Outline of the Project Project Title: Project for Strengthening Country: Republic of Honduras Adolescent Reproductive Health in Olancho Department in Honduras Issue/Sector: Health/Maternal and Child Cooperation Scheme: Technical Cooperation Health, Reproductive Health Project Division in Charge: Health Division 4, Total Cost (as of the moment of this evaluation): Human Development Department 383 million yen Partner Country’s Implementation Organization: Ministry of Health (Headquarter, Health Region Period of (R/D): June 2008 – May 2012, No.15) Cooperation 4 years) Supporting Organization in Japan: System Science Consultants Inc., NPO Health and Development Service (HANDS) 1-1. Background of the Project In the Republic of Honduras (hereinafter referred to as Honduras), 39% of the total population is under 15 years of age (World Health Organization: WHO, 2006), and the pregnancy in adolescence has been increasing, given the high proportion of the population of teenagers. Under the circumstance, deliveries at health facilities by women in adolescent years reached to 35% (Ministry of Health of Honduras, 2001) and the maternal mortality of young women has risen, as high as 391 out of 100,000 for the age group of 12-14 and 160 for the age group of 15-19. It is considered that the pregnancy in adolescence increases the risks of maternal and perinatal mortality, and it is a social issue associated with poverty, which can result in not only the unintended pregnancy but also the Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) and HIV/AIDS. It also has negative influences on the growing up process and the issues related to school attendance and education.

La historia dice que los primeros habitantes no indios procedieron del pueblo de San Jorge de Olancho, fundado en 1,611 por don Pedro Alvarado en el lugar llamado Boquerón que estaba situado al pie del volcán del mismo nombre, pero el pueblo fue destruido por la erupción de éste volcán en 1,611 y sus habitantes huyeron según historia en dos direcciones: Una parte se dirigió al norte del país y fundaron Olanchito en el Departamento de Yoro y la otra ocuparon el pueblo indio de Xuticalpa, más tarde conocido como La Ciudad de Juticalpa. En el recuento de población de 1,791 aparece como San Juan Xuticalpa dependiente del Curato de Manto. El 16 de julio de 1,835 se le concedió el título de Ciudad siendo jefe de Estado don Joaquín Rivera. LÍMITES: Juticalpa limita al Este con el Municipio de San Francisco de Becerra, sirviendo en parte de línea divisoria El Río Guayape en el lugar conocido con el nombre de “Paso Real”, también limita por el mismo rumbo con el Municipio de Santa María del Real, extendiéndose por este lado hasta el lugar llamado “El Ciénego”, entre Juticalpa y Catacamas. 2 Al Norte limita con el Municipio de San Francisco de la Paz, antes Zapota, extendiéndose por ese lado hasta la Quebrada de “La Pozolera” en el camino a San Francisco de la Paz, por el Norte y Noreste limita con los Municipios de San Juan de Guarizama, Manto y Silca, extendiéndose hasta la Quebrada de “El Uval” y la montaña de donde desciende el Río Comunayaca, afluente principal del río Juticalpa por la margen izquierda.

  • Rediscovery of the Honduran Emerald Amazilia Luciae in Western Honduras
    Bird Conservation International (2010) 20:255–262. ª BirdLife International, 2010 doi:10.1017/S0959270910000389 Rediscovery of the Honduran Emerald Amazilia luciae in western Honduras: insights on the distribution, ecology, and conservation of a ’Critically Endangered’ hummingbird DAVID L. ANDERSON, PAUL HOUSE, ROBERT E. HYMAN, RICARDO STEINER, H. ROSS HAWKINS, SHERRY THORN, MANUEL J. REY, MARIO R. ESPINAL and LEONEL E. MARINEROS Summary The Honduran Emerald Amazilia luciae is endemic to dry forests of Honduras and currently recognised as ‘Critically Endangered.’ Here we present the first modern assessment of its distribution, ecology, and conservation, based partly on our rediscovery of the species in western Honduras and on our observations in three Honduran departments. We found that dry forests inhabited by the emerald differed in structure and species composition between eastern and western Honduras, where we observed emeralds in open-canopied deciduous thorn forests and closed-canopied semi-deciduous woodlands, respectively. We interpret these differences in light of the geological and anthropogenic origins of dry forests in Honduras, and discuss the implications of such origins for the conservation of dry forests. Although our findings expand the known distribution and population size of the species, its status as ‘Critically Endangered’ is warranted due to its restricted distribution in dry forest fragments and increasing human pressures on this habitat. Resumen El Esmeralda Honduren˜ o Amazilia luciae es una especie ende´mica del bosque seco en Honduras que actualmente es considerada Criticamente Amenazada.

A social assessment was carried out as part of project preparation with the following objectives: (a) to evaluate existing patterns of resource ownership, management and use among different groups and institutions in the project area; (b) to identify stake-holders who should be involved in preparation and implementation and to obtain their inputs on project scope and design; (c) to identify potentially negative impacts of proposed activities on vulnerable groups in the population, including women Public Disclosure Authorized and indigenous groups, and design measures to prevent or mitigate these impacts; and (d) to identify opportunities to build local capacity of NGOs, producer and traditional organizations and local government to plan and carry out project activities. A Participation Action Plan was prepared as one product of that social assessment. This annex summarizes the findings of the social assessment and the recommendations that have been included in the Participation Action Plan. This includes findings and recommendations on indigenous peoples and gender concerns and a matrix extracting costs of activities related to participation and incorporation of special interest groups from the overall cost tables.

Understanding the ecology of at-risk species is the foundation for developing strategies to counteract continued population declines. The Honduran Emerald (Amazilia luciae) is an endemic hummingbird that inhabits tropical dry forest in Honduras. Remaining populations of this endangered species are restricted to habitat fragments located in landscapes dominated by agricultural activities. The conservation of this species is dependent on efforts to protect existing dry forest remnants and to restore additional areas. However, limited information exists regarding Honduran Emerald habitat use on which to base management decisions. We conducted a study to identify point-level habitat features that are important to Honduran Emerald abundance. In 2014–2015, we conducted avian and vegetation surveys at 174 points located within dry forest remnants.

    HONDURAS, CENTRAL AMERICA: A BRIEF REVIEW of its SPELEAFERS, its CONGLOMERATE CAVES, the 2009 SPELEOSPHERE POZO del PORTILLO EFFORT, and the SPELEOLOGICAL POTENTIAL of the MONTAÑA de la FLOR STRUCTURAL BELT In Central America, the Republic of Honduras is second only to Guatemala in caves and karst resources. The best known speleafer in Honduras is the Aptian-Albian (mid-Cretaceous) Atima Formation, a limestone unit first described by Mills et al. (1967), who named the formation after the pueblo of that name and the nearby Río Atima. Mills et al. noted that the Río Atima entered a large cave near the Atima type section, to resurge 1.5 to the north, on the opposite side of a mountain ridge. This casual statement was probably the first mention of this great river cave in an English publication. Other early mentions of caves in Honduras are primarily found in archeological reports, with little description of speleological aspects. The Atima Limestone Speleafer: The Atima Formation is the most widespread carbonate unit in Honduras, with many exposures from the Guatemalan border on the west to the Nicaraguan border on the east. It hosts Honduras’ most spectacular karst zones: the great Montañas de Colón fold and thrust belt of intensely karstified Atima, and the Montaña de Santa Bárbara block of high karst. Not surprisingly, the Atima limestone hosts most of Honduras’ best caves, including Honduras’ longest and deepest known caves: Cueva Quebrada Susmay, 6359 m long (Hawkins and McKenzie, 1993; Sivelli and De Grande, 1998; Sivelli, pers. com., 2010); Sumidero Maigual, -420 m deep (Knutson, 1981).
