This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract The biodiversity hotspot of the Equatorial Pacific region in western Ecuador and northwestern Peru comprises the most extensive seasonally dry forest formations west of the Andes. Based on a recently assembled checklist of the woody plants occurring in this region, we analysed their geographical and altitudinal distribution patterns. The montane seasonally dry forest region (at an altitude between 1,000 and 1,100 m, and the smallest in terms of area) was outstanding in terms of total species richness and number of endemics. The extensive seasonally dry forest formations in the Ecuadorean and Peruvian lowlands and hills (i.e., forests below 500 m altitude) were comparatively much more species poor. It is remarkable though, that there were so many fewer collections in the Peruvian departments and Ecuadorean provinces with substantial mountainous areas, such as Ca- jamarca and Loja, respectively, indicating that these places have a potentially higher number of species. We estimate that some form of protected area (at country, state or private level) is currently conserving only 5% of the approximately 55,000 km2 of remaining SDF in the region, and many of these areas protect vegetation at altitudes below 500 m altitude. -

Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) For
Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for “Biogas applications for the Brazilian agro‐industry” The purpose of the ESMP is to ensure that social and environmental impacts, risks and liabilities identified are effectively managed during the phase of procurement of selected bioenergy pilot projects and during the implementation of the technical assistance components of the proposed project. The ESMP specifies the mitigation, adaptation, prevention and management measures and shows how the project will mobilize organizational capacity and resources to account for the factors evaluated in order to implement the compiled measures. The ESMP also shows how mitigation and management measures will be scheduled. The key objectives of the ESMP are: To outline mitigation measures against the possible degradation of the areas; To enhance positive aspects brought by the project; To ensure that the project will comply with relevant environmental legislation of Brazil; To identify roles and responsibilities and the cost involved; To propose mechanisms for monitoring compliance; To provide adequate channels of input for the different stakeholders throughout the project activity; and To establish proven mechanisms to correct/adjust the findings resulting from the monitoring activity and to include the input received throughout the project activity. The ESMP is a live document for project activities that will be updated as and when required. The ESMP acts as a quick guide for contractors and project implementers to enhance positive impacts and eliminate or minimize the occurrence of negative impacts through proposed mitigations measures. The ESMP relies on the following key principles: Compliance with local, national and international laws The project will empower individuals and groups, particularly the most marginalized, to realize their rights and interests, and to ensure that they fully participate throughout the development and implementation of projects. -
Jaguars As Landscape Detectives for the Conservation of Atlantic Forests in Brazil
Jaguars as Landscape Detectives for the Conservation of Atlantic Forests in Brazil by Laury Cullen Jr. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Biodiversity Management Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) University of Kent Canterbury November 2006 ii Dedication In dedication to the loving memory of my father Laury Cullen (1934-2002) (Photo by Laury Cullen Jr.) “ the jaguar was sent to the world as a test of the will and integrity of first humans” (Colombian indigenous myth, Davis 1996) iii Abstract In this thesis, I show how the jaguar Panthera onca can be used as a landscape detective. A landscape detective is defined as a species that helps determine how to manage landscapes and to design and manage protected area networks. Life history and behavioural features of jaguar make them potentially suitable as landscape species. The main aim of this study is to use the jaguar as a landscape detective to develop a network of core protected areas for the Upper Paraná Region, which lies in the highly threatened Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Information was collected on jaguar density and home range, which was combined with habitat requirements of the species and GIS-generated maps of land cover to develop a map of habitat suitability. This map was used to understand the spatial structure of the jaguar metapopulation, identifying habitat patches of high suitability where jaguar populations exist and are likely to survive over the long-term. Camera trapping and capture-recapture models were used to derive jaguar population size in Morro do Diabo State Park (MDSP). -

Banning Goats Could Exacerbate Deforestation of the Ecuadorian Dry Forest – How the Effectiveness of Conservation Payments Is Influenced by Productive Use Options
2016 Vol. 70 · No. 1 · 49–67 BANNING GOATS COULD EXACERBATE DEFORESTATION OF THE ECUADORIAN DRY FOREST – HOW THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSERVATION PAYMENTS IS INFLUENCED BY PRODUCTIVE USE OPTIONS W. SANTIAGO OCHOA M., CAROLA PAUL, LUZ MARÍA CASTRO, LIZ VALLE and THOMAS KNOKE With 5 figures, 3 tables and appendix Received 13 July 2015 · Accepted 16 December 2015 Summary: Due to ongoing conversion of the dry forests of southern Ecuador to pasture and farmland, they are among the most threatened ecosystems globally. This study explored how to control deforestation in the region while securing the livelihoods of local people through land-use diversification and compensation payments. Results are based on interview data collected from 163 households near the Laipuna Reserve in southern Ecuador. Combining modern financial theory and von Thünen’s theory of land distribution, we optimized land-use shares of two types of forest management (banning and allow- ing goat grazing) and three crops (maize, beans and peanuts). Land-use portfolios were calculated for four different farm sizes, represented by the quartiles of the farm size distribution. We found that goat grazing was important for diversifying farm income and reducing financial risks for all farm sizes. However, forest area would still be converted to cropland under the current financial coefficients. The amount of compensation needed to maintain current forest cover was calculated for two different scenarios: 1) banning goat grazing and 2) allowing forest use where the farmer could decide how much for- est area would be allocated to each land-use option. Offering financial compensation for forest preservation (Scenario 1) reduced deforestation but would still lead to a conversion of at least 23 % of current forests to croplands. -

This study evaluates the growth and morphological behavior of five native forest species of the Brazilian Mixed Ombrophilous Forest under shading levels of 90%, 50%, and 0%. The species were measured for height to root collar diameter (RCD) ratio (H:D), leaf area (LA), Dickson’s quality index (DQI), and stem, leaf, and root biomass. The LA did not differ among the treatments for three species and did not differ among species in full sun. The results for H:D ratio, DQI, and biomass indicate better growth in treatments with greater light availability. The species are recommended to be used as follows: Cedro-vermelha in full sun; Tarumã-azeitona, Ingá-doce, and Ocotea-guaicá in varying environmental conditions; and Branquilho-bravo in 50% shade and full sun conditions.
