St. Kitts Site Report for Central Forest Reserves ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC BASELINE STUDIES St. Kitts and Nevis Site Report for Central Forest Reserve, St. Kitts Prepared for: The OECS Protected Areas and Associated Livelihoods (OPAAL) Project Prepared by: IRF Team Comprising: Dr. Brian Cooper, Lucia Mings, Kevel Lindsay, and Jean-Pierre Bacle 6 June 2011 Acknowledgements This activity is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through the World Bank and the Fond Français de L’Environment Mondial (FFEM). The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the donor agencies supporting the activity or of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). This report on the baseline environmental and socio-economic study of the Central Forest Reserve National Park (CFRNP), which forms the demonstration site for the OECS Protected Areas and Associated Livelihoods Project in St. Kitts and Nevis, has benefited from several prior studies and reports which have been acknowledged and documented in the text and in the References section of this report. In particular, the authors would like to mention the Management Plan for the CFRN, 2008-2011 produced by Cathryn Wild in 2008 and Lloyd Gardner’s Comparative Analysis for Development of a Harmonised Protected Areas Management Framework within the OECS, which was completed in January 2007. Both documents provided a lot of useful information and thoughtful analysis. Many other persons contributed to the gathering of information and its interpretation. In particular, Randolph Edmead, the Chief Environmental Officer and functional Head of the NICE and Andy Blanchette, Environmental Officer, and other staff of the Department of Physical Planning and Environment (DPPE), in the Ministry of Finance and Sustainable Development, were extremely helpful in arranging meetings with members of the NICE and Site Implementation Entity (SIE), providing information and other valuable assistance in conducting the field surveys by the provision of transport and drivers. Without their help, much less would have been achieved in the short time available in the country. The IRF team would also like to thank Ilis Watts, Site Coordinator and member of the SIE, who also provided valuable assistance and accompanied the biodiversity team on their climb to the fabulous Dos d’Ane Pond. island resources P a g e ii Other Government officials consented to meet with the team, including, Raquel Williams, Member of the SIE and Forest Engineer, and Paul Benjamin, Agricultural Officer, both members of the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as Randolph Hamilton, Manager of Special Products, Board of Tourism, with whom valuable discussions were held. The team also wishes to thank the various members of civil society with whom they were able to meet and especially for the assistance of the St Christopher National Trust (SCNT), which was contracted as the IRF’s local partner. The Executive Director of the SCNT, Natasha Leader, generously directed her staff to give the team every assistance including information from their extensive library. Kate Orchard and Jacqueline Armony acted as SCNT representatives on the team, and they provided invaluable assistance. Gregg Pereira of Gregg’s Tours took time from his busy, high-season schedule to discuss how tour guiding works in the CFRNP and his assessment of the Park’s development and concerns for the conservation of its richness. Finally, the assistance of the OECS Environment and Sustainable Development Unit in Saint Lucia, especially Tecla Fontenard and Susanna Scott, must be acknowledged for their support in providing guidance, project documents, and helpful comments on the draft reports. We know that the process of developing a functional system of protected areas to conserve the wonderful biodiversity which St. Kitts possesses is just beginning, and much work remains to be done. However, we hope that this report will provide some useful help in guiding the thinking and assessing the options as the work which the OPAAL Project has started continues to go forward. island resources P a g e iii Table of Contents ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC BASELINE STUDIES: Central Forest Reserve, St. Kitts................................................................................................ i Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................ ii Table of Contents .................................................................................................................. iv List of Acronyms and Abbreviations........................................................................................ ix PART I.

  • Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
    SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Contributions from the United States National Herbarium Volume 52: 1-415 Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands Editors Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez and Mark T. Strong Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History Washington, DC 2005 ABSTRACT Acevedo-Rodríguez, Pedro and Mark T. Strong. Monocots and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, volume 52: 415 pages (including 65 figures). The present treatment constitutes an updated revision for the monocotyledon and gymnosperm flora (excluding Orchidaceae and Poaceae) for the biogeographical region of Puerto Rico (including all islets and islands) and the Virgin Islands. With this contribution, we fill the last major gap in the flora of this region, since the dicotyledons have been previously revised. This volume recognizes 33 families, 118 genera, and 349 species of Monocots (excluding the Orchidaceae and Poaceae) and three families, three genera, and six species of gymnosperms. The Poaceae with an estimated 89 genera and 265 species, will be published in a separate volume at a later date. When Ackerman’s (1995) treatment of orchids (65 genera and 145 species) and the Poaceae are added to our account of monocots, the new total rises to 35 families, 272 genera and 759 species. The differences in number from Britton’s and Wilson’s (1926) treatment is attributed to changes in families, generic and species concepts, recent introductions, naturalization of introduced species and cultivars, exclusion of cultivated plants, misdeterminations, and discoveries of new taxa or new distributional records during the last seven decades.

  • 1 Aspectos Etnobotánicos Y Ecológicos Del Género Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae) En Cuba*
    Acta Botánica Cubana 194:1-10 Aspectos etnobotánicos y ecológicos del género Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae) en Cuba* Jacqueline PÉREZ**, Delhy ALBERT**, Sonia ROSETE**, Lázara SOTOLONGO**, Maira FERNÁNDEZ**, Lauren RAZ*** y Piero DELPRETE*** ABSTRACT. Some ethnobotanical aspects of the Cuban dioscoreas are analyzed. The interviews were conducted to determine the uses of these plants in different regions of the country. The most frequent uses of species of the genus Dioscorea in Cuba are dietary supplement, against gastric affections (gastritis) and in Yoruba religious rituals. Values of use of the useful species of the genus were determined. Some ecological aspect as well as the distribution of the species were analysed. KEY WORDS. Dioscorea, Dioscoreaceae, ethnobotanic, ecology.

  • Japansese Beetle Potential Host Range
    Japanese Beetle Potential Host Range in California D. G. Kelch, Ph.D. Primary Botanist, California Department of Food and Agriculture Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica Newman) is a species introduced into North America that has spread widely throughout the eastern United States. In this area, infestations have proven extremely damaging to horticultural and agricultural plants. Yearly costs for management and mitigation of damage are estimated at US$500 million (USDA 2007). In addition, areas infested with Japanese beetle can be quarantined by trading partners, resulting in losses to farmers and nursery growers mounting into the millions of dollars per year (National Plant Board 2007; Smith et al. 1996). Japanese Beetle is not yet fully established in California, but recent detections in Sacramento County have raised concerns and triggered control activities by agencies tasked with protecting plants from pests. Japanese beetles have a broad range of host plants. The list of plants used as hosts by Japanese beetle contains more than 300 species (Potter & Held 2002). Because the focus has been on Japanese beetle attacks in gardens and lawns, the host list is dominated by garden plants. Most of the information on host susceptibility to Japanese beetle originated from a landmark survey summariZed by Fleming (1972). This rating system was based on written and oral accounts of Japanese beetle feeding damage noted from 1920 through 1963 primarily in the New England area (Fleming 1972). Although poorly documented, there is little doubt that Japanese beetle can attack many other species of plants not included on the host list (Miller et al., 2001; Potter & Held 2002).
