Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
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.

Monitoring Ecosystems and Biodiversity at a Continental Scale—A Proposal for South America
Monitoring Ecosystems and Biodiversity at a Continental Scale—A Proposal for South America Dr. Xavier Silva, Director, IDB-TNC Ecoregional Project, South America. Teacher and Lecturer, San Francisco de Quito University. Board Member, OÏKOS Foundation Abstract—A monitoring system plan is being developed in South America to assess critically endangered ecoregions. The system will be based on a previous ecosystem and biodiversity inventory developed through a large gap analysis program in five South American ecoregions. The monitoring system will include three main elements: (1) Landscape Ecology: vegetation cover, fragmentation and deforestation, infrastruc- ture (road, dams, pipelines); (2) Biological guidelines: species richness, endemism, endangered species and species of a particular interest; and (3) Conservation Policy and Socio-Economic guidelines: national protected areas systems, conservation policies, human population on important areas, main economic activities and other. Such a sys- tem is an important need for governments and private organizations in South America, especially to detect critical sites and socio-political issues before the environmental problems become too large. Introduction and Background Among the results, 6,473 species of flora and fauna have been analyzed (each one with a map indicating it’s Environmental surveillance at a continental scale is potential geographic distribution), and over 6,500 the- an important conservation requirement in vast territo- matic maps have been produced, indicating vegetation ries, such as in South America, where large and diverse types, centers of high diversity and endemism, current ecoregions are being altered by a number of unsustainable and potential threats, forest fragmentation, infrastructure, location of protected areas, and basic socio-economical development practices (Busch and Trexler 2003, World information. -

Mapping the Funding Landscape for Biodiversity Conservation in Peru
MAPPING THE FUNDING LANDSCAPE FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION IN PERU BY KATIA SOFIA NAKAMURA LAM THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Assistant Professor Daniel C. Miller, Adviser Associate Professor Richard Brazee Dr. Anthony Waldron, National University of Singapore ABSTRACT Financial resources are crucial to effective biodiversity conservation. Globally, research shoWs that conservation-related eXpenditures are directed toWards countries of high biodiversity importance, even as funding floWs are Well beloW estimates of financial need. The absence of sufficient funding makes the effective and efficient use of the available resources even more imperative. Empirical evidence on previous funding floWs is necessary to develop a baseline for comparison, identification of funding gaps, and assessment of ultimate impacts. To date, hoWever, knoWledge of the distribution of funding Within countries remains very limited. This study, therefore, analyzes the conservation funding landscape in Peru, a mega-diverse country, to shed light on the nature and trends of support for biodiversity and the factors shaping funding allocation at the sub-national level. I carried out desk-based and field research to collect as much data as possible on conservation finance in Peru from 2009, the year the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment Was founded, to 2015, the last year for which full data were available. Information collected covered a range of public and private, domestic and international sources. Overall, I found that 19% of the funding for conservation in Peru derived from domestic sources and 81% from international ones during the study period. -

Indone- sian peatlands are subject to much greater anthropogenic activity than Peru’s, including drainage, logging, agricultural conversion, and burning, resulting in high greenhouse gas and particulate emissions. To derive insights from the Indonesian experience, we explored patterns of impact in the two countries, and compared their predisposing factors. Impacts differ greatly among Indonesian regions and the Peruvian Amazon in the following order: Sumatra > Kalimantan > Papua > Peru. All impacts, except fire, are positively related to population density.

The Peru Amazon Rainforest Project Project Vision
Welcome to the Peru Amazon Rainforest Project The Peru Amazon Rainforest Project works with carefully selected partners to actively help protect the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon rainforest, which is the biggest and most diverse rainforest in the world, covers more than half of Peru and is home to thousands of unique and endangered animals, plants and ecosystems. You will be based with our local project partner Crees (www.crees-manu.org) – a Peruvian based non-profit founded in 2002 to support a sustainable Amazon through better understanding of the value of the rainforest, and by helping local people to access its resources in ways that are both profitable and that will preserve the forest for the future. Crees stands for conservation, research and environmental education towards sustainability and sets to prove that ethical and sustainable practices can produce and create an improved future. Crees is now the leading conservation and sustainable development non-profit organisation working in the Manu Biosphere Reserve. The work that is being done by the project – with the support of volunteers – is vital for the welfare of the Amazon not just in Manu, but all throughout Peru and South America. Project vision Crees’ vision is to create a sustainable Amazon where humankind and nature can support one another through balance, respect and innovation. They aim to achieve this through: • striving not only for conservation of the rainforest, but also for economic, social and environmental harmony. • developing strategic, proactive and ecologically sound programmes, by managing and developing sustainable eco-friendly facilities and by being leaders in logistics and operations of educational programmes.
