselves from soldier termites, they fold ears shut, close eyes and nostrils by a special valve.

Beside termites, ants and soft bodied insects, aardvarks cherish on cucumbers, a fruit with high water content. The aardvark cucumber is the world’s only known underground fruitbearing cucumber.

Aardvarks are ecologically important animals.

Their burrowing activities provide living homes for many individual animal species that cannot make their own. Besides, the disturbance of the soil by aardvarks is also important to many plant species. A record shows that about seventeen mammal species, two types of reptiles, and a couple birds oftentimes turn the abandoned aardvark burrows into their homes. Examples of animals that occupy disused burrows include hyenas, jackals,

Aardvarks give birth to one offspring at a time and take care of it for one year. The delivery takes place inside the main chamber in the burrow.

Two weeks later, the pup starts going out with the mother on feeding trips. After six months it is able to dig for itself, but stays close to the

warthogs, porcupines, bats, owls and most importantly the wild dogs. Recently it has been found that the highly endangered Blue swallow also utilize aardvark burrows as safe nesting sites.

Conservation of aardvarks Aardvarks were numerous and diverse in the early Tertiary. Their survival was guaranteed because there were few predators and they encountered no competition for food.

Today they are more threatened by new

enemies and many other competitors. For example, some of the African carnivores are insectivorous-omnivorous thereby exerting pressure on food with aardvarks.

According to International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), aardvarks’ extinction scale is least concern. Usually Aardvarks fall prey to lions, leopards, hyenas, hunting dogs, pythons and even badgers. To escape from enemies they dig themselves into the ground. They use their sense of hearing and smell to detect danger.

However, the biggest contributors to the decline of aardvarks’ populations are humans.

Human’s quest for the tasty aardvarks pork like meat is high. The various body parts of the animal are used as charms. For example, noses and claws are considered to be invested with strong powers. Charm from the heart,

with leaves, barks and roots of some trees are processed together and is said to give the owner the ability to pass through walls or roofs at night. Burglars and those seeking to visit young girls without their parents’ knowledge use this same charm. Teeth on the other hand are believed to prevent illnesses.

As human populations rise and cities grow, logging, agriculture, roads and settlements destroy aardvark habitats, practices which are detrimental to already fragile environment.

Cultural beliefs and stories about aardvarks In the African folklore, the aardvark is much admired because of its diligent quest for food and its fearless response to soldier ants.

A lot of stories have been told with a lot of exaggerations about aardvarks. Despite these exaggerations, there are quite a few of Cont. on pg 12

them that are true as narrated below:A group of men attempted to capture an aardvark alive. It was spotted and immediately started digging. The men lassoed it with a rope tied to a horse.

The horse couldn’t get it out. Instead, the aardvark pulled the horse down onto the ground until its legs buckled below it and the rope had to be cut to relieve its distress.

It is also told that a man with a team of helpers tried to dig out an aardvark.

It was seen as it started to dig. When the men got to the spot, it was already gone from view; they dug after it with their spades. After digging into the tunnel just created by the aardvark for a distance of 32 meters, they gave up. They were unable to keep up with it even though they only had to dig through the soil it had already loosened.

Another story says one guy tried to capture an aardvark above ground by grabbing its tail, but he was dragged for 50 meters through a

bomber was nicknamed the “Aardvark� because of its long nose resembling the animal. It also had similarities with its nocturnal ! ordnance that could penetrate deep into the ground.

One popular belief is that if aardvark claws are used to mark a line on the ground that line develops into a rivulet and later into a big river. Similarly, the spot where bones of a dead aardvark are found develops into a big

By Kate Moore Alongside guns, humans and drugs, illegal wildlife trade is one of the largest and most lucrative transnational crimes in the world.

Most would associate this type of organised crime with the likes of Kenya or South Africa which have more abundant wildlife and a reputation for armed violence, not the relatively peaceful ‘Warm Heart of Africa’. Malawi was indeed recently confirmed as Southern Africa’s principal transit hub for illegal wildlife products, a key link in a chain of poaching, trafficking and demand that is threatening some of Africa’s most iconic species with extinction.

Rhinos, pangolins and lions are in drastic decline to feed the demand of traditional medicine black markets in Eastern countries such as Vietnam and elephants have already vanished from Sierra Leone and Senegal due to poaching for their ivory tusks.

Some of the world’s biggest ivory seizures, including the largest ever 6.5 tonnes in Singapore in 2002, have been linked back to Malawi with DNA analysis

confirming that the majority was sourced in Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique. Elephant populations in these neighbouring countries are taking a hammering with Tanzania losing 60% of its elephants since 2009.

For the 50 or so ivory trafficking convictions within Malawi’s borders between 2010 and 2014, the average penalty was just $40. There were no custodial sentences. In 2015, two brothers were intercepted in Mzuzu in the North of Malawi on their way to Lilongwe with 2.6 tonnes of ivory. They received a fine of $2500 each in lieu of 7 years in prison, which was paid in cash on the spot. That ivory was probably worth between $3 and $5 million on the illegal market in China.

The sentence paled in comparison to those passed in neighbouring countries in the same year. A man received 5 years in prison in Zambia for being caught in possession of 12.5kg of ivory, there was a 10 year sentence in lieu of a $392.000 fine for a tonne of ivory in South Africa and in Kenya and someone was fined

www.theeyemw.com

$233,000 for smuggling a single tusk weighing 3.4kg.

Couple this lack of deterrent sentencing with inadequate law enforcement, weak legislation and high perceived levels of corruption Malawi has understandably been regarded as a low risk, high reward environment by traffickers moving ivory from this region of Africa to lucrative markets in the East.

However, since the extent of the problem was exposed in Malawi’s Illegal Wildlife Trade Review in 2015, the scales have started to tip in favour of the authorities. In May 2016, the first specialised Wildlife Crime Investigation Unit was established within the Department of National Parks & Wildlife which, in partnership with the Malawi Police Service, made more wildlife trafficking arrests in the last 7 months of 2016 than the previous 7 years.

Interception is of course meaningless if the crime is not treated seriously in the courts. In this case, it was the Judiciary and the Directorate of Public Prosecutions who rose to the challenge, authorising courtroom advocates and the public-private litigation of wildlife crime cases in August last year. This unprecedented step resulted in a dramatic increase in both custodial conviction rates (94%) and average length of sentencing (moving from 0 to 3.5 years) and cases have included the first custodial sentence for rhino horn trading as well as the first imprisonments of police officers, government officials and foreign nationals for ivory trafficking.

Then in January this year, the National Parks & Wildlife Act Amendment Bill was passed, increasing penalties for wildlife crime to a maximum of 30 years with no option of a fine. According to the MP members of the Malawi Parliamentary Conservation Caucus who lobbied hard in its support, it was the fastest

authorisation of any amendment bill in living memory, reflecting the determination of all the stakeholders.

It’s not just the organised criminal syndicates that should fear the Government’s harder line and new legislation. In a show of support from the very top, President Mutharika himself led the British High Commissioner, the Chinese and US Ambassadors and thirteen other diplomatic mission leaders in a film reminding citizens, residents and tourists that wildlife crime will not be tolerated. Even an ivory statue hidden at the bottom of a tourist’s suitcase carries the risk of a prison sentence these days.

The Malawi government’s progressive and collaborative approach has attracted worldwide praise as an emerging leader in the fight against wildlife crime in Africa and it’s a story that has reached a tipping point. At time of writing, the abovementioned Mzuzu case that led to international embarrassment two years ago was heading to the High Court of Appeal and nine people had been arrested over the 300kg of ivory intercepted in Thailand in March that had been allowed to pass unchecked through Kamuzu International Airport.

Beyond Malawi’s reputation lies that of a whole global generation whose actions will determine whether some of the world’s most iconic species can be saved from extinction. Fighting wildlife crime is not just a job for the authorities and conservationists and whilst the dark underworld of ivory trafficking may seem a world away to many of us, there is a good deal we can do to help as individuals:

Don’t buy wild. It is illegal to buy, sell or possess any wild animal or wildlife products without a licence. Wildlife crime now carries a prison sentence of up to 30 years.

Habitat loss, climate change and pollution each play their deadly hand but the illegal trade in wildlife is the unsung villain contributing to the silence enveloping the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild spaces.

have a penchant for wild animal meat. So far, urban patrons have been getting off scot-free risking only zoonotic disease contraction but the Malawian government is cracking down. In May two convicted poachers were sentenced with 30 months in prison with hard labour for killing two monkeys in Nyika National Park. Black-market traders are on borrowed time.

Although the illicit trade in ivory and other wildlife products may have garnered more recognition internationally of late and deservedly so, the overhunting of wild animals for bushmeat accounts for the greater loss of biodiversity. A recent study revealed an 83% decline in mammal species in poached areas compared to places left undisturbed. The same research indicated that commercial hunting is causing greater damage than subsistence hunting.

Law enforcement may be the last bastion in an effort to stem the tide of such widespread defaunation. It is Malawiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laws prohibiting the sale and consumption of bushmeat that can save species from extinction safeguarding the

Mountain biking, walking and driving day safaris, as well as more conventional 4x4 excursions are available. The montane vegetation attracts large numbers of antelope from the diminutive duiker to eland and roan. Zebra are common. The park has one of the highest densities of leopard in central Africa and there are a number of species of smaller mammals such as warthog and bush pig. Elephants and buffalo usually keep to the lower ground on the northern edge of the park but elephants have been seen on the high plateau, on a number of occasions.

For the birdwatcher, the park has a lot to offer: over 400 species have been recorded. The rare Denhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bustard and the wattled crane are among those to be seen, as is the red-winged francolin - endemic to Nyika.

There is wildlife present namely hyaena, bushbuck, common duiker, porcupine, civet cat, genet, hyrax and Cape hare. Over 200 species of birds have been recorded. For visitors there are an Education / Interpretation Centre, a Picnic Spot with barbeque and six trails of varying length including one to the Peak (1470 m) affording superb views as far as Zomba Mountain to the east and the Shire Valley across to the Kirk Range in the west. Michiru Nature Sanctuary is managed by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife and receives huge support from the Blantyre Branch of the Wildlife and Environmental Society of Malawi. The Society maintains the trails and trail signage, repairs bridges, provides a snare bounty and has obtained funding for eleven scout houses.

This lovely area provides a haven of peace away from the bustle and noise of Blantyre City and is the only mountain around Blantyre that still has indigenous forest and some wildlife.

Wildlife Reserves Africa Parks Limited manage the reserve under a PPP with Malawi Government. They have built a 19000ha sanctuary to accommodate 500 elephants and several other antelopes. During 2016-17 over 2000 animals will be moved to the Sanctuary. During the second half of 2017 African Parks will also open a day visitor facility in the Reserve and expand the number of trails available for day visitors and lodges as part of its tourism strategy. Tongole Wilderness Lodge will also open a Camping area in June 2017 for campers to visit the middle of the reserve.

Vwaza Wildlife Reserve Vwaza Wildlife Reserve, an area of marsh and plain, with a few rocky outcrops, is all of 400 sq miles (1000 sq km) and lies along the Zambian border north-west of Mzuzu.

Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve Nkhotakota, located close to the lake shore, only three hours from Lilongwe, is one of the two large game areas in the central region. Its vast 1800km2 consists of pristine Miombo woodland spread over rugged terrain and crossed by several rivers, which tumble down the edge of the Rift Valley escarpment as they make their way to the Lake. Although dominated by Miombo woodland the reserve has large areas of riverine vegetation and dambos with a small but perfectly preserved patch of Montane Forest capping the summit of Chipata Mountain.

The reserve has a wonderful mix of vegetation: forest and grassland, thin woodland and marsh. It is this rich habitat which attracts a splendid range of birdlife. Nearly 300 species of birds have been recorded including stork, heron and the white-faced tree duck. Herds of thirty or forty elephants are regularly to be seen and there are large numbers of hippos. Lake Kazuni, near the main entrance to the reserve is famous for its hippos. Buffalo are present in the reserve but their roaming habits make their sightings less easy to predict. Kazuni Safari Camp offer accommodation in this area.

This is a wonderful example of true wilderness, which particularly attracts those who wish to enjoy '

spectacular scenery and views from peaks across the reserve as well as adventurous walking along the rivers. Access to the reserve and lodges is possible with saloon cars during the dry season.

Game drive trails within the reserve require a decent clearance and require four-wheel drive vehicles. The preferred activity from the lodges in the park is walking. The range of mammals in the Reserve is as good as anywhere in Malawi with elephant, sable, waterbuck, warthog regularly seen. Buffalo, leopard, roan, zebra and a wide variety of smaller mammals also make regular

By Tabitha Stokes Breakaway from the well-worn track that steers Lilongwe weekenders to Salima and the beckoning lakeshore and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll

+ 1 life Reserve. Renowned for its birdlife youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a very real chance of glimps * 7 ancient tree stands or an open billed stork from the perfectly situated marshland viewing deck.

With no big game in the way, taking to two wheels is arguably the best way to enjoy 2000 hectares of tranquil bush, a beautiful patchwork quilt of open grass, marsh and woodland habitat. The network of easily navigable hiking and bike trails is abound with the likes of zebra, warthog, wildebeest, sable, nyala and oribi amongst other antelope and small carnivore species.

From secluded camping spots inviting braais under the stars to private villas with ensuite facilities the accommodation is as varied as the birdlife. Never mind a cursory nod to eco-friendliness this reserve

goes a step further in its quest for sustainability. Relying exclusively on solar energy, bringing fuel briquettes into the mix and supplying the restaurant with organic produce from the splendid vegetable garden this reserve has the environment at its heart. Venturing behind the scenes, the community outreach program aims to provide the reserveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbours with access to sustainable energy techniques + also serves as a base for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;One Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project, run by Lilongwe Wildlife Trust, the

8 " terface between human, animal (both wild and domestic) and environmental health. In its debut year, the project is focusing on monitoring wildlife health as well as disease prevalence in domestic animals and livestock living around the reserve.

So pack your binos and rest assured that as you emerge into a charming piece of wilderness you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret following that dirt track that veers North before Salima.

Entrance fee for Malawian citizens (adults/children) mwk 850/450, international citizens mwk 5000/2500. Camping available at $10 per person per night, A-frame miniature lodges sleeping four people at $60 per night or a six-sleeper self-catering villa at $150 per night.

Islam is one of the world’s major religions, and tradition of monotheism (belief in One God).

Islam has two major religious celebrations.

One of them, known as Eid al-Adha (Festival of Hajj, or annual pilgrimage to the city of Makkah (in modern-day Saudi Arabia).

The other celebration occurs after the completion of Ramadan, the Islamic month during which Muslims (believers in Islam) fast daily from dawn to sunset as part of an effort holiday is known as Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Breaking the Fast).

The Lunar Calendar Among the most important duties for a Muslim is fasting during the Islamic month of Ramadan, which is the ninth of the twelve months in the Islamic lunar calendar.1 Muslims use a lunar calendar for many of their religious observances. A new month in the lunar calendar is determined by the appearance of a new crescent moon.

Since this occurs every 29 or 30 days, the lunar month is generally 1 or 2 days shorter than a typical month in the Gregorian calendar. Similarly, a lunar year is about 11 days shorter than a typical Gregorian year.

As a result, dates of events in the Islamic lunar

year “move forward” about 11 days every year. For example, in 1995 Ramadan began on February 1, and in 1996, it began on January 22.

The Importance of Ramadan Ramadan is important for Muslims is because verses of the Holy Quran (the divine scripture) were revealed by Allah (God) to Prophet Muhammad (570-632 C.E.).

From time to time, Muhammad used to go out from Makkah, where he was born and where meditate in solitude. Like Abraham before him, he had never accepted his people’s worship of many gods, and felt a need to withdraw to

One night, while contemplating in a cave near Makkah, he heard a voice call out, telling him to “Read!” Muhammad protested that he was unable to read. The voice insisted again, and then a third time, and Muhammad found The voice was that of the angel Gabriel, and for an important and challenging mission?he was to call people to monotheism and righteousness.

Muslims consider the Quran to be God’s speech recorded in the Arabic language, and transmitted to humanity through Muhammad, who is considered the last of the prophets.

This tradition of God-chosen prophets or mesAdam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus.

Muslims believe that over a period of twentythree years, various verses and chapters of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad through Gabriel. The Quran is comprised of 114 chapters of varying length, with titles such as “Abraham,” “The Pilgrimage,” “Mary,” and “Repentance.”

During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset every day. This means not consuming food and drink, including water, during the daylight hours.

For married adults, it also includes refraining from marital relations during the hours of fasting (i.e. the daylight hours).

In the Arabic language, fasting is known as Sawm. Muslims arise early in the morning during Ramadan to have a pre-dawn breakfast meal, known as Suhoor. At the end of the day, the fast is completed by taking the Iftar meal, which usually includes dates, fresh fruits, appetizers, beverages and dinner.

Later in the evening, Muslims attend special nightly Tarawih prayers at their local Masjid.

Each night during Ramadan, approximately 1/30th of the Quran is recited in the Tarawih prayers, so that the entire scripture is recited in the course of the 29 or 30 days of the month.

Why Muslims Fast 1. It helps one to feel compassion for those who are less fortunate and underprivileged, since each day Muslims feel greater appreciation for what they have as a result of feeling hunger and thirst.

2. It allows one to build a sense of self-conthroughout life in dealing with temptations and peer pressure. Through fasting, Muslims learn to control their natural urges such as hunger and thirst, and thus are able to better resist temptations for things which are not necessary, such as drugs or other unhealthy or harmful substances and behaviors.

3. It offers a time for Muslims to “purify” their bodies as well as their souls, by developing a greater sense of humility, spirituality and community. Ramadan is a very spiritual time for Muslims, and often they invite each other to one another’s homes to break the fast and pray together. A greater sense of generosity and forgiveness is also characteristic of this time.

As with other duties in Islam, fasting becomes obligatory (i.e. one becomes accountable) after the age of puberty.

Eid al-Fitr After the end of Ramadan, a very festive and joyous holiday is celebrated by Muslims, Breaking the Fast. On the day of the Eid, Muslims attend special congregational prayers in the morning, wearing their nicest clothes.

After the completion of prayers and a special sermon, Muslims rise to greet and hug one another, saying “Eid Mubarak,” which means “Holiday Blessings.”

Later on, Muslim families visit each other’s homes, and have special meals together. Children are often rewarded with gifts, money, and sweets. Lights and other decorations mark the happy occasion.
