Emergency response in Mozambique after Cyclone Idai.
Cyclone Idai made landfall on Thursday, March 14 with sustained winds of over 110 mph. Stated the deadliest weather disaster of the year so far, homes and cities in the southeastern African country of Mozambique are flooded due to deadly storms brought by Tropical Cyclone Idai. Even before making landfall, flooding caused by the cyclone's weather system killed 122 people.
Cyclone Idai touched down in Mozambique, causing devastation across the country, and continuing through neighboring Malawi and Zimbabwe. Now, families throughout all three countries are displaced and in need of food, water and shelter. CRS and Caritas are providing support to affected families.

English: Mombasa Cycad
Chinese: ?, pronounced 'xiu de bu lang da tou su tie'
Czech: Píchoš Hildebrandtův
Digo: Mtsikitsi (mi)*
French: Encéphalartos de Hildebrandt
Swahili: Za Mimea (?)
*also used for (wild) oil palms, Elaeis guineensis
Distribution: Of the three species of cycad native to Kenya, this is the most common. It is primarily found in the coastal forest ecosystem; growing in the understory of seasonally-dry, deciduous or evergreen, coastal lowland savannah woodlands -an area of warm dry winters and hot summers. Rainfall is about 800-1100(-1400mm) per annum and mostly falls in summer, although in some areas (on Zanzibar) there is additional rainfall in the autumn. It grows in sandy plains, in red loam soil, on shallow-soiled limestone coral rock ('coral rag forest'), and on rocky hilltops to an altitude of 600m.
In the late 1990's to 2000's, information about this species found online and in popular works, primarily disseminated by conservation organisations, had it as rarer and the distribution more restricted than it was in reality. The IUCN reported in 1997 that it was rare in Tanzania and Uganda; omitting Kenya, mistakenly adding Uganda (due to changes in taxonomy, see below). PACSOA, the RBG Sydney and Gymnosperms.org [2009] also reported a too restricted distribution; adding Kenya but omitting Zanzibar and most of the rest of Tanzania south of the Tanga District in Tanzania (along the Kenyan border).
The most accurate distribution description I can give so far is that this cycad occurs in a strip along the coast from Witu in the coastal mainland portion of Lamu District of Kenya in the north, south to at least the Matumbi Highlands in the Rufiji District in the south of the Pwani Region in Tanzania, also occurring on the island of Zanzibar and possibly also Pemba. It may even occur much further south: there is a (1954) record of the plant growing along the coast near Mocuba, in Mugeba, in northern Mozambique. On the mainland it does not occur more than about 80km inland. In northern Zanzibar it is the dominant understory tree in the dry coral rag forest, being absent from the wetter southern quarter of the island -note that the type of habitat it naturally occurs in is said to be basically restricted to two (protected) localities.
There are also samples and reports of these plants growing at around 1200m in the gorge of the Mpanga River to the east of Lake George in Uganda. These specimens, however, were reclassified in 1995 as a new species endemic to this locality, Encephalartos whitelockii.
Legislation and Rarity: A CITES I species. In botanical works in the 1960's it was reported as 'common' from Lamu to Dar-Es-Salaam and on Zanzibar. The IUCN rated it as 'Rare' in Tanzania and Uganda in 1997, but this was a rather poorly researched assessment. In 2003 (published 2010?) the species was investigated again, in this assessment the broad and widespread occurrence was recognised, but it was reclassified as 'Near Threatened' because although it has a wide distribution, the actual area of occupancy was deemed much smaller, and there is continuing decline in the population. The distribution has now also been updated to include areas previously omitted and mistakenly added. The IUCN estimates about 20,000 mature individuals exist in the wild today [2003]. It is also cultivated as an ornamental to some extent in its native range.
Main Threats: Exotic/ornamental plant collectors, elephant damage, habitat destruction, and being cut for firewood. It is possible that there is low seedling recruitment due to seed collecting for human consumption, but this practice was reportedly only seen in northeastern Kenya during a time of famine in the 1970's. In the fenced Arabuko-Sokoke Forest in Kenya the therein enclosed elephants were found to be destroying the remaining plants. In the Kiwengwa-Pongwe Forest on Zanzibar cycads were found felled to facilitate access to more profitable lumber trees.
Protected Areas It Grows In:
Kenya: It can be found at at least two spots within Arabuko Sokoke Forest Reserve, which is said to harbour the largest population in the world. Probably occurs within Witu Forest in Lamu District.
Tanzania: Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park (Jozani Forest Reserve) and Kiwengwa-Pongwe Forest Reserve on Zanzibar. On the mainland it is found within Saadani National Park, Kiwengoma Forest Reserve, Gendagenda South Forest Reserve, and Amani Nature Forest Reserve.
Commercial Availability: Legally available pretty much worldwide; Africa, USA, Thailand, Europe, Australia.
Prices: As Encephalartos cycads go, this is a reasonably cheap species, going for around 70-100 Euros for a 5cm plant. Seeds go at 1 to 2 euro a piece, germinated seedlings about ten times that. Note that the documentation, postage and packaging involved will easily cost another 100 Euro and may take quite a long time.
