As if you needed reminding, 2005 was a year devastated by natural disasters. First the tsunami in the Indian Ocean, then hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans and 4 NEWS finally the earthquake in Pakistan and its terrible consequences, which are still being felt.

    ANTHROPOGENIC CHANGE IN THE LANDSCAPES OF HIGHLAND ECUADOR* FAUSTO 0. SARMIENTO ABSTRACT. The anthropogenii nature of Andean ecosystems is discussed in the framework of tree-line dynamics in selected sites in Ecuador. Indicators of human impact are evidence of the need for a scientific understanding of neotropical mountains that is better in tune with the special conditions of tropical Andean environments. Tropandean systems are neither tropical ecosystems nor midlatitude regions, and lessons from ecologically damaging activi- ties in those ecosystems cannot be transferred readily to Tropandean systems. Better research from the ethnobiological and ecological fronts is needed if we are to comprehend the intri- cate functions of neotropical mountains, particularly the cloud-forest belt, which is regarded as the most threatened ecosystem when considering sustainability scenarios. Keywords: Andes Mountains, Ecuador, geoecology, paramos, tree-line change, tropical montane cloudforest. %istory-geological, archaeological, and agricultural-is a necessary main frame- work when delimiting the edge of the Tropandean ecoregion, or tropical montane cloud forest ( TMCF). Landscape-level conservation planning must then acknowl- edge humans as the catalyst of landscape change. Today’s TMCF landscape in fact reflects two tree lines: an upper one that correlates with the extension of grazing into the colder, higher reaches, which reduces the area of TMCFS from above; and a lower one that correlates with the ascending intensification of cropland agriculture

    !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ECUADOR HIGHLIGHTS Ecuador is a land of exceptional geographic and biological diversity, no more clearly displayed with its amazing Galapagos Islands. The Ecuadorian Andes are dominated by an avenue of volcanoes, 25 of them active; several of these, including Tungurahua and Sangay, have erupted in recent years. In Cotopaxi, Ecuador boasts the world’s highest active volcano, while the summit of Chimborazo, an extinct volcano and Ecuador’s highest peak, is the furthest point from the Earth’s centre. With such mountains to play with so close to Quito, it’s small wonder that Ecuador is becoming increasingly popular for trekkers and climbers searching for Andean beauty in off-the-beaten track areas. Chimborazo Volcano, Ecuador A must-see for Ecuador and indeed South America is a visit to the Galapagos Archipelago, where Charles Darwin’s words may echo through your mind. This wildlife paradise, lying 1,000 km off Ecuador’s shores, can be a life-enhancing experience. Nowhere else in the world is the wildlife so obligingly tame, the islands so rugged and the highlights so many. More wildlife and fantastic culture awaits those that journey to Ecuador’s Amazon region, to the East of the Andes, brimming with animals and folklore, which your local guide will be delighted to explain. The Pacific coast boasts palm-fringed beaches and a warm year-round climate, for those that wish to relax by the sea at the end of an adventure holiday. Ecuador’s climate varies according to season, altitude and region. The best time to visit the Andes is the dry season (June to Sept and Dec to Jan).

In tropical Andean countries, natural ecosystems change over small spatial scales. Thus, conservation and restoration initiatives, strongly require ecological baseline information about local ecosystems history, spatial distribution, integrity, trophic interactions, successional dynamics, home range, health and as well as considering the local ethobiogical and ethnoecological knowledge. The present work was done in order to generate initial ecological base-line information in three locals and one sub-regional landscape. The major findings are: (1) ‘Forest Gap Phase Dynamic Reference Method’ inside three successional stages in old grow reference forest and secondary forest regrowth, was able to generate baseline information about the ecosystem structure, composition and biomass in a local Choco-Darien rainforest (NW Ecuador); (2) Traditional Ecological Knowledge showed good synergy with ecological science-based approaches (e.g.

Abstract Ecuador has the world’s highest biodiversity, despite being a tiny fraction of the world’s land area. The threat of extinction for much of this biodiversity has dramatically increased since April 2016, during which time the Ecuadorian government has opened approximately 2.9 million hectares of land for mining exploration, with many of the concessions in previously protected forests. Herein, we describe the system of protected lands in Ecuador, their mining laws, and outline the scale of threat by comparing the mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and orchids from several now threatened protected areas, classed as “Bosques Protectores” (BPs), in the NW montane cloud forests.

Podocarpus National Park is the newest protected area in Ecuador as it was established in 1982. The park is located in the southern region of the country, near the Peruvian border. Politically, it's-situated in the provinces of Loja and Zamora-Chinchipe. Covering an area of a little more than 146,000 hectares, this park protects the headwaters of four important basins: Catamayo, Chinchipe, Zamora and Nangaritza. The altitudinal range of the park lies between 1,000 and 3,500 meters above sea level (mad) with a vegetation that includes different types of wet communities: Premontane wet forest, lower montane wet forest, montane rain forest (cloud forest) and montane moist forest. Less important dry vegetation types are found in the western lower slopes in areas of rain shadow. The fauna of the park is poorly known and only very, conspicuous species have been registered: mountain deer, mountain tapir, spectacle bear, cougar, Andean cock-of-the-rock, trogons, toucans, parrots, among others. The park holds a small population of campesinos and indigenous people in its periphery and a floating variable population of miners in its core.

  • Practical Strategies for Pro-Poor Tourism. Tropic Ecological Adventures – Ecuador
    PPT Working Paper No.6 Practical strategies for pro-poor tourism TROPIC Ecological Adventures - Ecuador Scott Braman and Fundación Acción Amazonia April 2001 Preface This case study was written as a contribution to a project on ‘pro-poor tourism strategies.’ The pro-poor tourism project is collaborative research involving the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), the Centre for Responsible Tourism at the University of Greenwich (CRT), together with in-country case study collaborators. It is funded by the Economic and Social Research Unit (ESCOR) of the UK Department for International Development (DFID). The project reviewed the experience of pro-poor tourism strategies based on six commissioned case studies. These studies used a common methodology developed within this project. The case study work was undertaken mainly between September and December 2000. Findings have been synthesised into a research report and a policy briefing, while the 6 case studies are all available as Working Papers. The outputs of the project are: Pro-poor tourism strategies: Making tourism work for the poor. Pro-poor Tourism Report No 1. (60pp) by Caroline Ashley, Dilys Roe and Harold Goodwin, April 2001.
