Office Memorandum THE WORLD BANK/IFC/M.I.G.A. OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: March 8, 2001 TO: Mr. Ken King, Assistant CEO, GEF Secretariat Att: GEF PROGRAM COORDINATION FROM: Lars Vidaeus, GEF Executive Coordinator EXTENSION: 3-4188 SUBJECT: Regional: Integrated Silvo-Pastoral Ecosystem Management Submission for Work Program Inclusion Please find enclosed the electronic attachment of the above mentioned project brief for work program inclusion. We would appreciate receiving any comments by March 15, 2001. This innovative project seeks to address multiple global environmental issues through an integrated approach to land management in 3 countries. The proposal is consistent with the Criteria for Review of GEF Projects as presented in the following sections of the project brief: · Country Drivenness: Each of the participating countries (Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua) have ratified the CDB and have identified conservation and sustainable natural resource management as a priority. In addition, the national guidelines and policies of each country have emphasized a need for an integrated ecosystem management approach for sustainable development. This has also been reflected within each country’s respective CASs. Please see section B1a-b. (Sector-Related Country Strategy & National Environmental Strategies Supported by the Project) on page 2, for further discussion of country drivenness and D4 on page 20 (Indications of borrower and recipient commitment and ownership) for a discussion of focal point involvement in project’s endorsement. · Endorsement: the national GEF focal point has provided an endorsement letter on: 1. Colombia, Ministerio del Medio Ambiente, MMA: November 22, 2000 2. Costa Rica, FUNDECOOPERACION: January 26, 2001 3. Nicaragua, Ministerio del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, MARENA: October 27, 2000 · Program Designation & Conformity: This project applies the Integrated Ecosystems Approach to redress land degradation caused by open rangeland for livestock production in three representative regions within each of the countries. It supports complex land management systems that increase biodiversity habitats (including soil biodiversity), increase carbon sequestration, reduce soil erosion, and enhances water management, while improving socio-economic conditions in rural Mr. Ken King -2- April 9, 2001 areas. As such, with its emphasis on the integrated ecosystem management aiming to improve both land, water and bio-diversity of degraded pastures, the project fully supports the requirements of OP #12. Please see Section B1(c) page 3 (GEF operational strategy/program objective addressed by the Project). · Project Design: : The project design has been formulated to combat forest loss and land degradation by addressing underlying causes and issues surrounding sustainable natural resource management through incorporation of land-management techniques that generate multiple social and environmental benefits. Specific project components include: (i) ecosystem enhancement and capacity building, (ii) monitoring and evaluation of ecological services, (iii) establishment of an Ecoservice Fund, (iv) supporting and influencing policy formulation, outreach and sound project management. Please see section C on page 10 (Project Description Summary), Annex 1 (Project Design Summary), and Annex 2 (Detailed Project Description). · Sustainability: Past experience has indicated that once silvopastoral systems are established, they remain viable for least 20 years while continuing to provide local and global environmental impacts and benefits. In addition, the integration of local participation, training and capacity building into the project design promote the use of improved agricultural techniques and an increased sense of stewardship. See Section F1, (Sustainability) on page 29. · Replicability: Replicability is a key project component. Project activities include various means of information dissemination: through establishment of demonstration sites, seminars, workshops, regional consultations and publications. These activities will allow for wide dissemination to promote improved silvopastoral techniques by improving extension services and fostering farmer-to-farmer knowledge sharing. Much of the information generated from project activities will be housed in LEAD’s Virtual Research and Development Centre and would be available for replication in other regions. See Section E7 (Participatory Approaches) on page 27. · Stakeholder Involvement: Throughout project preparation and implementation, stakeholder involvement plays a key role. For identification of project stakeholders, please see Section C3, page 11 (Benefits and target population); for a summary discussion of the involvement of stakeholders in preparation and implementation, please see Sections E5, page 23 (Social) and E7, page 26 (Participatory Approaches); for a detailed discussion of the issues, please see Annex 8 (Social Assessment Summary). · Monitoring & Evaluation: Given the pilot nature of this project, the M&E component is of fundamental importance. As discussed in detail in Annex 7, monitoring of biological and socio economic trends would be assured by monitoring programs in the baseline and as well as methods that will be established under the proposed project. The set of indicators on the environmental and economic impacts of project outputs and activities have been developed and are presented in Annex 1 (Project Design Summary) and Annex 2 (Detailed Project Description), respectively. Mr. Ken King -3- April 9, 2001 With regard to M&E of project administration, CATIE will act as the central executing agency and will be directly responsible for managing activities in Costa Rica while subcontracting NITLIPAN and CIPAV for overseeing project sites in Nicaragua and Colombia respectively. In each country the local project coordinator and financial project manager would be responsible for constant monitoring and evaluation to determine the success of project administration. For more details please see Section C4, page 12 (Institutional and Implementation Arrangements) and page 15 (Project Monitoring and Evaluation). · Financing Plan: A summary of the project cost table is presented in Section C1 page 10. A summarized financial analysis can be found in section E1 (a) on page 21. Additional information can be found in Annex 3 (Estimated Project Costs) and Annex 4 (b) (Financial Summary). The breakdown between baseline funding and incremental costs and the rationale for GEF support may be found in Annex 4(a) (Incremental Costs and Global Benefits). · Cost-effectiveness: Given the methodological difficulties in quantifying and valuing environmental services generated by the proposed project, a financial and economic cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted. In this analysis, the discounted costs of the program are compared with the costs of alternative investments. Information on cost effectiveness of the project can be found in Section E1(b) on page 21 and in Annex 4 (c). · Core Commitments and Linkages: As stated above, the project is consistent with WB Country Assistance Strategies in each country. The project complements on- going WB operations focussed on addressing poverty alleviation, natural resource management and biodiversity conservation. Please see the discussion of the project’s linkage to the WB Country Assistance Strategy in Section B1 on page 2, and how the project complements other on-going Bank projects in Section D2, page 16. · Consultation, Coordination and Collaboration between IAs: Upstream consultations have ensured that there is complementarity UNDP activities (please refer to comments provided from UNDP on Dec 20, 2000). It should be noted that the Colombian component of the WB regional project focuses on the re-conversion of extensively degraded livestock systems into silvo-pastoral systems, whilst the UNDP Massif project centers on strengthening the protection of highly valued montane forest and paramo vegetation. We will continue the interaction with UNDP to ensure that demonstration site selection is done in coordination, and to ensure that there is no geographical overlap. For more details please see Section D2 on page 16-18 (Major related Projects financed by the Bank and/or other development agencies) for a discussion of the other programs with links to the proposed project. For coordination with other GEF-supported initiatives in Colombia Andes, see Annex 10 (Complementarities among GEF projects in the Colombia Andes). Mr. Ken King -4- April 9, 2001 · Response to STAP Expert Comments: An expert from the STAP Roster (Dr. Pedro Sanchez- Director, ICRAF) reviewed the project in January 2001 and found that the project was “highly innovative and worthy of funding….” Please see and Annex 9 (Comments of the STAP Review) to review outstanding issues and corresponding responses and comments by the preparation team. · Response to GEFSEC Review at the time of initial Pipeline Entry (October 2000): in their comments of October 2000 the Secretariat team recommended that the preparation team look at a number of concerns and issues. These have been carefully addressed in the preparation of the Project Appraisal Document (PAD). GEFSEC comments (in italics) have been addressed as follows: (a) LEAD is not eligible as a proponent of a GEF project; it has to be a developing country institution; CIPAV, CATIE and NITLAPAN are now presented as project proposers. CATIE will be the executing agency . ABC and LEAD are now presented as international project partners and cofinanciers

    BOLETÍN CIENTÍFICO bol.cient.mus.hist.nat. 24 (1), enero-junio, 2020. 231-241. ISSN: 0123-3068 (Impreso) ISSN: 2462-8190 (En línea) CENTRO DE MUSEOS MUSEO DE HISTORIA NATURAL Two new species of Golofa Hope, 1837 (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae: Dynastinae) from the Colombian Andes, South America. Luis Carlos Pardo-Locarno1 & Alfonso Villalobos-Moreno2 Abstract Objective: To describe two new species of the genus Golofa. Scope: To expand the list of species of the tribe Dynastini for Colombia. Methodology: We reviewed the specimens of the genus Golofa deposited in the Colección Familia Pardo-Locarno CFPL-COL, establishing differences between the species already identified and the specimens type used for the description of the two new species reviewed in this manuscript. Main results: We described two new species of Golofa Hope, 1837, showing photographic records with diagnostic value. The number of species for Colombia is increased to nine, thus, the synopsis of species is formed as follows: Golofa aegeon Drury, 1773, Golofa antiqua Arrow, 1911, Golofa claviger Linnaeus, 1771, Golofa eacus Burmeister, 1847, Golofa paradoxa Dechambre, 1975, Golofa pelagon Burmeister, 1847, Golofa porteri Hope, 1837, Golofa farallonensis n. sp. Pardo-Locarno & Villalobos-Moreno y Golofa veliae n. sp. Pardo-Locarno & Villalobos-Moreno. Conclusions: These records ratify the Tropandean distribution of the group, evidencing the little biological and biogeographic knowledge of this group in Colombia. The results indicate a great diversity of the genus in the country, so that, the study of species distribution is recommended. Key words. Colombia, distribution, Dynastini, new species, Tropandean. Dos nuevas especies de Golofa Hope, 1837 (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae: Dynastinae) de los Andes Colombianos, América del Sur.

  • Colombia Curriculum Guide 090916.Pmd
    National Geographic describes Colombia as South America’s sleeping giant, awakening to its vast potential. “The Door of the Americas” offers guests a cornucopia of natural wonders alongside sleepy, authentic villages and vibrant, progressive cities. The diverse, tropical country of Colombia is a place where tourism is now booming, and the turmoil and unrest of guerrilla conflict are yesterday’s news. Today tourists find themselves in what seems to be the best of all destinations... panoramic beaches, jungle hiking trails, breathtaking volcanoes and waterfalls, deserts, adventure sports, unmatched flora and fauna, centuries old indigenous cultures, and an almost daily celebration of food, fashion and festivals. The warm temperatures of the lowlands contrast with the cool of the highlands and the freezing nights of the upper Andes. Colombia is as rich in both nature and natural resources as any place in the world. It passionately protects its unmatched wildlife, while warmly sharing its coffee, its emeralds, and its happiness with the world. It boasts as many animal species as any country on Earth, hosting more than 1,889 species of birds, 763 species of amphibians, 479 species of mammals, 571 species of reptiles, 3,533 species of fish, and a mind-blowing 30,436 species of plants. Yet Colombia is so much more than jaguars, sombreros and the legend of El Dorado. A TIME magazine cover story properly noted “The Colombian Comeback” by explaining its rise “from nearly failed state to emerging global player in less than a decade.” It is respected as “The Fashion Capital of Latin America,” “The Salsa Capital of the World,” the host of the world’s largest theater festival and the home of the world’s second largest carnival.

Species richness, geographical affinities, and activity patterns of mammals in premontane Andean forests of the Magdalena river basin of Colombia Diego A. Torres* and Abel Eduardo Rojas Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Caldas, Calle 65 # 26-10, Manizales, Colombia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The Magdalena river basin is home to more than half of Colombia's human population, and consequently the basin also harbors their economic activities. These activities have generated high deforestation rates and negative pressures on natural resources. With such a scenario of forest loss it is imperative to assess the state of the biodiversity and its conservation. Here, during six years we assessed the mammalian species richness and abundance in premontane forests of Caldas department in the Magdalena river basin. We also presented additional information on the activity patterns and geographical affinities of this fauna. We recorded 100 species of mammals with the Chiroptera as the richest order, followed by Rodentia. Most of the species are common and are not under risk of extinction; however, it is important to highlight the presence of six endemic species, three vulnerable species and one endangered species (white-footed tamarin). The mammalian fauna of this region is similar to other lowland localities in the Neotropics, and less similar to highland localities, including the nearby ones.

U-Pb LA-ICP-MS geochronology and geochemistry of Jurassic volcanic and plutonic rocks from the Putumayo region (southern Colombia): tectonic setting and regional correlations. Boletín de Geología, 38(2): 21-38. ABSTRACT New field data, geochemical analyses and zircon U-Pb LA-ICP MS data were obtained on plutonic and volcanic rocks of the Mocoa Batholith and Saldaña Formation in southern Colombia Putumayo region. Results suggest that the plutonic and volcanic activities are closely related to a common magmatic history. This volcano-plutonic association presents a well-defined LILE and LREE enrichment and negative Nb and Ti negative anomalies characteristic of continental magmatic arcs. Volcanic and plutonic rocks crystallized between 180-186 Ma as revealed by U-Pb zircon geochronology. The magmatic activity is temporally and chemically correlatable with other magmatic arc exposures in Colombia and Ecuador. These units may represent the remnants of a single belt which includes several units from 4°N in Colombia and 5°S in Ecuador. This arc is related to the widespread Jurassic continental magmatic arc setting that characterized the continental margins of the Americas after Pangea break-up.
