16 MSc project: Development of minimum intervention techniques to reduce variability in Mopane worms supply for harvesting. By Zwannda Nethavhani Supervisor: Prof Stefan Foord University of Venda Co supervisor: Dr Ruan Veldtman SANBI
17 Research objectives and aims of MSc i. Develop techniques to reduce variability in mopane worm supply for harvesting in both space and time. ii. Develop an understanding of mopane worm population dynamics and spatial structuring. iii. Quantify the effectiveness of sleeves to reduce I III instar mortality in the field. iv. To determine the spatial structure of mopane worm. v. To compare mortality rate of seeded local population to that of established populations

19 Preventing mortality from parasitism
20 Increasing the benefits from mopane worm harvesting
21 Provincial Municipality Village Neighbourhood
22 Watch this space Semi-domestication of mopane worm can increase the amount of biomass available for harvesting This means that more mopane veld can potentially be used as mopane worm forage as a biodiversity compatible resource use In the face of climate change population management can reduce variability in mopane worm supply and thus improve food security. This case study has many cross cutters that can highlight the importance of mapping EI that supports food security and ensuring sustainable benefits from biodiversity
