Conservation strategy of Mantella aurantiaca vi

ABSTRACT

The first conservation strategy for Mantella aurantiaca was published in 2010 and

implemented between 2011 and 2015. The final evaluation was carried out in

October 2016 to measure the achievements against the set objectives. This

assessment will allow the update of the conservation strategy to be released for the

next five years (2017-2021). The new strategy contains updates on the status of the

species, including conservation management and threat analysis. This strategy also

contains new guidelines for conservation. Mantella aurantiaca is an Amphibian

species classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List, but it is also a

species important for international trade as the export of this magnificent species is

still open according to the convention of CITES (Appendix II), with an annual quota of

280 individuals (2015 quota). Apart from their presence in the Analamay-Ambatovy

mining site, Mantella aurantiaca is a conservation target for the two protected areas

(Mangabe-Ranomena-Sahasarotra and Torotorofotsy) in the Moramanga district. The

Mitsinjo captive breeding center also harbours populations from the Analamay-

Ambatovy mine site. Approximately 239 ponds are identified today which are

distributed in the South (Mangabe) and the North (Analamay-Ambatovy and

Torotorofotsy). The major threat to this species is the destruction of its natural habitat

of anthropogenic origin, namely rice fields, fire, “Tavy”, artisanal and industrial

mining. This strategy has a vision with five goals and nine main objectives. In each

objective there are actions to be carried out with specific indicators of achievement.

Conservation strategy of Mantella aurantiaca 1

INTRODUCTION

The establishment of a species conservation strategy is a framework for monitoring

the effective management of biodiversity. The Golden Mantella is a very threatened

species of amphibian endemic to Madagascar. The development of the first

conservation strategy for a five-year period was carried out in 2009, was published in

2010 and implemented between 2010 and 2015. This enabled usto identify a list of

priority activities in line with the situation of the species at the time. Participating in

this strategy demonstrates its effectiveness in mobilizing the various partners to

undertake relevant and effective actions. A mid-term evaluation was carried out in

2013 in order to measure the results and impacts of the actions undertaken, and to

identify further efforts required. The strategy itself ended in 2015, and a final

assessment is required to determine the impacts of the strategy on the conservation

of the species, and also to identify any problems which were encountered. Mantella

aurantiaca is an endemic amphibian species of Madagascar known only in the

Moramanga district, Alaotra-Mangoro Region, in the Central East part of the Island. It

is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) in the Red List of Threatened Species

since 2012 (IUCN, 2012). Since 1995, the species is listed in CITES ANNEX II and

its export in international trade is based on an annual quota system sanctioned by

this Convention. In 2010, the export of Mantella aurantiaca was suspended by CITES

due to insufficient data to justify its quota. CITES calls on Madagascan authorities to

produce a document called non-detriment findings which must contain all available

information on: biology, ecology, management mode and collection sites of Mantella

aurantiaca before accept its export quota. The existence of this first conservation

strategy is one of the key factors within the document that was handed over to CITES

in 2013. Subsequently, the suspension was lifted with the reopening of its export, and

the quota was 250 Individuals for the year 2014 and then 280 individuals from 2015.

Since 2008 the Madagasikara Voakajy team has carried out several research and

conservation activities on this highly endangered species in collaboration with the

various stakeholders in the conservation of biodiversity in Madagascar, in order to

ensure the sustainable management of this species. As the validity period of the first

strategy has expired, we conducted the final evaluation always adopting the same

methods and participants during its development to measure achievement against

objectives. This assessment will make it possible to update the status of the species

and to develop new actions necessary for its conservation.

A A B C


1.4 Discovery

The information collected on the reproduction of the species in the wild is limited

except for its use of the ponds between October and April. Both sexes aggregate at

the ponds before the fall of the rain, usually from the beginning of November.

Females are observed at the ponds only between November and February

(Randrianavelona et al., 2010). They then climb gradually into the adjacent forest as

soon as the ponds are flooded. The males also perform this same dynamism, but

their number in the vicinity of the pond decreases from April.

In captivity, in the case of Mitsinjo center, the eggs are deposited on the leaf litter or

in pots provided outside the water. The duration of egg incubation is about 10 days,

transformation into free swimming tadpole varies from 3 to 5 days. The tadpole life

cycle lasts between 70 - 90 days at an average temperature of 24 ° C. The breeding

period recorded in the terrarium extends from July to August, to resume in October. A

pregnant female can lay 45 to 90 eggs in each pond. The diet of Mantella aurantiaca

in captivity is of higher quantity and quality when compared to what the species

experiences in the wild. The use of locusts, Drosophila and Collembola with added

vitamins is favorable to reproduction.

1.5 Description

1.5.1 Morphology

Mantella aurantiaca is an attractive little frog with a bright colouring varying between

bright orange, yellow and red (Vences et al., 1999). The body length is usually

between 17-29 mm, but sometimes large females reach 31 mm (Glaw and Vences.

2007). The species does not really show any sexual dimorphism, but males are

known by the existence of the femoral glands and its small size compared to the

female. The colour of the juvenile is brown.

1.5.2 Genetics

Molecular studies of Mantella aurantiaca previously demonstrated that they are

distinct from Mantella milotympanum and Mantella crocea with some putative hybrids

with Mantella crocea for the population of Southern Mantella aurantiaca in

Andranomandry and Andranomena area (Chiari et al., 2004, Rabemananjara et al.,

2008). These studies also show that there are two subpopulations including the

northern group (Analamay-Torotorofotsy) and the southern group (Andranomandry-


Andranomena- Besariaka) with hybrids with the pond of Menalamba. These two

groups are separated by the national road N ° 2 (RN2). Adaptations in captivity

reduce the physical condition of frogs and are one of many reasons for the low

success rate of reintroductions. According to a recent study (Passos et al., 2017) on

the response of females to the call of the male, there is a difference between female

behavior in captivity and in the wild. The response is shorter for individuals in the

wild. This difference could be detrimental to the reproduction of Mantella after

reintroduction of individuals caught in the wild. Another publication (Passos et al.,

2017) dictates that it is necessary to test and compare a significant behavioral

response in captive and wild individuals of the same species. "Thanatosis" is an anti-

predator strategy that reduces the risk of death by predation, which is a common

behavioral response in frogs.

1.5.3 Habitat

It is strictly a terrestrial species of primary and secondary tropical forest, and is

usually found in wet and swampy areas. Within their habitat aquatic plants and

emergent plants present a quality of refuges ideal for adult Mantella aurantiaca as

well as tadpoles. In the Ambatovy zone, these plants are often composed of

Osmunda regalis, Medinil aff parvifolia Baker, Pandanus, Stellatus Marteli,

Sphaerostephanos unitus, Dianella ensifolia, Ethulia conyzoides and Cyperus

prolifer, Bazzania decrescens, Pyrrhobryum spiniform and Rhodobryum oil. Other

species may be added to the list but they always provide a microclimate (Humidity,

Temperature, UV and Lux) favorable to the terrestrial amphibian.

1.5.4 Value of Species and Function

M. aurantiaca is a predator of litter and mite fauna, Amphipods, Collembola,

Formicidae (non-winged), Diptera, Thysanoptera and Isopoda.

2. Conservation Management

At the end of the research and conservation activities carried out since 2010, new

sites have been identified and new management and management plans have been

put in place; Among them, the final creation of the AP Mangabe-Ranomena-

Sahasarotra under Decree No. 725 of July 23, 2015 and the AP Torotorofotsy under

Decree No. 808 of May 05, 2015, the program of rescue by release in the zone


Conservation of Analamay-Ambatovy as well as the captive breeding of Mantella

aurantiaca in Andasibe in the Mitsinjo Center.

2.1 Current distribution

Two hundred and thirty-nine (239) ponds of Mantella aurantiaca are currently

identified, including one hundred and thirty-three (133) at Mangabe, ninety-two (92)

at Ambatovy, seven (7) at Torotorofotsy and seven (7) in the Analamay-Mantadia

Forest Corridor (CFAM).

Moramanga district


2.2 Identifying populations

Mantella aurantiaca is currently composed of two separated populations that are

found in four sites:

- One is south of the town of Moramanga and closely associated with the Ranomena

and Sahamarirana Rivers.

- The other is located in the north of Moramanga such as Ambatovy, Torotorofotsy

and the Analamay-Mantadia Forest Corridor and is associated with the Sakalava,

Mahatakatra, Marinjo, Antsampandrano and Menalamba rivers.

Mangabe: (133 ponds: 82 in the strict conservation zone, 29 in the buffer zone, and

22 in the peripheral zone).

The Mangabe forest, with its surface area of 27,346 ha, is the only forest that crosses

the boundary between Moramanga and Anosibe An'Ala. The northern part of this

massif is included in the commune of Mangarivotra and that of Ambohibary, while its

southern part is limited by the administrative boundary of the district of Moramanga

and Anosibe An'Ala. Two ponds are to the west of Mangoro (Fatakana, commune

Vodiriana).

Ambatovy: (92 ponds: 53 in the strict conservation zone, 17 in the mining footprint

zone, 10 in the lease zone, 17 in the Analamay-Mantadia Forest Corridor “CFAM”

and two in Torotorofotsy).

The ponds in Ambatovy are divided between three communes Ambohibary,

Morarano and Andasibe.

Torotorofotsy: seven ponds.

The site of Torotorofotsy, the Ramsar site since 02 February 2005, is a new

protected area of which Asity Madagascar is the delegated manager. Stretching over

an area of 9776 ha, the Torotorofotsy marsh is located in the Fokontany of

Menalamba, Rural Commune of Andasibe, District of Moramanga, Province of

Toamasina, Madagascar. Torotorofotsy contains seven ponds of Mantella

aurantiaca, including the famous site of Menalamba.

Analamay-Mantadia Forest Corridor “CFAM” (seven ponds)

CFAM covers an area of 140.26 km² of which 68.23 km² is constituted by a

conservation pond. This Forest Corridor links the ponds of the Analamay-Ambatovy


Conservation pond, the Northwest, North and Northeast parts of the Torotorofotsy

Ramsar Site and the Mantadia National Park. The management effort of this forest

area is supported by Ambatovy Mining Company in partnership with local

stakeholders. With the exception of the Mantella aurantiaca pond in

Antsampandrano, the six other ponds are now being inventoried after 2010. The

translocation pond for rescue of individuals from two MP7 and MP8 sites in the

Ambatovy mining footprint are part of this population, 2,839 individuals of Mantella

aurantiaca were saved there.

3. Threats Analysis

The emigration of the human population in search of fields for cultivation has become

a remarkable threat in recent years. Some have settled permanently and converted

the ponds into rice fields (Torotorofotsy pond). In the case of Mangabe, after periods

of sensitization and repression, the amount of emigration decreases, AP Mangabe

obtained the decree of creation definitive is this supposed to mean obtained

protection?. A Dina is sanctioned by the court of Moramanga, Madagasikara Voakajy

obtained the management delegation in 2017.

3.1 Tavy ou culture sur brulis

No-resident farmers practiced “tavy” by converting ponds into rice fields or cultivated

fields (the case of the Mangabe AP). In most cases, they are not officially registered

as inhabitants in the area administration, and do not respect the established

management plan.

Figure: Tavy in Avolo (by Eddie R., 2015)

3.2 Rice field

The transformation of the nesting marshes of Mantella aurantiaca into rice fields

reduces their breeding site. The clearing of the rainforest over the watershed

upstream of their nesting site destroys their hibernation and refuge.


3.3 Fire and Charcoal

The fire seriously alters the structure of the vegetation of the humid forest in the

forests occupied by Mantella aurantiaca. The burning of litter and dead wood reduces

the quality of habitat.

Figure: Fire in Ranomena (A, B) and Charcoal in pk 21(C, D) (by Eddie R., 2015)

3.4 Gold mining

Since 2010, the sites of Mantella aurantiaca are threatened by artisanal and illegal

gold mining. These activities lead to the degradation of the aquatic habitat of

Mantella aurantiaca due to the displacement of the river bed, backfilling and

increased turbidity of the water. This phenomenon concerns populations of the

species in Mangabe, Torotorofotsy, CFAM and CAZ. In Mangabe, Mantella

aurantiaca ponds have also been affected by this threat. Periodic patrol missions by

Patrollers, forestry and policy improved the situation. Since 2012, restorations of

these sites are carried out annually. In 2016, a study on the impact of gold mining

was carried out. The objective of this study was to determine the impacts of gold

mining on the quality and quantity of water and also on the life history of the local

population (recruitment, health and relationship).

Figure: Photo gold mining in Andasindrainidonaka- Mangabe (by Eddie R., 2015)


3.5 Industrial mine

Some Mantella aurantiaca ponds in Analamay-Ambatovy will disappear due to

clearing activities carried out by the Ambatovy project for the extraction of nickel and

cobalt minerals. Rescue measures have been implemented since September 2011,

according to the Mantella management plan of the mining company, and a Rescue

Procedure Manual has been developed with the scientific teams. This activity is

carried out in collaboration with the specialized agencies, and the mitigation measure

continues until all species threatened with extinction in the mine footprint are

transferred to the receptor sites located in the conservation area.

3.6 Use of the biological resource

Mangabe and Torotorofotsy have been the traditional collection sites of Mantella

aurantiaca, according to surveys of villagers, to satisfy international trade. The

impacts of this collection on natural populations are not exactly known but considered

minimal (Andreone et al., 2005). It is evident that the exploitation could have negative

impacts on the survival of Mantella aurantiaca when combined with the destruction of

the habitat. Since 2012, a project to set up a collection pond for Mantella aurantiaca

has been established. By 2015, Mantella aurantiaca has a quota of 280 individuals.

The defined sites are all in the buffer zone of the Mangabe-Ranomena-Sahasarotra

Protected Area.

3.7 Climate change

The impact of climate change on biodiversity focuses on at least seven strategic

factors, such as changes in population structure, changes in range, changes in

biological rhythms, invasive species proliferation and changes in the structure of

surrounding environment. For the case of Mantella aurantiaca, a preliminary

modelling analysis of its distribution using the projection of the climate for 2050

indicates a decrease in the zone with high probability of sheltering the species, but

also a displacement of the viable zone probable for the species to occur in the East.

The effect of climate change can be more severe by adding the rate of degradation of

the surrounding environment because Mantella aurantiaca depends on a specific

habitat.


B. DECLARATION OF VISION

Our vision of Mantella aurantiaca is that the population and its habitats be conserved,

restored and equitably managed in a legal sustainable and manner through the

services and participation of all stakeholders.

C. GOALS

Goal 1: All habitats of Mantella aurantiaca are effectively conserved within protected

areas.

saved and replaced; the destroyed habitats are restored to maintain genetic diversity,

viable population size and ecological function.

Goal 3: The sites of Mantella aurantiaca are protected from diseases and invasive

species.

Goal 4: The rational and legal exploitation of Mantella aurantiaca and its habitat will

be managed equitably.

Goal 5: Have effective collaboration and effective and efficient sharing among all

stakeholders to ensure sound management.

D. GOAL, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITES

Goal 1: All habitats of Mantella aurantiaca are effectively conserved in

protected areas.

Objective 1. Involve local populations in all procedures and implementation of

the management plan for each site and / or conservation area, within the next

five years
