  • The Chocó-Darién Conservation Corridor
    July 4, 2011 The Chocó-Darién Conservation Corridor A Project Design Note for Validation to Climate, Community, and Biodiversity (CCB) Standards (2nd Edition). CCB Project Design Document – July 4, 2011 Executive Summary Colombia is home to over 10% of the world’s plant and animal species despite covering just 0.7% of the planet’s surface, and has more registered species of birds and amphibians than any other country in the world. Along Colombia’s northwest border with Panama lies the Darién region, one of the most diverse ecosystems of the American tropics, a recognized biodiversity hotspot, and home to two UNESCO Natural World Heritage sites. The spectacular rainforests of the Darien shelter populations of endangered species such as the jaguar, spider monkey, wild dog, and peregrine falcon, as well as numerous rare species that exist nowhere else on the planet. The Darién is also home to a diverse group of Afro-Colombian, indigenous, and mestizo communities who depend on these natural resources. On August 1, 2005, the Council of Afro-Colombian Communities of the Tolo River Basin (COCOMASUR) was awarded collective land title to over 13,465 hectares of rainforest in the Serranía del Darién in the municipality of Acandí, Chocó in recognition of their traditional lifestyles and longstanding presence in the region. If they are to preserve the forests and their traditional way of life, these communities must overcome considerable challenges. During 2001- 2010 alone, over 10% of the natural forest cover of the surrounding region was converted to pasture for cattle ranching or cleared to support unsustainable agricultural practices.

Nematode Parasites of Anurans from the Farm of the Banco National Park (South-Eastern Côte d’Ivoire) Keywords: Parasitic Nematodes, Amphibians, Rainforest, Banco National Park, Côte d’Ivoire ABSTRACT Kary Venance OUNGBE*, Kassi Georges This study proposes to know the parasitic Nematodes of the BLAHOUA, Valentin N’DOUBA Anurans from the fish farm of the Banco National Park, south-eastern Cote d’Ivoire. Spanning a one year period Department of Biological Sciences, Laboratory of (November 2016 to October 2017), the dissection of 354 Hydrobiology, Faculty of Science and Technology, anurans specimens belonging to 23 species revealed 11 parasitic nematode taxa (Amplicaecum africanum, Anisakis University of Félix Houphoüet-Boigny, Abidjan, Côte simplex, Camallanus dimitrovi, Chabaudus leberrei, d’Ivoire. Cosmocerca ornata, Filaria sp., Oswaldocruzia sp., Oxysomatium brevicaudatum, Rhabdias bufonis, Rhabdias Submission: 21 November 2019 sp1. and Rhabdias sp 2). The recorded global prevalence Accepted: 27 November 2019 (68.36%) shows a high parasitic infestation of nematodes in anurans. This infestation is influenced by the microhabitats Published: 30 December 2019 and parasitic specificity of the Nematodes. Most of the Nematodes harvested in the small intestine have a broad spectrum infestation. They parasitize several species of different families. They therefore have a broad or euryxene specificity. The prevalence of the Anurans is higher in the rainy season than in the dry season. The presence of water in www.ijsrm.humanjournals.com the environments creates favorable conditions for the development of the Anurans. Thus, the increase in the number of host species causes an increase in the number of parasitic Helminth species.
