Outcome-based targets are needed to achieve biodiversity goals
Xenarthrans-anteaters, sloths, and armadillos-have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control nutrient cycling, playing key roles engineers. Because of habitat loss fragmentation, hunting pressure, conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 armadillos, 10 anteaters, 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7),...
Abstract Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential integrity landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value their habitat requirements guide management plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; Ursidae. Herein, we include published unpublished data on native terrestrial (Canidae;...
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet number in Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence abundance on mammal that (1) transposed geographical barrier (2) Neotropics. Our set composed 73,738 historical current georeferenced records alien which...
Abstract International funding is increasingly important in supporting conservation mega‐biodiverse countries. However, it remains unclear which donors invest objectives and where, making difficult to identify gaps key actors influence. Here we identified 1947 foreign‐aided projects South America's major deforestation frontiers summarized their interventions over time space. We found that conserving nature for its own sake ecosystem services remained objectives, but the types of varied...
This study evaluated Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) implementation in a smallholder settlement an Atlantic forest reserve Paraguay, designed to stop and reverse deforestation due expansion of subsistence agriculture, which was identified be the main or degradation threat that may spread beyond settlement. However, analysis test additionality PES revealed carrying capacity agriculture La Amistad prior 2009 4969 people, much higher than population size 472. implied agricultural unlikely...
This work presents the main biodiversity hotspots existing in Paraguayan Chaco and is an update of results obtained first Ecoregional Assessment Great American Chaco. These are a series workshops that included scientific technical discussions carried out by local experts zoology, botany, forestry, soil science, hydrogeology applying vision 25-30 years for territory, after overlapping maps assessment with advance changes land use territory. Criteria detecting were discussed, including:...
Abstract Aim Land‐use change and overexploitation are major threats to biodiversity, climate will exert additional pressure in the 21st century. Although there strong interactions between these threats, our understanding of synergistic compensatory effects on threatened species' range geography remains limited. Our aim was disentangle impact habitat loss, hunting species, using example endangered Chacoan peccary ( Catagonus wagneri ). Location Gran Chaco ecoregion South America. Methods...
This paper addresses the role of emergent organisations like Fundacion Moises Bertoni (FMB) in biosphere reserve conservation. FMB is a Paraguayan NGO that manages Mbaracayu Forest Nature Reserve (MR), largest remnant Upper Parana Atlantic Paraguay. The area inhabited by indigenous Ache and Guarani people. Working with Texas A&M University aided World Wildlife Fund Paraguay, hosted workshop MR to facilitate South-South technology transfer capacity building. In this role, fits characteristics...
In Paraguay the highest rate of deforestation was reached in 2000s, and some places protected areas are only remnant original ecosystem structure.Paraguay currently has 57 amounting to 15.2 per cent country under protection.In this paper we assess effectiveness Paraguayan system (SINASIP) for reptiles' conservation.We generate a matrix taxa × according 1,789 records 182 taxa.Areas with number documented species were Reserva Ecológica Banco San Miguel y Bahía de Asunción Recursos Manejados Ñu...
[Introducción]: El sistema de Áreas Protegidas del Paraguay fue creado por la Ley 352 en 1994 para poner orden el país. Desde 1954 se crearon un total 102 áreas protegidas. La categoría con mayor cantidad es “Reserva Natural” que cuadruplica a los Parques Nacionales y Monumentos Naturales. medición éxito SINASIP presentada históricamente una forma simplista, base periodos expansión superficie. [Objetivo]: Este estudio evaluó cobertura nacional protegidas, las categorías manejo análisis...
Agricultural systems result of the coevolution between social and natural systems, where biodiversity resources play an important role, emerging interactions crops environment that allow development ecological processes which interact with external inputs. This research aims to describe agricultural practices developed by Guarani Indigenous people in located within corridor Upper Parana Atlantic Forest. exploratory study is focused on multiple cases, a qualitative approach from data...
