  • Local perceptions of the cultural and ecological significance of Southern Mistbelt Forests in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Open Access•Siboniso Magoso, Mfundo S T Maseko et al.•ARTICLE•Trees Forests and People•2025

    Globally, forests are threatened by multiple disturbance factors. These include anthropogenic activities such as deforestation, often driven by poverty and rapid population expansion. In eastern South Africa, many rural communities are located near natural forest patches, and if not, are within travelling distance. We investigated people’s perceptions of Southern Mistbelt Forests’ value, cultural and ecological services, and importance with varyi…

  • Exploring public perceptions of owl species in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Open Access•Lindiswa Buthelezi, Mfundo S T Maseko et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Ethnobiology and…•2025•References: 10

    Future conservation initiatives should lean more towards implementing culturally sensitive education programmes that aim to communicate the ecological importance of owls, while also respectfully engaging with beliefs about witchcraft and religious beliefs linked to owl species. These have the potential to improve people's tolerance of owl species and also foster positive perceptions and interactions with owl species

  • Nest characteristics of African crowned eagles and black sparrowhawks in urban mosaic landscapes

    Open Access•Mfundo S T Maseko, Manqoba M Zungu et al.•ARTICLE•Landscape and Urban Planning•2024

    The increase in human population and continuous landscape transformations, especially in urban areas, will result in most of the natural habitats being degraded, significantly reduced in size and lost. Consequently, constraints in acquiring resources such as nesting sites and food may occur. In this study, we investigated the nesting site characteristics of two raptor species in the urban mosaic landscape of Durban, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, t…
