Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Upper Rio Orthon Basin of Pando, Bolivia, is a transition zone between moister lowland Amazonian forests and dryer deciduous forests. This largely unexplored region potentially harbors one of the most richly biodiverse aquatic systems within Bolivia, if not within the Amazon River basin. A multinational and multidisciplinary team of scientists surveyed the area to provide a baseline assessment of its biological and conservation value as well as the current and future threats facing the region. In just over two intensive weeks, scientists surveyed water quality, zooplankton, benthic macroinvertebrates, crustaceans, fishes, and genetics. The Upper Rio Orthon Basin of Pando, Bolivia is a transitional zone between moist, lowland Amazonian forests and dry, deciduous forests. This region potentially harbours rich, biodiverse aquatic systems. This work seeks to offer an assessment of the area's biological and conservational value.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This report contains the findings from marine biological assessments of fifty-two sites around the coast of Bali. The purpose of the survey was to collect data on biodiversity and coral reef health in order to provide recommendations for the government of Bali to establish a network of marine protected areas. The team found high diversity and endemism, including at least fifteen species, including many reef fishes and corals that were previously unknown to science. Many coral reefs that had been historically damaged are recovering surprisingly well, yet several threats and management problems remain. Detailed conservation recommendations also are provided.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Based on Conservation International's successful terrestrial biological survey approach, the Marine Rapid Assessment Program's goal is to rapidly generate and disseminate information on coastal and near-shore shallow-water marine biodiversity. Its surveys yield appropriate and realistic recommendations for conservationand have, at times, resulted in the finding of new species.This marine assessment surveys the coral reefs of Papua New Guinea's Milne Bay Province, which plays an integral role in sustaining coastal communities and represents an important component of the nation's rich natural heritage. Until recently, this environment was under minimal stress, threatened only by a small human population. Now, however, there are increasing signs of habitat degradation due to land-based activities and over-harvesting of sedentary marine resources. Milne Bay Province contains some of the best examples of undisturbed coral reefs in the entire Coral Triangle region, making it vitally important for both government agencies and communities to respond to these threats.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For three weeks, in November and December of 2000, Conservation International's Rapid Assessment Program collaborated with a group of fourteen scientistsfrom Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, and the United Statesto survey the aquatic ecosystem of the Caura River in Venezeula. The area, part of the Guayana Shield, represents one of the most pristine watersheds in South America, due in large part to the excellent stewardship of its principle indigenous group, the Ye'kwana. It nonetheless faces a number of threats, ranging from a major hydroelectric dam and increased fishing pressure to rises in both tourism and agriculture. This assessment documents the Caura River Basin's aquatic biodiversity, with pleasing results, including the tripling of the number of fish species known by science in the upper Caura and the identification of almost 400 species of plants, 87 species of aquatic insects, and four species of crab. As always, the report includes several recommendations for conserving this ecologically significant area. This assessment surveys the aquatic ecosystem of the Caura River in Venezuala, an area which represents one of the most pristine watersheds in South America.
