Hábitats Críticos para el Tiburón Martillo. López, 2011 RESUMEN El tiburón martillo (Sphyrna lewini) es una especie cosmopolita que habita en aguas cálidas tropicales y subtropicales. En zonas costeras los juveniles y adultos son capturados por artes de pesca artesanales y camaroneras; mientras que en aguas pelágicas, los adultos son vulnerables a las líneas largas o palangres. En la actualidad S. lewini está siendo protegido en islas oceánicas del Pacifico Este Tropical (PET), como Isla del Coco y las Galápagos, áreas donde los adultos transcurren en las estaciones de limpieza. Sin embargo, aún no han sido identificadas, ni protegidas, áreas utilizadas por los juveniles de esta especie en la zona costera del PET. Debido a lo anterior, este proyecto identificó y evaluó hábitats críticos costeros utilizados por tiburones y rayas, en especial por S. lewini en Golfo Dulce, a fin de recomendar estrategias de manejo para su conservación. En la primera etapa (marzo-mayo 2010) se recolectó Conocimiento Ecológico Tradicional (CET) por medio de 52 encuestas y dos talleres en diferentes comunidades.

    Shape of the Subducted Rivera and Cocos Plates in Southern Mexico

    JOURNALOF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 100, NO. B7, PAGES 12,357-12,373, JULY 10, 1995 Shapeof the subductedRivera and Cocosplates in southern Mexico: Seismic and tectonicimplications Mario Pardo and Germdo Sufirez Insfitutode Geoffsica,Universidad Nacional Aut6noma de M6xico Abstract.The geometry of thesubducted Rivera and Cocos plates beneath the North American platein southernMexico was determined based on the accurately located hypocenters oflocal and te!eseismicearthquakes. The hypocenters ofthe teleseisms were relocated, and the focal depths of 21 eventswere constrainedusing a bodywave inversion scheme. The suductionin southern Mexicomay be approximated asa subhorizontalslabbounded atthe edges by the steep subduction geometryof theCocos plate beneath the Caribbean plate to the east and of theRivera plate beneath NorthAmerica to thewest. The dip of theinterplate contact geometry is constantto a depthof 30 kin,and lateral changes in thedip of thesubducted plate are only observed once it isdecoupled fromthe overriding plate. On thebasis of theseismicity, the focal mechanisms, and the geometry ofthe downgoing slab, southern Mexico may be segmented into four regions ß(1) theJalisco regionto thewest, where the Rivera plate subducts at a steepangle that resembles the geometry of theCocos plate beneath the Caribbean plate in CentralAmerica; (2) theMichoacan region, where thedip angleof theCocos plate decreases gradually toward the southeast, (3) theGuerrero-Oaxac.a region,bounded approximately by theonshore projection of theOrozco and O'Gorman

It meets in ordinary session every three years to perform the functions conferred on it by the Statutes. Since the inaugural meeting at Fontainebleau, France in 1948, the General Assembly has met in Brussels, Belgium (1950); Caracas, Venezuela (1952); Copenhagen, Denmark (1954); Edinburgh, Scotland (1956); Athens, Greece (1958); Warsaw, Poland (1960); Nairobi, Kenya (1963); Lucerne, Switzerland (1966); New Delhi, India (1969); Banff, Canada (1972); Kinshasa, Zaire (1975); Ashkhabad, USSR (1978); and Christchurch, New Zealand (1981). It met in extraordinary session in Geneva, Switzerland, in April 1977. The 16th Session of the General Assembly, held in conjunction with the 16th Technical Meeting of IUCN, took place in Madrid, Spain, from 5-14 November 1984. The thrust of IUCN's effort set by the 15th Session of the General Assembly was directed towards constructing the means for practical integration of conservation with all aspects of development; requiring new mechanisms such as the Conservation for Development Centre, involvement in other disciplines, more purposeful coordination of IUCN's components and a long term perspective for IUCN's priorities.
  • Cocos Island National Park Costa Rica

    Cocos Island National Park Costa Rica

    COCOS ISLAND NATIONAL PARK COSTA RICA Cocos Island, isolated 530 km southwest of the coast of Costa Rica, is the only island in the tropical eastern Pacific with a rainforest. It also possessed the richest and most extensive coral reef in the east Pacific. Its productive waters are a distribution centre for marine larvae and hold large aggregations of sharks. Its many interactions with the surrounding seas make it an ideal laboratory for studying biological processes. It is also a magnificent diving site and one of the best places in the world to see large pelagic species such as sharks, rays, tuna and dolphins. COUNTRY Costa Rica NAME Cocos Island National Park NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SITE 1997: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria ix, x. 2002: Marine Zone extended by 100,000 ha. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE [pending] The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription: Justification for Inscription The Committee inscribed Cocos Island National Park under natural criteria (ix) and (x) because of the critical habitats the site provides for marine wildlife including large pelagic species, especially sharks. INTERNATIONAL DESIGNATION 1998: Designated a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention (99,623 ha). IUCN MANAGEMENT CATEGORY II National Park BIOGEOGRAPHICAL PROVINCE Cocos Island (8.43.13) GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION The island is 532 km southwest of Puntarenas on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, and 630 km northeast of the Galapagos Islands. The site covers the whole island and 25 km out to sea all around. Centred on 5°31'08”N by 87° 04'18”W.

Ans (c) Explanation: The Haryana government launched Asia's First 'Gyps Vulture Reintroduction Programme' at Jatayu Conservation Breeding Centre, Pinjore. SHANKAR IAS ACADEMY The Centre has become prominent vulture breeding and conservation centre in the country-after successfully breeding Himalayan Griffon Vultures-an old world vulture in the family of Accipitridae-in captivity. The government had released two Himalayan Griffon Vultures The Himalayan Griffon is closely related to the critically endangered resident Gyps species of vultures but is not endangered. Two Himalayan Griffons have been in captivity for over a decade and have been in the aviary with resident Gyps vultures. These birds were wing-tagged and were leg-ringed for identification.
