    Assessing Bird Species Richness within Shade-Grown Coffee Farms in Chiapas, Mexico / Project ID: 0251711 Daniel Camilo Thompson Poo, Daniela Valle León, Alberto Martínez Fernández and Jennifer Siobhan Lowry San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, México. C.P. 29200 / [email protected] 10 July, 2012. Revised December 2014 Assessing Bird Species Richness within Shade-Grown Coffee Farms in Chiapas, Mexico / ID: 0251711 Overall Aim The goal of this project was to identify mechanisms and conservation strategies across agro-forestry systems in the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico. In particular we analyzed key biodiversity, economic, and social components that impact land-use change and ecosystem services in coffee production areas, focusing on how to improve sustainable production and conservation of nature. 2 Assessing Bird Species Richness within Shade-Grown Coffee Farms in Chiapas, Mexico / ID: 0251711 Section 1 Summary The agroforestry systems with coffee at the Sierra Madre of Chiapas, as a part of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor region, are important for bird species. Agroforestry ecosystems also represent sustainable livelihoods for indigenous groups on the region. Sustainable coffee farming system represents a less human impact on the ecosystem. However, not all coffee producers on the region produce on the same way. Not all the inhabitants are aware of the importance of birds, as a part of the great natural capital of la Sierra Madre, but they either are prepared for the climate change risks and impacts. In this sense, this project seeks to understand, generate and communicate information useful for coffee farmers and their families. The goal is to understand social and economic factors to maintain and increase agroforestry systems with sustainable coffee.

  • Architectural Models of Tropical Trees: Illustrated Key
    Architectural Models of Tropical Trees: Illustrated Key Version June 7, 2021 1 Tropical landscape is full of trees. They rarely flower or bear fruits, and often have very similar leaves. However, shapes and structures of trunks and crowns (so similar in temperate regions) are seriously different in tropics. If you want to know tropics better, you should learn these architectural models. The following key is mainly based on Halle, Oldeman and Thom- linson's (1978) \Tropical Trees and Forests" (pp. 84{97)1. 1. Stem strictly unbranched (Monoaxial trees) . 2. − Stems branched, sometimes apparently unbranched in Cham- berlain's model (polyaxial trees) . 3. 2. Inflorescence terminal . Holttum's model.

  • List of Approved Plants
    APPENDIX "X" – PLANT LISTS Appendix "X" Contains Three (3) Plant Lists: X.1. List of Approved Indigenous Plants Allowed in any Landscape Zone. X.2. List of Approved Non-Indigenous Plants Allowed ONLY in the Private Zone or Semi-Private Zone. X.3. List of Prohibited Plants Prohibited for any location on a residential Lot. X.1. LIST OF APPROVED INDIGENOUS PLANTS. Approved Indigenous Plants may be used in any of the Landscape Zones on a residential lot. ONLY approved indigenous plants may be used in the Native Zone and the Revegetation Zone for those landscape areas located beyond the perimeter footprint of the home and site walls. The density, ratios, and mix of any added indigenous plant material should approximate those found in the general area of the native undisturbed desert. Refer to Section 8.4 and 8.5 of the Design Guidelines for an explanation and illustration of the Native Zone and the Revegetation Zone. For clarity, Approved Indigenous Plants are considered those plant species that are specifically indigenous and native to Desert Mountain. While there may be several other plants that are native to the upper Sonoran Desert, this list is specific to indigenous and native plants within Desert Mountain. X.1.1.

Vol. 13(4), 1945-1952 Diversity of Flora and Fauna in Halu Oleo University Botanical Garden Abdul Manan*1, Usman Rianse2, Sahta Ginting3 and Weka Widayati2 1Department of Enviromental Science, Faculty of Forest and Environmental Science, Halu Oleo University. 2Department of Agribussines, Faculty of Agriculture Halu Oleo University. 3Department of Agrotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture Halu Oleo University. http://dx.doi.org/10.13005/bbra/2348 (Received: 29 November 2016; accepted: 04 December 2016) The study on the diversity of flora and fauna in Universitas Halu Oleo Botanical Garden had been carried out from August to October 2016. The method used was observation, survey and desk methods. The result of researh show that the flora and fauna in the Halu Oleo Botanical Garden found about 86 species of flora and 54 species of bird. In addition, it also found other fauna such as pigs, mice, wild chicken etc. There were some pressure influenced the existancy of flora and fauna in the garden, those are: illegal logging, hunting or trapped animals and forest fire. To anticipate impact of future pressure on flora and fauna, therefore, the prototyping to manage the garden had been developed as follows: (a) developing a public awareness activities or education to increase understanding of local community and students about function and existance of UHO botanical garden; (b) improving management system of botanical garden especially facilitation process on protection of the resources involving stakeholders (community, students, lecturers, etc) in proctection mangement; (c) to promote planting movement to enrich the Sulawesi endemic vegetation in the garden involving stakeholders; (d) to develop center of endemic vegetation of Sulawesi and (e) establishment of information and promotion center of UHO Botanical Garden to promote diversity of flora and fauna values as intangible value to support local economic development in the future.

DOI:10.26524/krj269 ABSTRACT Tamil Nadu has rich repository of medicinal plant wealth and equally threatened with several number of factors. There has been enumerated a total of 119 species Red Listed medicinal plants, from which 27 species have assessed global RL status. Fourteen species have been assigned Critically Endangered (CR) status, 27 species are Endangered (EN), 31 species are Vulnerable (VU) and 10 species are Near Threatened (NT). 18 of these Red Listed medicinal plant species have been recorded in high volume trade in the national level trade study. The present paper analysed the diversity status of endemic medicinal plant diversity, assessment methods, policy terms related to medicinal plant conservation and conservational areas in Tamil Nadu. Keywords: Endemic medicinal plants, Red Listed, threatened, endangered and conservation. 1. INTRODUCTION detailed knowledge of species distribution in particular landscape.
