2012 Espora De Un Hongo Micorrízico Arbuscular Aún No Descrito Para La Ciencia, Asociado a La Vegetación De Sabanas Y Matorrales De Venezuela 2012 Espora de un hongo micorrízico arbuscular aún no descrito para la ciencia, asociado a la vegetación de sabanas y matorrales de Venezuela. Se destaca por poseer un escudo de germinación y suspensor bulboso amarillos, lo que facilita su reconocimiento en las muestras de campo.

  • The FARC and Colombia's Illegal Drug Trade
    LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM © JOHN VIZCANO/Reuters The FARC and Colombia’s Illegal Drug Trade By John Otis November 2014 Introduction In 2014, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, Latin America’s oldest and largest guerrilla army known as the FARC, marked the 50th anniversary of the start of its war against the Colombian government. More than 220,000 people have been killed1 and more than five million people uprooted2 from their homes in the conflict, which is the last remaining guerrilla war in the Western Hemisphere. However, this grim, half-century milestone coincides with peace negotiations between the Colombian government and the FARC that began in Havana, Cuba, in November 2012. The Havana talks have advanced much farther than the three previous efforts to negotiate with the FARC and there is a growing sense that a final peace treaty is now likely.3 So far, the two sides have reached agreements on three of the five points on the negotiating agenda, including an accord to resolve an issue that helps explain why the conflict has lasted so long: The FARC’s deep involvement in the taxation, production, and trafficking of illegal drugs. On May 16, 2014, the government and the FARC signed an agreement stating that under the terms of a final peace treaty, the two sides would work in tandem to eradicate coca, the plant used to make cocaine, and to combat cocaine trafficking in areas under guerrilla control. The FARC “has promised to effectively contribute, in diverse and practical ways, to a definitive solution to the problem of illegal drugs,” Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said in a televised speech the day the accord was signed.4 “The Havana talks have advanced much farther than the three previous efforts to negotiate with the FARC and there is a growing sense that a final peace treaty is now likely.” A month later, Santos secured more time to bring the peace talks to a successful conclusion.

These include complex effects of multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that may drive population losses. These losses are especially illustrated by amphibians, whose populations are declining worldwide. The causes of amphibian population declines are multifaceted and context-dependent. One major factor affecting amphibian populations is emerging infectious disease. Several pathogens and their associated diseases are especially significant contributors to amphibian population declines.

It is the intention in generating this space that, those of us who are committed to the task of building scientific knowledge from the South, find ourselves in it to write about the inquiries madewithin the framework of individual and collective inquiries linked to the thematic fields of the areas that convene: Environment and Society, Everyday Life, Space-temporality and Social Sensitivities, Conflict and Social Structure and Methodological Innovations. This is another opportunity to put on record the interest -shared by many-and the conviction that one of our tasks is to spread the voices of those who have a great deal to say about social, environmental and everyday realities and ways of dealing with them scientifically.

  • Regional Overview: South America3-9 April 2021
    Regional Overview: South America3-9 April 2021 acleddata.com/2021/04/14/regional-overview-south-america3-9-april-2021/ April 14, 2021 Last week in South America, coca producers took to the streets in Bolivia against the relocation of a coca market. Chile postponed Constituent Assembly elections amidst a spike in coronavirus cases. In the border region of Colombia and Venezuela, violent conflict continued between Venezuelan military forces and dissidents of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Meanwhile, Brazil registered a spike in bank explosions led by criminal groups. In Bolivia, tensions persist around coca leaf markets. Per a long-standing law passed by congress, there are only two legal coca markets in Bolivia. These include one used by the Yungean growers in La Paz city, in the Villa Fatima neighborhood, and another in the city of Sacaba, Cochabamba deparment, for growers of the Chapare region. Recently, the Ministry of Rural Development passed a resolution moving the market in Villa Fatima, and bringing its leadership from under the existing Departmental Association of Coca Producers (ADEPCOCA), the coca grower’s union, to instead under the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party. As such, farmers from the Yunga region, who support ADEPCOCA, fear that the creation of the new market favors growers from the El Chapare region — where former President Morales of the MAS party previously worked as a coca farmer. Last week, coca leaf farmers took to the streets against the relocation of the Villa Fatima coca leaf market and in support of ADEPCOCA. Police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators, with clashes reported between police and the farmers.

The Duque government withdrew the reform four days later, but the protests intensified resulting in violent clashes between Colombian police forces and civilian protestors and others. As of May 13, there were 34 deaths, including at least one police officer, and more than 1,500 injuries, more than half of which were police injured by blunt objects (blade, explosive, firearm, etc.), according to Colombia’s Foreign Ministry.1 As well
