  • Selva Central, Una Región Para Construir
    Selva central, una región para construir Luis García Calderón Introducción Desde la capital de la república, recorriendo poco más de trescien- tos kilómetros de carretera, se avizora la selva central, donde el folleto turístico ofrece naturaleza y aventura, así como expresio- nes culturales de indígenas y colonos. Chanchamayo y Satipo en Junín, junto con la provincia de Oxapampa en la selva pasqueña, comparten la oferta de ese folleto, pero con una realidad político administrativa que a pesar de su cercanía a Lima, es poco conocida y todo indica que tampoco ha sido correctamente comprendida. Junín y Pasco, al igual que las demás circunscripciones regio- nales, fueron creadas desde la demarcación departamental preexis- tente, considerando realidades andinas y de selva que en muchos casos no tenían conexión social, económica y/o vial, situación que ya arrastraba problemas de integración. Muchos de los analistas coinciden en señalar que iniciar un proceso de descentralización desde los departamentos ha sido tal vez el mayor error del proceso pero, por otro lado y sin razón valedera, se minimiza el hecho de que a pesar de todos los problemas de desconexión territorial y de asignación presupuestal, algunos departamentos hasta cierto punto venían construyendo una identidad gracias a sus tradicio- nes y su historia. Por su parte, la selva de Pasco y Junín, como 254 Selva central, una región para construir producto de su diversidad étnica, tenía un proceso de composición sociodemográfica muy particular, ajeno a lo que acontecía en el resto de las provincias de ambos departamentos, razón por la cual no se identificaban plenamente con ellos.

    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.

DEROGATIONS: NOTIFICATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 4 (3) OF THE COVENANT 22 March 1983 (Dated 18 March 1983) First notification: The Government has declared the extension of the state of emergency in the provinces of Huanta, La Mar, Cangallo, Victor Fajardo y Huamanga, in the Department of Ayacucho, Andahuaylas in the Department of Apurímac, and Angaraes, Tayacaja and Acobamba in the Department of Huancavelica and for a period of 60 days from the date of the issue of the Supreme Decree No. 003-83-IN of 25 February 1983. Suspension of the constitutional guarantees provided for in paragraphs 7, 9, 10 and 20 (g) of article 2 of the Political Constitution of Peru, which relate to the inviolability of the home, liberty of movement in the national territory, the right of peaceful assembly and the right to liberty and security of person. In a communication received by the Secretary-General on 4 April 1983, the Government of Peru specified that the state of emergency extended by Supreme Decree No. 003-83-IN of 25 February 1983 was originally proclaimed by Supreme Decree No. 026-81-IN of 12 October 1981.

Introduction: La route de Satipo est une destination ornitho encore très peu connue. Pourtant la biodiversité que l'on rencontre le long de cette route est similaire, si ce n'est supérieure, à celle que l'on trouve sur la fameuse route de Manu dans le sud du Pérou. La preuve : nous avons réussi à contacter plus de 500 espèces en seulement 12 jours, en incluant une journée avant le tour aux Lomas de Lachay, et une virée en mer après le tour. Cependant, personne n'a véritablement contacter ces 500 espèces. En effet, l'équipe s'est parfois divisé en deux groupes, et tout le monde n'a donc pas emprunté le même itinéraire. Les 503 espèces présentées dans ce rapport sont celles qui ont été contactées par l'ensemble des participants. Mais tout le monde a vu au moins 400 espèces en seulement 11 jours – ce qui est déjà remarquable !! Actuellement, Kolibri Expeditions débute un projet avec les communautés vivant le long de la route de Satipo afin de développer le secteur en destination éco-touristique.

  • Localized Agrifood Systems Dynamics and Geographical Indications As Ways to Reinforce Food Systems’ Sustainability? Case Studies in Mongolia and Peru
    Theme 5 – Sustainable agrifood systems, value chains and power structures Localized AgriFood Systems dynamics and Geographical Indications as ways to reinforce food systems’ sustainability? Case studies in Mongolia and Peru Stéphane Fourniera, Blandine Arvisb, Fanny Michaudb a Innovation, Montpellier SupAgro, Inra, Cirad, Univ Montpellier, France, [email protected] b Montpellier SupAgro, [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Localised AgriFood Systems (LAFS), particularly when they are reinforced by a Geographical Indication (GI) registration system, are seen as a sustainable model of production and trade. This paper interrogates this assertion. Seeking the bases of LAFS and GI sustainability, it examines their appearance and continuation throughout their development trajectory, first theoretically, then thanks to two case studies (“Villa Rica coffee” in Peru and “Uvs Seabuckthorn” in Mongolia). Theoretically, LAFS ability to induce a sustainable trajectory for local resources’ valorization is established. Different types of proximities, an institutionalization process and territorial solidarity may help overcome collective action blockages and contribute to constructing an innovation system, providing that local actors may interact with the system’s external environment. Clear threats appear however during LAFS expansion, as proximities and coordination capacity are necessarily reduced, whereas increase in production may induce a stronger competition. GI could then appear as the solution, being able to delimit production area and to reinforce local organizations within it. Put to the test, this model appears quite strong during the initial phases of LAFS development, but doesn’t capture the interactions between LAFS and the other production and trade models coexisting in the food systems. LAFS and GI, which need a strong producers’ involvement, are permanently challenged by other models in which producers can engage themselves individually (private brands, organic production, niche markets…).

UNDP Strategic Plan Primary Outcome: Growth is inclusive and sustainable, incorporating productive capacities that create employment and livelihoods for the poor and excluded. Expected CP Outcome(s): See UNDAF Outcome Expected CPAP Output(s): Management instruments designed and in early implementation that contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity at the local, regional and national scales. Executing Entity/Implementing Partner: National Protected Areas Service (SERNANP) Implementing Entity/Responsible Partners: UNDP Brief Description This project will transform the management of vulnerable ecosystems in Peru to alleviate the direct and indirect impacts of climate change (CC) on globally significant biodiversity and ecosystem functionality, through a three-pronged approach: development of management systems (monitoring and early warning systems, management decision making tools and sustainable financing) in order to optimize national readiness to address the implications of CC on ecosystems; expanding and strengthening PAs in landscapes that are particularly sensitive to CC, in order to protect refugia and corridors and build readiness to address specific CC impacts; and promoting sustainable land management in landscapes surrounding PAs in order to anticipate increased threats from current land uses for BD and ecosystem functions. This will reduce pressures on ecosystems and make them more resilient to expected CC impacts.
