The moment is favourable to wish our readers and members the greatest desires of prosperity for the year 2006.

The present document is a brief review on the main results achieved by BIODAMAZ in the year 2005, it comes at the very moment when the new General Law of the Environment is promulgated which assumes, in the same way that us do, new challenges and demands in order to link the biodiversity to the environment, to improve people well-being, to strengthen the capacities of the decision makers, as well to establish approaches and instruments that will facilitate the processes aimed to the development of the regions and the country, assuming each individual his responsibilities.

BIODAMAZ, in fulfilling the proposal of sustainable development in the Peruvian Amazon, this year 2005 have obtained excellent results through the implementation of three Components: five proposals of regional strategies were obtained (Loreto, Amazonas, Madre de Dios, San Martín and Ucayali), The starting of the Service Platform to promote Biotrade,  The macro socioeconomic zoning to fortify the process of the Ecological Economical Zoning (EEZ) of the Peruvian Amazon.

Besides, in the area of information and communication, the new version of SIAMAZONIA has taken a great step ahead as a tool for the management of biodiversity.
El ecosystemic management of flooded forests, as well as the results obtained in organizations strengthening, management of biodiversity resources and the development of economical alternatives at the National Reserve Allpahuayo Mishana RNAM, they are consolidating strong capacities on the population for the sustainable management of the communal biodiversity.

The achieved results showed here are evident, and those teach us that the efforts made to affront the complex reality of the conservation and use of the Amazon biological diversity have to be done by means of a serious intervention, knowledge and applying for that innovative and participatory technological approaches that guarantee a permanent presence and commitment of the citizenship, and local, nationals and international institutions directly related, through that the achievements of our work will reflect the Project desired sustainability.
In this year we have also been witness of the increase of population’s commitment for the environmental problems, especially for the biological diversity, that indicates: “In this long path, the sustainable use, the efficient management and the strengthening of decentralized capacities are the focus of the priorities for the Amazon society”.
The results we attain became basic instruments to provide support to the regional and international process of decentralization, the improvement of the process in South America and to strengthen business trades.
We will like to give our sincere thanks to the associated institutions members of the Directors Committee and to the Superior Council of the project, as well as to the local communities and to the principal representatives of the Amazon civil society for its participation, support and motivation to achieve the results of the year 2005.

This process initiated in 2004 in the frame of the Global, National and Amazon Strategy,  resulted in five document containing strategy proposals considered as the integral frames, guiding the policies of conservation and sustainable use biodiversity resources in each region. Each one of those documents includes as referential frame a diagnosis of reality; a strategic frame with vision, mission and strategic objectives, and an action plan for the next five years.

The proposals have been evaluated by the members of the Technical Groups for Biological Diversity and presented in the Regional Environmental Commissions in each region; moreover they have been placed in “SIAMAZONIA” to facilitate the consultation and the access by all interested persons.


The common purposes for the regional strategies for biological diversity are: to increase the knowledge, to promote the education and research, to reverse the deterioration processes, to generate sustainable productive alternatives, and to valuate the traditional knowledge in the frame of a participative and agreed management.
The results also showed particularities by region, which allows us to recognize their specific needs; for example: In the Loreto region, priorities are the biotechnology studies and the territorial ordering, while in the Amazon region they propose to prioritize the creation of regional areas for conservation, taking into consideration and valuating native knowledge. San Martin region, prioritize actions to stop environmental deterioration by means of reforestation and agriculture biodiversity.
Ucayali prioritizes actions related to the productive lines of biodiversity as farming biodiversity components. In the case of Madre de Dios region priorities are set for forest management with non timber forest products, as Brazil nut, and rubber including ecotourism.
This management instruments have to support the Amazon regions in the processes of internal and external negotiations, especially on those related to integration processes, as the transoceanic road in the frame of the IIRSA program and the process of the coming North American Free Trade Agreement.
Those biodiversity strategies are now in the hands of regional governments for its formal approval, they state the purpose of integrating conservation with socio economic development.
Generally the process has been promoted by the Regional Governments, the National Environmental Council (CONAM), the Peruvian Amazon Research Institute (IIAP), with the assistance of public and private organizations, as well as contribution of the civil society.

Implementar las estrategias comprende una serie de acciones concretas, así contamos con el SIAMAZONIA, la plataforma de biocomercio, la elaboración de proyectos para la Conservación y Uso Sostenible de la Biodiversidad (CUS), el fortalecimiento de capacidades en aspectos claves de la gestión, ZEE, entre otros.

En relación a la elaboración de proyectos durante el año se concretaron distintas iniciativas, una de ellas se realizaron con la Confederación de Nacionalidades de la Amazonía Peruana - CONAP, como parte de un Programa de formulación de proyectos sobre conservación y uso sostenible de la biodiversidad amazónica en comunidades indígenas, destacándose cuatro:

Manejo comunal de recursos pesqueros amazónicos; manejo forestal comunal, aprovechamiento y reforestación; fortalecimiento de ecoturismo en comunidades Awajun del Alto Marañón; Fortalecimiento de capacidades de gestión de bionegocios de Grupos de Interés de los pueblos indígenas Ashaninca y Yanesha de la Provincia de Oxapampa, Selva Central.
 

Adicionalmente se elaboraron perfiles centrados en las prioridades de CUS de la biodiversidad de las regiones, como por ejemplo el proyecto de manejo de bosques inundables con enfoque ecosistemico en Iquitos y reforestación en la Región San Martín.

Esta cartera de proyectos es la base inicial para la gestión ante la cooperación nacional e internacional, pues recoge las iniciativas de diferentes actores amazónicos y esta centrada en aspectos sustanciales del Convenio de la Diversidad Biológica (CDB), la Estrategia Nacional de la Diversidad Biológica (ENDB) y la Estrategia Regional de la Diversidad Biológica de la Amazonía (ERDBA), que busca fortalecer aspectos de equidad y generación de oportunidades de inversión y empleo. Un aspecto importante es reconocer la participación de los Gobiernos Regionales de San Martin y Loreto, CONAM, el IIAP Y CONAP.

In the Peruvian Amazon the year 2005 marked the beginning of a new way to promote biotrade, thanks to the initiation of a services platform which purpose is to promote the investments and the exchange of regional chains of production based on resources of the Amazon Biodiversity, that take into account conservations principles and sustainable use (CSU) of those resources, as well as equity and the distribution of resources in all steps and levels of those chains. There is no better way to achieve the regional development.

This platform has been conceived as a group of informatics and personalized services that will be gradually offered starting from this year, initiating with a first version that will, later on, be enlarged by stages, until the construction of the total design is completed.

En la práctica esta etapa funcionara como una de validación, en la que se recogen opiniones sobre su utilidad y practicidad, con miras a mejorarla, mientras se completa el diseño definitivo.

Este año se presenta en la plataforma cuatro líneas o cadenas priorizadas, correspondientes a cuatro regiones amazónicas: peces ornamentales en Loreto, orquídeas en San Martín y madera con valor agregado en Ucayali, castaña orgánica en Madre de Dios. Cuatro equipos de jóvenes consultores sistematizaron parte de la información sobre las cadenas indicadas, encargándose el equipo técnico de BIODAMAZ de completar el trabajo.

En cada una de estas cadenas productivas es posible encontrar información con visión empresarial sobre mercados, tecnología, manejo del recurso, financiamiento, certificación, comercialización, actores que participan en la cadena, políticas regionales y nacionales, etc.

Inicialmente la plataforma será ubicada en SIAMAZONIA, pero se prevé que en el futuro se independizará, esperándose que alcance un nivel de desarrollo tan elevado como elevada es la voluntad de progreso de la región.

In this version it is offered free access to basic information and some directories related to four products. In the future the information already mentioned will be extended and articulated among them and with other services of SIAMAZONIA, as with other information systems, becoming more interactive and diversified in function to the total of products that the platform will offer.

In the year 2005 the system of managerial information of the BIODAMAZ project (SIGB) started to operate, this is an informatics tool used by all the project team to control, monitor, evaluate and improve the operations done by BIODAMAZ. So the project has become the first executed with support of the Finland cooperation that puts on practice this system.

The system is conformed by two great modules: Solution Enterprise Project Manager – EPM Solution that contains all the monitoring and evaluating activities of the physical part of the project. The Financial and Administrative SIGB that comprises all the administration activities, as logistic, book keeping, personnel, human resources and others.

It is an application in intranet mode, developed by informatics specialists of the BIODAMAZ project that besides the processes already mentioned, contains global processes that are carried out by al the project members.

 

The operability of the system and the results of efficiency in the management of resources is a demonstration that it can be replicated in other projects and administration processes of public and private organizations.

Organizational Strengthening for the Local Empowerment


   

By means of technical assistance and advising to the communal organizations there has been generated in the population and their authorities, natural resources management capacities.

The internal regulations have been revised as well as the elaboration of adaptative management plans to obtain permission for the use of the resources, permissions are granted by the headquarters of the RNAM (INRENA), the recognition by the respective entities to the right of getting a title for their territories (10 villages recognized as rural communities and 5 with titles); the interrelation with the institutions of the state and municipalities was promoted, making easier the access to food and health programs, service improvement by means of educational and productive infrastructure.

In the RNAM the work among institutions has been carried out in a coordinated way. In the education theme, it exist a better complementation, institutions like Fe y Alegria 47, CARITAS and the UNAP, accomplish a participatory work and feed back learning. Now we count with park guards qualified in protection, conservation and social extension service for inhabitants of the reserve. Also, in six communities we count with local residents that make of Voluntaries Park guards, who are in charged of the protection and care of the reserve, to accomplish their tasks; they have been trained and have permanent advising. The work of the administration committee has been reinforced by technical assistance, advising and the support in ordinary assemblies.

While this process is strengthen, there are direct or indirect factors that we must overcome, as it is the case of malaria, the influence of some leaders that have different interests than the majority of the population, the past experiences of asistentialism and parentalism by part of diverse institutions that still remain in the collective mind, the low levels of scholarship, low soil productivity and the un even chances for product commercialization, among others. These factors influence in achievement of some activities on which it’s required an active participation. The community participation and representative participation of the leaders and authorities, conduce to the improvement of the management and local empowerment, those are previous step to provide more precise answer leading to other organization forms like the ones related to the markets.

 

In case of the organizational and institutional strengthening, these will still be a process because continuous interrelation and feed back learning that leads always to the improvement of the arrangements to obtain the development of the communities.


Promotion of Integral Farms

 

Animal farming, agriculture, forestry management activities were established; it was also established pond fishery which is one of the potential economical activities on 38 familiar productive units (UPF’s); we prioritize 12 them, to accelerate the process of establishment and to be used as models for extension to the rest of the members.

On the planning stage we took into consideration the actual use and posterior ordering of soil use, determining areas by their capacity for sustainable use or conservation, for agricultural use, protection areas, forest management areas (enrichment) and conservation on fragile ecosystems. On the agricultural part, we promote the association of leguminous species as "canavalia" and "mucuna", as well as fruit-trees with commercial value, through a diversification system aimed to obtain benefit during all seasons of the year. The animal farming production, especially chicken production actually benefits 38 families, we promote management practices and results are contributing to obtain better yields on the productive management of minor animals that will contribute to minimize the use of the wild animals of the RNAM.

 

Added Value to Biodiversity Products

 
   

Two lines of products have being promoted. The use of “chambira” fibber and natural dyes, complemented with seeds obtained from the forest.

Important and useful things are produced, like bags, purses and back packs. The craftswoman and craftsmen have strengthened their knowledge, talent and skills though out two workshops and though out the participation in a regional fair. Actually they are elaborating products with an acceptable level of presentation which permits better chances to be articulated to markets.

With regard to the use of plants with pharmaceutical properties, to improve production techniques and marketing training was provided to partners of two communities of the Nanay River. Know they are in the condition of producing pomades, dyers and solutions made from barks, those products have the approval of regional and national markets. e viene promoviendo dos líneas de productos. El uso de la fibra de chambira y tintes naturales, complementados con semillas del bosque.

 

Promotion of pond fishery activities

 

   

Self consumption production, for the may 2005 to march 2006 campaign, started in 42 ponds belonging to same number of member families, the total area is of 132 hectares of ponds. With help of the BIODAMAZ project, 62,000 “boquichicos” were introduced to the ponds, as well as 4,000 “carachamas” and 1,100 “churos”, this last two species have the capacity to reproduce in captivity.

The commercial production has started in November with 50,000 larvae of “gamitana” in the communities of Samito and San Martin, strategic communities for the distribution of young fish to the rest of the communities in the month of January of 2006. The harvest of “gamitana” is expected to occur by November of the same year. These experiences will permit the validation of the technical and socioeconomic aspect of in situ production, in field, condition of these species. Pond fishery is relatively new in the RNAM, although good results are envisioned. 

 

Environmental education and communication in the National Reserve Allpahuayo Mishana

   

The local population of the reserve, the urban population of Iquitos and groups of interested in the national area, receive the information through informative meetings, directed talks, technique visits, festivals, workshops, television and radio programs and educational material. The spreading of information was centered in three main topics: creation and legal base, biodiversity and conservation subjects, tourist’s potentiality and interpretation center of the National Reserve Allpahuayo Mishana.

With the active participation of 120 teachers capacitated by BIODAMAZ in subjects of conservation and sustainable use of the biological diversity of the RNAM, we have achieved the introduction of those subjects in the curricular plans of 63 educational institutions of the Rural Educational Program Fe y Alegria 47 of the Iquitos – Nauta road and of the Nanay River banks.

The adult, juvenile and children population of 19 communities of the RNAM, have developed a program of management of “taricayas”, that included a 15 day training period in the National Reserve Pacaya Samiria that had as result in the installation of 155 “taricaya” nests (approximately 4,500 eggs) in artificial beaches, with the successful hatching of 85% of the eggs, we have repopulated 9 swamps and 5 ravines, with approximately 3,690 offspring.

The technology transfer and capacitating activities were supported with educational materials, just like the informative panel placed in the basin of the Nanay River; they also maintained a fluid communication between the principal actors of the RNAM (population, authorities and institutions) through the production and distribution of 10 numbers of the “Varillin” bulletin, that is published monthly with the contribution of the people from the RNAM with written reports.

 

Calendars in the number of 2,200 showing the Maps of the Economic and Ecological Zonification of the RNAM were distributed, with this material people was informed about species and principal ecosystems, the well use of resources, and the limits and location of the RNAM; it is now used as the principal “educational material” in the education institutions of the RNAM and for orientation in the use of the natural resources.

Introducing the socioeconomic dimension in the Ecological Economical Zonification, requires the elaboration of a methodological frame that permits the adequate treatment of the existing information and its spatial representation. A state of the art base line, is the incorporation of socioeconomic variables in the ZEE studies. This has been the principal contribution of the conceptual and methodological frame of this proposal; which permits the identification of appropriate treatments for the analysis units.

The application of this methodological instrument permits the identification of 68 Homogenous Socioeconomic Units URH, which were characterized preliminarily in:

Strongly Articulated Spaces EFA, one or various urban centers with a population larger than 50,000, differentiated by the origin of its population: Predominantly river people and Andean colons.
Intermediates Spaces EI, with absence of an articulating urban center, with populated centers with population between 5,000 and 500, predominantly Andean colons.
Strongly Disarticulated Spaces EFD, with populated centers with less than 500 people with the fluvial net as the principal way of articulation and delimitated by hydrographical basins and micro basins and differed by the origin of its population in: Predominantly river people, predominantly Andean colons and predominantly indigenous.

These identified, characterized and evaluated URH will generate the Socioeconomic Units that overlaid to the Ecological Units will permit the delimitation of Ecological Economical Units; those units after evaluation will facilitate the determination of the Ecological Economical Zones of the Peruvian Amazon.

In this process, the Socioeconomic Macrozonification gives complementary information for an adequate management of the territory to promote competiveness and human development. The practical use of to provide information to decision makers (Central and Regional Government, investment men, social actors, and scientific communities) about the socioeconomic reality of the Amazon.

The production of the base maps for the attainment of preliminary URH, has advanced with the map related to “establishment pattern by the distribution of populated centers”, “intervenient areas by deforested areas”, “fluvial and viable nets”, “patterns of human occupation by cultural diversity” and of “economical fronts according to predominant economical activities”.

Since the beginning research had in mind some hypothesis that had to do with the articulation of economic regional spaces in the national economy. There has been the preliminary identification that the Peruvian Amazon is articulated to other economical macro regions of the country by five big markets relatively articulated (nor oriental Amazon jungle; Loreto; Ucayali; central Amazon jungle and southern Amazon jungle) existing other spaces were the economic articulation include other markets en Colombia (Putumayo) and Brazil (Breu and Purus).
This proposal was elaborated with the institutional or public information of the Institution of the Well Being IBC, National Statistic Institution INEI, Transport and Communication Ministry MTC, National Institution of Natural Resources INRENA, United Nation’s Program for the Development PNUD, National Geographic Institution IGN, Education Ministry MINEDU, Health Ministry MINSA, Energy and Mines Ministry MEM, Presidential Counsellor of Ministers PCM, Ministry of Exterior Commerce and Tourism MINCETUR, Superintendence of Banks and Insurance SBS, National Assembly of Principals ANR and most importantly the Peruvian Amazon Research Institute IIAP (Program of Environmental Ordering the Unit of Geographic Information and Teledeteccion, UIGT).

With this work BIODAMAZ will increase the biophysics and socioeconomic knowledge of the Peruvian Amazon for its posterior utilization as information in the formulation of and ZEE study of the whole Amazon Region, support the implementation of the Regional Strategy of Biological Diversity in the Amazon and the sustainable use of the natural resources.

The results obtained in the development of the different activities in this representative area of the floodable ecosystems of the low jungle in Peru, located 20 minutes from the city of Iquitos, are very much cheerful because of the effect caused in the population.


We have reclaimed fish ponds of the communities of “11 de Noviembre”, “Cañaveral” and “Cantagallo” then we sowed 6,000 fishes of the species Prochilodus nigricans “boquichico”, Lyposarcus pardalis “carachama”.

Since this activity the population gave initiation to an important phase in the management of their aquatic ecosystems for which they were capacitated. They are monitoring the species sowed, the maintenance of the pond and evaluating the individual development of the fishes based in the biomass increase of the biomass that is possible to achieve in the period between the sow and the harvest that will be done when the river basin is high enough in the next growing. April – May 2006

 


In the forest enrichment activity, in the communities of “11 de Noviembre”, “Cañaveral”, “Cantagallo” and “Mazanillo” 30 families were selected that are interested in the enrichment of their plots in use and also in plots that are in fallows. Eight hundred seventy seedlings were planted of the species caoba, cedro and capirona in 34 reforestation strips, in boundaries of variable longitudes ranging from 300 to 700 meters, those strips were prepared by the people during the raining period to assure adequate establishment and growth of the seedling in the final planting area. This activity will continue as the new planting strips are prepared, this activity will continue during the raining season.  (November 2005 until April 2006).

 

 

Another result of the Project is the culmination of the preliminary studies for the elaboration of the proposal of Ecological economical Zonification at a micro scale 1:30,000 of this pilot area. We have information pertaining to hydrographical, physiographic, sedimentation and risk of lateral erosion, maps of soil and major capacity use. And a topographic profile of a transect that crosses all the area and also the socioeconomic study; and a map of actual use of the soil

 

 

 

As a consequence of strengthening of the organizational and educational environment efforts realized done with the population of the communities of this area, three committees were formed for the management of ponds in “11 de Noviembre”, “Cañaveral” and “Cantagallo”. As a product of the workshops on the Management of Floodable Ecosystems the population is now trained for the management of ponds, reforestation practices, communal organization and to obtain the titles of their lands.

The compilation, appropriate arrangement and analysis of the geological information about the Peruvian Amazon have permitted the creation of a large data base (litologic columns, well registries, geological units), that is the base for the generation of a new geological map.

In the next page we observe an example were we compare an old geological map with the new map of a sector of the Amazon, noticing the major details included in the new version as well as the simplification in the legend.

Regional studies made by the Geological Miner and Metallurgist Institute (INGEMMET), as well as studies made by specialists of the University of Turku (Finland), Holland, Canada and other countries, have contributed significant data for the geological knowledge of the Amazon Region.

Differentiation had been made north to south the sub sedimentary basins, of Marañon, Santiago, Ucayali, Ene, and Madre de Dios. This distinction is useful for the determination of the estratigraphy of each sub basin and to define the right nomenclature. The names assigned to each litological unit are in concordance with the location where they were defined.

An age was assigned to the units and those are used only in the zone or respective basin were they where studied, indicating its influence area or possible expansion. Special efforts are made to avoid repeating the names and to use a nomenclature for the northern, central and southern Amazon.

There are various zones that are waiting for future studies, but in the actual status of the knowledge they permit the establishment of hypothetic limits of new characterized estratigraphic units that were very recently discovered.

The formations, which correspond to litologically characterized units, will be in the future defined as chronoestratigraphic units, which means, that each unit will define the time interval they correspond to.
The importance of this study for the BIODAMAZ Project is that it will allowed to make more detailed analysis of the ecosystems, for parameters as physiography, soils and as consequence the flora and fauna variations.

SIAMAZONIA, the Information System for the Peruvian Amazon Biological and Environmental Diversity, had taken a big step in its development as a tool for information and communication, with educational and research contents, as an instruments for the decision making in the implementation of public and investment policies.

During this year there have been implemented new products, services and system tools, incorporating the most recent in technology information, giving place to a new version of SIAMAZONIA that is now on line: www.siamazonia.org.pe

Now the users have a bigger level of interactivity with the system, having the chance, not only to consult for information using diverse approaches, but to collaborate with information, to subscribe to services, to communicate with specialists and institutions and to become part of the SIAMAZONIA network. On the other hand, the SIAMAZONIA nodes, just like other entities and information systems, now have the opportunity to integrate the available services in their respective web sites and to remote connect their biological data base.

Among the main novelties for the user of this new version of SIAMAZONIA, the following ones are to be highlighted:

New organization: The conference repositories, publications, species data sheet, images, news, glossary of terms and links of interest now are organized in databases, allowing a better systematization, search and administration of the information. Also, it allows the interconnection with other databases, by example of biotrade, containing species information.

Metadata: Is the "information about the information" which is presented associated to most documents or databases that contain or provide the system and allows the recognition of author’s rights and the feedback to information suppliers. Additionally, the "Web System of Space Metadata Administration" it contains the systematization and information on maps, satellite images and coverage can be consulted.

New directories: The directory of entities and projects had been created which together with the directory of specialists, allows the inscription, consults and communication among the actors interested in Amazon diversity.

Entry of information: The nodes, specialists and users can collaborate directly with publications and conferences, as well as to administer their data, collaborations and subscriptions, through an Intranet that SIAMAZONIA provides.

Integration of Services: Through the technology of "Web Services" and of the creation of the "Tool Kit", SIAMAZONIA shares the information services of: glossary, search of species observations and record, as well as the integration of news. This way, they can incorporate their consults in other web sites.

Mirror Site: Thanks to the University of Turku, it is now available the SIAMAZONIA "Mirror Site" in Finland (http://siamazonia.utu.fi), that offers speed in navigating the System for international and national users.

Bulletin: Monthly electronic bulletin that contains the latest upgrades of the system. It is created and sent automatically by electronic mail for the subscribed users.

Personalized Sections: Created to satisfy certain users' necessities. By example, “regional surroundings” which links directly to information of each Amazon region.
