This has caused substantial biodiversity loss, contributed to climate change, and perpetuated poverty amongst local communities. Unsustainable smallholder agriculture and ranching are the principle drivers of deforestation and degradation in the Amazon basin of Peru. Planting for the Future aims to relieve smallholders of their reliance on these activities by implementing a market‐orientated agroforestry model following a programmatic approach.

  • Eastern Ecuador Tour November-December 2010
    Tropical Birding Eastern Ecuador Tour November-December 2010 Eastern Ecuador Tour : High Andes to Vast Amazon This rare Andean Potoo, here on a nest, was one of the tour highlights. 27 November - 12 December, 2010 Guided by Andrew Spencer www.tropicalbirding.com [email protected] +1-409-515-0514 Tropical Birding Eastern Ecuador Tour November-December 2010 The Amazon. Merely hearing that word conjures up images of vast, unbroken rainforests teeming with life to an extent unequaled anywhere else on the planet. To a birder it means hundreds of bird species of exotic colors, shapes, and behaviors. It is, in short, one of the ultimate wildlife (and birding) experiences in the world, not to be missed, and hopefully experienced time after time. Ecuador has a good share of this natural cornucopia. In fact, the Amazonian forests in Ecuador are among the best in the in the entire basin, and it is not unusual to rack up a large trip list when visiting the area. This tour was no exception, and when combined with the wide variety of habitats from the high páramo of Papallacta Pass through the temperate and subtropical forests of the Andes, we had a highly successful trip. Highlights ranged from the ptarmigan-esque Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe to the rarely seen Greater Scythebill to the glowingly red Black-necked Red-Cotinga . In total we scored just over 600 species on this excellent tour of Ecuador´s east that covered everything from the chilly high Andes right down into the steamy lowland jungles of the Amazon Basin. Day 1: Quito to Guango Somewhat bizarrely, Ecuador was conducting a census on the first day of the tour, and as a result the roads throughout the country were completely off limits to everyone during most of the daylight hours.

FOSTER,3 TODD MARK,1 NICO DAUPHINE´ ,4 AND IRMA J. FRANKE5 ABSTRACT.—We provide an inventory of the avifauna of the Pongos Basin, northern Amazonas Department, Peru based on museum specimens collected during expeditions spanning Ͼ60 years within the 20th century. Four hundred and thirty-eight species representing 52 families are reported. Differences between lowland and higher elevation avifaunas were apparent. Species accounts with overviews of specimen data are provided for four species representing distributional records, two threatened species, and 26 species of Nearctic and Austral migrants, of which six are considered probable migrants.

Nuestras nuevas 10 localidades estaban vecinas a ríos secundarios, a alturas entre 340 y 660 m s.n.m., y contenían parches (pacales) del bambú Guadua sarcocarpa. Presentamos sonogramas y descripciones del canto, antes desconoc- ido, y de otras voces. Encontramos dos nidos activos separados por 400 m, ambos colgando sobre un arroyo, bolsas alargadas tejidas mayormente con fibras negruzcas del hongo Marasmius. Observamos y oímos hasta tres y cuatro individuos en cada nido, los que compartían conductas parentales como vigi- lancia y ataques a depredadores, conducta inusual en caciques de nidificación solitaria. Las tres espe- cies de caciques C. koepckeae, C. sclateri y C. chrysopterus construyen nidos solitarios de fibras oscuras fúngicas colgando sobre el agua. Esta similaridad apoya la taxonomía tradicional que sugiere una cercana relación filogenética entre las tres especies.
