PICTURES Martin Sagrado – June 2014 LOCATION San Martin region, Peru . In the heart of the Andean Amazon, Peru, the headwaters of the Amazon; . In the region of San Martin, one of the most deforested regions of Peru, but with areas of extensive primary forests still intact, threatened by deforestation; . High conservation value area with many endemic species and several threatened species (flora and fauna); . Procurement of vital resources for downstream and surrounding communities (in particular water resources); Martin Sagrado – June 2014 LOCATION San Martin region, Peru . The project is divided into 7 areas of conservation. It concerns the preservation of 380 000 hectares of forest. Martin Sagrado – June 2014 SPECIFIC CONTEXT Deforestation and degradation : - 0.6% / year . According to the Regional Government of San Martin, about 26% of the Region San Martin was deforested in 2004. Project assessments, interviews and participatory rural appraisals indicate that at least nine deforestation threats and six agents of deforestation have been and continue to be active in the San Martin Province (cf table). Martin Sagrado – June 2014 PROJECT OBJECTIVES Developing an alternative economic model for communities . Controlling and monitoring deforestation within the project site and protecting forests with high conservation value; . Improving the quality of life of the families that live in these areas by supporting them to develop a range of livelihood activities including sustainable forest management, agro-forestry, non timber activities and livelihood development in the reserve; .

The project is a community-led and implemented project, which involves the communities in the project and buffer area. 20 communities, with nearly 10 000 people are involved in the project. These are disadvantaged communities, essentially made up of small-scale coffee and cocoa farmers who own 1 to 5 hectares of land, of which 0,5 to 3 hectares are being cultivated. They are at the core of project design, decision process, prioritization and implementation of activities. The objective of the project is to empower these communities and give them the opportunity to manage their environment and conserve the project area over the long-term. Martin Sagrado – June 2014 LOCAL PARTNER Fundacion Amazonia Viva (FUNDAVI) . The Amazonia Viva Foundation is a Peruvian non-profit foundation created in 2011. It is constituted by the associations and cooperatives involved in reforestation and forest conservation projects in San Martin region : ORO VERDE cooperative, and local community associations (APAHUI, APAP, APAPMASAR). The Fundacion Amazonia Viva coordinates the project activities with all communities, implements a global scheme for project management and a prioritization of activities, and manages the allocation of funds. It is in charge of involving communities in the project zone, through visits to communities with collection of data, feedback and suggestions, and organizations of regular general assemblies for all communities involved in the project. Martin Sagrado – June 2014 CERTIFICATION Double validation VCS and CCBA Biocorredor Martin Sagrado is the 4th REDD+ project in the world to reach the double validation VCS and CCBA (Gold standard level): .

  • Evolution of Agroforestry As a Modern Science
    Chapter 2 Evolution of Agroforestry as a Modern Science Jagdish C. Dagar and Vindhya P. Tewari Abstract Agroforestry is as old as agriculture itself. Many of the anecdotal agro- forestry practices, which are time tested and evolved through traditional indigenous knowledge, are still being followed in different agroecological zones. The tradi- tional knowledge and the underlying ecological principles concerning indigenous agroforestry systems around the world have been successfully used in designing the improved systems. Many of them such as improved fallows, homegardens, and park systems have evolved as modern agroforestry systems. During past four decades, agroforestry has come of age and begun to attract the attention of the international scientific community, primarily as a means for sustaining agricultural productivity in marginal lands and solving the second-generation problems such as secondary salinization due to waterlogging and contamination of water resources due to the use of excess nitrogen fertilizers and pesticides. Research efforts have shown that most of the degraded areas including saline, waterlogged, and perturbation ecolo- gies like mine spoils and coastal degraded mangrove areas can be made productive by adopting suitable agroforestry techniques involving highly remunerative compo- nents such as plantation-based farming systems, high-value medicinal and aromatic plants, livestock, fishery, poultry, forest and fruit trees, and vegetables. New con- cepts such as integrated farming systems and urban and peri-urban agroforestry have emerged. Consequently, the knowledge base of agroforestry is being expanded at a rapid pace as illustrated by the increasing number and quality of scientific pub- lications of various forms on different aspects of agroforestry. It is both a challenge and an opportunity to scientific community working in this interdisciplinary field.

I present here, nesting records for 15 species of psittacids that co-occur in southeastern Peru. The psittacid breeding season in this area lasted from June to April, with smaller species nesting earlier than larger species. Why smaller species bred earlier is uncertain, though it may be related to interspeci®c competition for nest sites or variations in food availability.

Raine Received 25 April 2006, final revision accepted 28 September 2006 Cotinga 28 (2007): 53–58 La reserva de la zona de Tambopata-Candamo (RZTC), que se ubicada en el dpto. Madre de Dios, sureste de Perú, se trata de un espacio famoso por su amplia diversidad de flora y fauna. Aquí yo describo los informes recopilados acerca de los nidos correspondientes a 17 especies de aves subtrop- icales durante un proyecto ornitológico desarrollado entre mayo de 2001 y mayo de 2002. Estos informes sobre nidos abarcan una amplia gama de familias e incluyen descripciones de varias especies de las que actualmente hay disponible muy poca información. En el caso concreto del Celeus flavus, se trata aparentemente de la primera publicación de una descripción de los nidos de esta especie. Esperamos que estos informes sean útiles para avanzar en el conocimiento de la avifauna subtropical. Information on the breeding of Neotropical birds is fringed by secondary floodplain (selectively logged important both to increase our cumulative 20 years ago and thus supporting plant species knowledge and for our understanding of their more typical of disturbed habitats). Species found conservation requirements. Though many breeding in primary floodplain include Iriartea deltoidea, data have been presented in field guides and other Pseudolmedia laevis, Dipteryx micrantha and Ceiba books, and the scientific literature, there are still pentandra. Secondary floodplain is characterised many species concerning which we know relatively by such species as Ficus insipida, Jacaritia little.

Although considered common and widespread in aviculture, little is known about their social interactions in the wild. Claylicks provide an ideal setting at which to study wild bird behaviour, with the caveat that the claylick itself may impact on social interactions. We observed macaws around two claylicks in the lowland Amazon. Macaw behaviour differed significantly on the surface of the claylick compared to the surrounding vegetation. The position of a bird in the surrounding vegetation may also influence behaviour, with the canopy level associated more with preening and inter-pair bonding interactions like allopreening. Aggression increases closer to, and on the claylick, although a high degree of submissiveness appears to accommodate bird proximity on the claylick itself.

  • Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Alvaro J. Duque M
    Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Alvaro J. Duque M. Introduction 1.1 INTRODUCTION Northwestern Amazonian forest conservation: a challenge for ecologists The actual deforestation rates in Amazonian rain forests are extremely high. The worst case scenario could lead to an almost total disappearance of the largest tropical forest mass that nowadays exists on the earth, in a relatively short time (Laurance et al. 2001). Patterns of rain forest plant diversity in northwestern (NW) Amazonia have particular importance as plant diversity in this area reaches exceptional high values per unit area (Gentry 1988a, Valencia et al. 1994, ter Steege et al. 2003). To guarantee an effective conservation planning, basic knowledge on the distribution of individual species and species assemblages is necessary. In spite of the fact that information concerning to plant communities has much increased in the last decade, most studies have focused on trees because they are the most conspicuous elements in the forests (Gentry 1988b, Duivenvoorden 1995, 1996, Pitman et al. 1999, 2001, ter Steege et al. 2000, Condit et al. 2002). However, it is well known that vascular plant diversity in tropical rain forests is also well represented by other growth forms, such as climbers, shrubs, epiphytes and herbs (Gentry and Dobson 1987, Duivenvoorden 1994, Balslev et al. 1998, Galeano et al. 1998). In addition to this lack of knowledge on non-tree growth forms, most studies have been based on different methodological approaches at individual species or community level, different sample designs, and different spatial scales, which hampers the comparisons and extrapolations among independent case studies. The Pleistocene and Miocene-Pliocene climate history has been considered as the cornerstone to understand the origin of the plant and animal biodiversity and biogeography in Amazonian rain forests (Haffer 1969, Colinvaux 1987, Van der Hammen and Absy 1994, Hooghiemstra and van der Hammen 1998).
