Cerrado Protected Areas: Chapada dos Veadeiros and Emas National Parks SITE INFORMATION Country: Brazil Inscribed in: 2001 Criteria: (ix) (x) Site description: The two sites included in the designation contain flora and fauna and key habitats that characterize the Cerrado – one of the world’s oldest and most diverse tropical ecosystems. For millennia, these sites have served as refuge for several species during periods of climate change and will be vital for maintaining the biodiversity of the Cerrado region during future climate fluctuations. © UNESCO IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Cerrado Protected Areas: Chapada dos Veadeiros and Emas National Parks - 2017 Conservation Outlook Assessment (archived) SUMMARY 2017 Conservation Outlook Good with some concerns The current state of conservation of the site is relatively good. Existing threats to ecological processes, biodiversity, threatened species, and other species of particular conservation concern are minor, and management programs are relatively effective. However, conservation of the site was seriously impacted when 72% of the CdVNP was excised from the Park until June 2017. Efforts have been undertaken to restore protection regime for most parts of the site, adding otherwise new areas.

  • Conservation Versus Development at the Iguacu National Park, Brazil1
    CONSERVATION VERSUS DEVELOPMENT AT THE IGUACU NATIONAL PARK, BRAZIL1 Ramon Arigoni Ortiz a a Research Professor at BC3 – Basque Centre for Climate Change – Bilbao – Spain Alameda Urquijo, 4 Piso 4 – 48009 – [email protected] Abstract The Iguacu National Park is a conservation unit that protects the largest remnant area of the Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil. The Colono Road is 17.6 km long road crossing the Iguacu National Park that has been the motive of dispute between environmentalists, government bodies and NGOs defending the closure of the Colono Road; and organised civil institutions representing the population of the surrounding cities defending its opening. In October 2003, 300 people invaded the Park in an attempt to remove the vegetation and reopen the road, which was prevented by members of the Brazilian Army and Federal Police. Those who advocate the reopening of the Colono Road claim significant economic losses imposed on the surrounding cities. This paper investigates this claim and concludes that a possible reopening of the Colono Road cannot be justified from an economic perspective. Keywords: Iguacu Park; Brazil; Colono Road; economic development; environmental degradation; valuation; cost-benefit analysis 1 WWF-Brazil provided the financial support to this work, which I am grateful. However, WWF-Brazil is not responsible for the results and opinions in this study. I am also grateful to two anonymous referees for their constructive comments, corrections and suggestions.

  • Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
    Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

Using diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener), plant knowledge is compared among communities (urban- rural population), and between sex (male-female) and age (older or younger than 40 years) categories within each community. Among our informants, we found quantitative differences concerning the knowledge of medicinal plants between sex and age categories. Some individuals play a key role relating to medicinal plant knowledge, and steps should be taken in order to include them in management and conservation plans.

Understanding how different environmental factors influence species occurrence is a key issue to address the study of natural populations. However, there is a lack of knowledge on how local traits influence the microhabitat use of tropical arboreal lizards. Here, we investigated the microhabitat selection of the poorly known lizard Tropidurus lagunablanca (Squamata: Tropiduridae) and evaluated how environmental microhabitat features influence animal’s presence.

C. de Pinna* and Kirk O. Winemiller** A new miniaturized species of the trichomycterid genus Ammoglanisis described from the Rio Orinoco basin in Venezuela. It is distinguished from its only congener, A. diaphanus,by: a banded color pattern formed by internal chromatophores; 5 or 6 pectoral-fin rays (7 in A. diaphanus),5/5 principal caudal-fin rays (6/6 in A. diaphanus),ii+6 dorsal-fin rays (iii+6+i in A. diaphanus),30 or 31 vertebrae (33 in A. diaphanus),six or seven branchiostegal rays (five in A. diaphanus),subterminal mouth (inferior in A. diaphanus)and by the lack of premaxillary and dentary teeth. The two speciesalso differ markedly in a number of internal anatomical traits. Synapomorphies are offered to support the monophyly of the two species now included in Ammoglanis,as well as autapomorphies for each of them. Ammoglanispulex is among the smallest known vertebrates, the largest known specimen being 14.9 mm SL. It is a fossorial inhabitant of shallow sandy sections of clear- and light blackwater streams, and probably feeds on interstitial microinvertebrates.

  • Recommendation of Native Species for the Reforestation of Degraded Land Using Live Staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia)
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA Department of Land, Environment Agriculture and Forestry Second Cycle Degree (MSc) in Forest Science Recommendation of native species for the reforestation of degraded land using live staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia) Supervisor Prof. Lorenzo Marini Co-supervisor Prof. Jaime Polanía Vorenberg Submitted by Alicia Pardo Moy Student N. 1218558 2019/2020 Summary Although Colombia is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, it has many degraded areas due to agricultural and mining practices that have been carried out in recent decades. The high Andean forests are especially vulnerable to this type of soil erosion. The corporate purpose of ‘Reforestadora El Guásimo S.A.S.’ is to use wood from its plantations, but it also follows the parameters of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). For this reason, it carries out reforestation activities and programs and, very particularly, it is interested in carrying out ecological restoration processes in some critical sites. The study area is located between 2000 and 2750 masl and is considered a low Andean humid forest (bmh-MB). The average annual precipitation rate is 2057 mm and the average temperature is around 11 ºC. The soil has a sandy loam texture with low pH, which limits the amount of nutrients it can absorb. FAO (2014) suggests that around 10 genera are enough for a proper restoration. After a bibliographic revision, the genera chosen were Alchornea, Billia, Ficus, Inga, Meriania, Miconia, Ocotea, Protium, Prunus, Psidium, Symplocos, Tibouchina, and Weinmannia. Two inventories from 2013 and 2019, helped to determine different biodiversity indexes to check the survival of different species and to suggest the adequate characteristics of the individuals for a successful vegetative stakes reforestation.

    PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF A LARGE-SCALE TREE INVENTORY OF UPLAND RAIN FOREST IN THE CENTRAL AMAZON. Judy M. Rankin-de-Mérona (l) Ghillean T. Prance (2) Roger W. Hutchings (1) Marlene Freitas da Silva (1) William A. Rodrigues (1) Marie E. Uehling (3) ABSTRACT A large-scale inventory of trees > 10cm DBH was conducted in the upland "terra firme" rain forest of the Distrito Agropecuário da SUFRAMA (Manaus Free Zone Authority Agricul­ tural District) approximately 65Km north of the city of Manaus (AM), Srasil. The general appearance and structure of the forest is described together with local topography and soil texture. The preliminary results of the Inventory provide a minimum estimate of 698 tree species in 53 families in the 40Km radius sampled, including 17 undescribed species. The most numeri­ cally abundant families, Lecythidaceae, Leguminosae, 5apotaceae and Burseraceae as also among the most species rich families. One aspect of this diverse assemblage is the proliferation of species within certain genera, Including 26 genera In 17 families with 6 or more species or morphospecies. Most species have very low abundances of less than 1 tree per hectare. While more abundant species do exist at densities ranging up to a mean of 12 trees per ha, many have clumped distributions leading to great variation in local species abundance. The degree of similarity between hectare samples based int the Coefficient of Community similarity Index varies widely over different sample hectares for five ecologically different families. Soil texture apparently plays a significant role In determining species composition in the different one hectare plots examined while results for other variable were less consistent.
