  • Cepf Final Project Completion Report
    CEPF FINAL PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT I. BASIC DATA Organization Legal Name: Sano y Salvo Project Title (as stated in the grant agreement): Preventing Agricultural Encroachment Into Indo Maíz Biological Reserve and Cerro Silva Nature Reserve Through the Introduction of Sustainable Agriculture in Their Buffer Zones Implementation Partners for this Project: Project Dates (as stated in the grant agreement): 1.6.2004 – 31.8.2007 Date of Report (month/year): 7 January 2008 II. OPENING REMARKS Provide any opening remarks that may assist in the review of this report. The project developed fine; with some goals we are behind schedule, but that is no reason to worry about, because we continue the same kind of work anyway, because it is an essential part of our association's vision, mission (and statutes!) to save biodiversity, to rescue the biosphere of SE Nicaragua, to promote ecological agriculture and to prevent agricultural encroachment into Indo Maíz biological reserve and Cerro Silva natural reserve through the introduction, continuation and amplification of sustainable agriculture in their buffer zones, and beyond that: all over the Región Autónoma Atlántico Sur (and with first contacts to people in the RAAN, too) and in the department of Río San Juan as well. Part of the time the administrative communication between us and CEPF was difficult, because we did sometimes send quarterly reports sort of late, (caused by our big work load), and sometimes CEPF did not react on applications from us: we got wrong forms, CEPF sent correct ones 8 months later; we asked frequently for audio visual and printed material for our environment education campaigns, we never got it nor an answer, and in 2007 we did not get any money transferred until Christmas (where we got a small amount of the money CEPF owes us), although we had agreed upon and it was practice till 2006/IV that after each report the money is sent.

[email protected] cEnviromental Information System, Ministerio del Ambiente y los Recursos Naturales, Managua Nicaragua - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Forest fire, Monitoring, Change Detection, Ecosystem, Temporal, image ABSTRACT: A PC – based –NOAA satellite receiver, installed at the Ministerio del Ambiente y los Recursos Naturales (MARENA) headquarter in Managua, enable daily observations to be made on vegetation fires in Nicaragua and Central America. These observations are used particularly to assist and support operational forest management activities in Nicaragua. The technical approach and findings are presented with reference to forest fire in Nicaragua during the last five dry season (January-May 1999 to 2003). A Geographic Information System (GIS) is used in order to attempt to identify fire activity patterns. Spatial and time distributions of hot spot are assessed with regard to forest/land use type, coverage, population density, and rural poverty levels. Some features of fire activity in Nicaragua are highlighted by considering some local cases in particular. INTRODUCTION Fire is a very well utilized and efficient tool for agricultural In MARENA headquarter, since 1995 and under the technical purposes. But, the inadequate use of fire have had an adverse and financial cooperation from the National Resource Institute effect on the environment, such as destruction of commercial of England a PC-based NOAA satellite receiving ground station loggings, loss of biodiversity and threats to the security of was established of the series NOAA/AVHR (National communities among others.
