  • 12Years of Supporting Conservation
    YEARS OF SUPPORTING CONSERVATION 12Parque Nacional Bahía de Loreto Sierra de la Giganta Golfo de California Loreto, Baja California Sur, México Eco-Alianza de Loreto, A.C. Eco-Alianza de Loreto, A.C. September, 2019 1 Background and Overview Millions of years ago, the Baja California peninsula broke off from the mainland of present-day Mexico creating the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez. Today, over 2,000 miles of rugged coastlines, lagoons, rocky reefs and palm oases designate the region where the Baja des- ert meets the sea. Along with its remarkable biological diversity, the Baja peninsula is marked with unique cultural characteristics. Prior to the founding of the first Spanish mission of California in Lo- reto, the region was inhabited by seminomadic tribes, the Pericu and Cochimi, who lived in the lush canyons of the Sierras de la Giganta and Guadalupe, living off the ocean and desert. Today, the region is at a crossroads. Thousands of hectares of coastal and desert habitats have been sold and developed over the past fifteen years, spurred by U.S. real estate prices and changes to Mex- ican law in the wake of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which encouraged foreign investment by making purchase of coastal land easier. Coupled with a growing population of retiring baby boomers entering the real estate market, former communal and private land is being transformed into resorts, private clubs, golf courses, marinas, and second homes. This unprecedented rate of development poses threats to the region’s key assets which make it attractive today: biodiversity, recreation and scenic beauty.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Two new species of Fabaceae, Astragalus comonduensis from A. sect. Inflati and Calliandra pilocarpa from C. sect. An- drocallis are described and illustrated. Both species are endemic to the state of Baja California Sur. Distribution, associated vegetation, rarity of observation, affinities to other related species, botanical illustrations, and various keys for identification of these plants in the region are also presented. Keywords: Leguminosae, Lotoideae, Mimosoideae, plant morphology, taxonomy Introduction The flora of the Baja California peninsula and adjacent islands in both the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, located in northwestern Mexico is documented to have 3,892 plant taxa, included in 3,551 species, 1,093 genera and 186 families (Rebman et al., 2016). With respect to endemism, approximately 26% of the native flora of the region is endemic or near-endemic. This most recent study of the Baja California region’s flora significantly increased the region’s plant diversity through improved compilation of sp ecimen vouchers and also by incorporating many plant taxa that were new and described since Wiggins (1980) publication on the entire flora.

The Sierra de La Giganta is a semi-arid region in the southern part of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Traditionally, this area has been excluded as a sector of the Sonoran Desert and has been more often lumped with the dry-tropical Cape Region of southern Baja California peninsula, but this classical concept of the vegetation has not previously been analyzed using formal documentation.

  • An Exploration of Prospect Theory As a Tool to Derive Benefits in Negotiated Agreements
    Integrating the Community Perspective: An exploration of Prospect Theory as a tool to derive benefits in Negotiated Agreements by Alejandra Tobar B.A. (Hons.), University of Toronto, 2015 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Resource Management in the Simon Fraser University Faculty of Resource and Environmental Management Project No. 739 © Alejandra Tobar 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Alejandra Tobar Degree: Master of Resource Management Title: Integrating the Community Perspective: An exploration of Prospect Theory as a tool to derive benefits in Negotiated Agreements Project No. 739 Examining Committee: Chair: Jesus, Pulido PhD in Resource Management Candidate Duncan Knowler Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Gretchen Ferguson Supervisor Professor Date Defended/Approved: November 8, 2019 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract This paper provides an overview of negotiated agreements as strategies for community engagement in conjunction with insights from the field of behavioral economics, specifically Prospect Theory. Prospect Theory posits that losses are valued more than gains from a reference state and result in large valuation disparities in experimental studies. This study estimates valuation disparities within compensating and equivalent variation measures of WTP and WTA in a structured field experiment. A case study undertaken in Loreto, Baja California Sur, explores interactions between tourism development and impacts to household water security. The study finds moderate valuation disparities ranging from 1.09 to 1.15 that were statistically significant when maximum likelihood estimation was used.

    RWKiger 5 Jul 18 Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbreviated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix "a"; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with "b". Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.
