  • Update Report
    UPDATE REPORT DECEMBER, 2014 Mesoamerican Reef Fund www.marfund.org / [email protected] Picture by Ian Drysdale Dear Friends, We have finished one more productive year and we don’t want to let you go to your Holidays without knowing what progress we have had during the year. Please share among your network! Conservation of Marine Resources in Central America Project, Phase I The four protected areas that are part of Phase I of the Project have almost completed their third year of implementation. During this year, the most relevant advances in the areas, among many others were: the joint work that has begun between administrators, NGOs, stakeholders and coastal communities regarding management and of natural resources, community development and control and surveillance. Alternative productive activities have also started to generate income in some communities. Monitoring and environmental education programs have been consolidated. Because Phase I will end in December, 2016, in October, the areas began with the development of a Biennial Work Plan that will not only include field activities, but also closing activities in each protected area. With a biennial plan, the areas will be able to include sustainability plans towards continuity after the Project ends. The work plans are now being reviewed for approval. The mid-term evaluation of Phase I of the Project was held during the months of September, October and November. Key recommendations from this report are being taken into consideration in the biennial work plans, in order to improve and consolidate conservation actions in the areas. Technical and administrative follow up from our member funds and also our staff has been a key ingredient in the development of the field activities.

  • Ctenosaura Defensor (Cope, 1866)
    Ctenosaura defensor (Cope, 1866). The Yucatecan Spiny-tailed Iguana, a regional endemic in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, is distributed in the Tabascan Plains and Marshes, Karstic Hills and Plains of Campeche, and Yucatecan Karstic Plains regions in the states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán (Lee, 1996; Calderón-Mandujano and Mora-Tembre, 2004), at elevations from near “sea level to 100 m” (Köhler, 2008). In the original description by Cope (1866), the type locality was given as “Yucatán,” but Smith and Taylor (1950: 352) restricted it to “Chichén Itzá, Yucatán, Mexico.” This lizard has been reported to live on trees with hollow limbs, into which they retreat when approached (Lee, 1996), and individuals also can be found in holes in limestone rocks (Köhler, 2002). Lee (1996: 204) indicated that this species lives “mainly in the xeric thorn forests of the northwestern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula, although they are also found in the tropical evergreen forests of northern Campeche.” This colorful individual was found in low thorn forest 5 km N of Sinanché, in the municipality of Sinanché, in northern coastal Yucatán. Wilson et al. (2013a) determined its EVS as 15, placing it in the lower portion of the high vulnerability category. Its conservation status has been assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, and as endangered (P) by SEMARNAT. ' © Javier A.
