Resource 2: Facts comparing Pembrokeshire and Zanzibar
CLIMATE: Pembrokeshire’s climate is milder than other parts of Wales due to the maritime influence. Surrounded by sea on three sides, the summers are cool but the warming effect of the North Atlantic Drift helps to keep the winters mild. Annual range of temperature is small. Monthly average in January 7.2° C to 17.1°C in July South Westerly prevailing winds give Pembrokeshire a wet climate with an annual precipitation of over 1000mm per year.
CLIMATE: Zanzibar has a tropical climate with a mean annual rainfall of 1750mm. The climate is dominated by the movements of the Indian Ocean monsoons and characterized by wet and dry seasons. Temperatures do not vary greatly throughout the year ranging from a mean minimum of 19.4°C in September to a mean maximum of 33.6°C in January. Temperatures are generally lower between March and October.
RELIEF: Pembrokeshire is surrounded on three sides by a 259km rocky coastline ,which is dotted with islands such as Skomer and Skokholm. The Pembrokeshire coast was designated a National Park in 1952. The area is mainly lowland, with the highest land in the north of the county where the Preseli Hills rise to over 500m. Two large rivers, the Eastern and Western Cleddau, drain from the Preseli Hills and merge to become the Daugleddau. Near the coast the Daugleddau broadens into the Milford Haven Waterway, a fine example of a ria and one of the largest natural harbours in the world.
RELIEF: Formed mainly of coral limestone, Zanzibar island is flat and low lying. The highest point is 120m and lies where western and central areas have some low hills. A coast of rocky inlets and sandy beaches, with lagoons and mangrove swamps surrounds Zanzibar. On the eastern side of the island coral reefs lie beyond the shoreline.
Location: Pembrokeshire is a peninsula situated in the south west of Wales, UK. It has an area of 1,590 sq km Location: Zanzibar lies in the Indian Ocean off the North East coast of mainland Tanzania, in east Africa. It has an area of 1,666sq km. It is approximately 85km long and between 20 and 30km wide.
Biodiversity: Due to the relative lack of development Pembrokeshire has a rich variety of ecosystems. This includes a number of endangered species such as the bottle nosed dolphin, the harbour porpoise and the butterfly the marsh fritillary. However, loss of biodiversity can be attributed to increased agriculture and unsuitable practices e.g. the planting of coniferous woodland, draining of wetlands. The Pembrokeshire National Park Authority is engaged in a number of activities to bring land into economic use beneficial to biodiversity.
Biodiversty Two distinct ecological environments dominate Zanzibar Island. A coral rag area extends along the eastern and south side of the island, while a sandy loam area dominates the west side. The natural vegetation of the sandy loam areas was coastal forest while a mosaic of thicket forest is likely to have covered the coral rag. Human habitation has resulted in widespread clearance and only a few isolated pockets of indigenous forest remain. The last remaining areas of natural vegetation are protected as Jozani Reserve now designated a National Park. Some of the most endangered species of plants and animals can be found on Zanzibar island. The red colobus monkey, Zanzibar leopard, Ader’s duiker, a type of antelope, green and hawksbill turtles and giant tortoises.

Population and Settlement As of 2008 Pembrokeshire had a population of over 155,000 people. 21% of the population is currently 65 and over. The birth rate is lower than the death rate meaning the population would be in decline but for in–migration. Most of the inward migration is of elderly people for retirement. The county is sparsely populated with an average density of 71 people per sq km. The largest urban areas are the old market town of Haverfordwest, and the communities around Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock and Fishguard. Both Pembroke Dock and Fishguard are busy ferry ports to Ireland. Other coastal towns such as Tenby and Saundersfoot are popular tourist resorts.
Population and Settlement The population of Zanzibar was estimated to be 839,243 in 1998 with a growth rate of 3.3% per annum. This high growth rate means that Zanzibar has a young population with approximately 50% of the population under the age of 15. Population density is high (260 people per sq km) with the greatest concentrations in the more fertile non coral rag area. The largest settlement is Zanzibar Town (Stone Town) with about 100,000 inhabitants. Outside the town most people live in small villages
