Amazon Tree DiversityNetwork |
|
|
| |
The Amazon Tree Diversity Network is a loose electronic network of botanists, ecologists and taxonomists that share data and information on tree diversity in the pan-Amazon (Amazonia and the Guyana Shield). Our drive is to gain an understanding in the patterns of alfa- and beta-diversity in the region and through this knowledge contribute to better conservation strategies for the region. Currently we work with data from botanical 1-ha plots (and sometimes different sizes), forest inventories, and herbarium collections. |

CONABIO |
|
|
| |
El hecho de que México es uno de los cinco países que poseen la mayor diversidad biológica (Megadiversos), significa que nuestro territorio es privilegiado en cuanto a los tipos de ecosistemas, el número y la variación genética de las especies, merece una especial consideración para impulsar los esfuerzos realizados por instituciones gubernamentales, no gubernamentales y académicas en torno a la conservación de la diversidad biológica. Por este motivo, se realizó la Reunión Internacional sobre la Problemática del Conocimiento y Conservación de la Biodiversidad los días 13 y 14 de febrero de 1992. Esta reunión fue convocada por el Presidente de la República y en ella se analizaron los aspectos medulares del conocimiento de la biodiversidad, las amenazas a las que se encuentra sujeta y las acciones necesarias para su conservación. La reunión dio lugar al Acuerdo Presidencial de Creación de la Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad (CONABIO), publicado el 16 de marzo de 1992. |

Centres of Plant Diversity |
|
|
| |
This website is part of a three-volume work that contains accounts of nearly 250 major sites for conservation of plant diversity worldwide. Volume 1 covers Europe, the Atlantic Islands, Africa and the islands of the Western Indian Ocean, South West Asia and the Middle East. Volume 2 is concerned with the rest of Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands. Volume 3, whose web version is presented here, deals with the Americas, and contains six sites in North America, 20 in Middle America, 46 in South America, and three in the Caribbean. This web version of the printed volume contains all the same material, with an easy-to-use search engine and additional pictures. |

Embrapa |
|
|
| |
A Embrapa atua no Estado do Amazonas desde 1974, por meio da Unidade de Execução de Pesquisa de Âmbito Estadual (UEPAE de Manaus) e do Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Seringueira e Dendê (CNPSD). Com a fusão das Unidades em 1989, passou a chamar-se Centro de Pesquisa Agroflorestal da Amazônia Ocidental (CPAA), e atualmente é denominada Embrapa Amazônia Ocidental. A Unidade faz parte da rede de centros de pesquisa da Embrapa, empresa pública federal, vinculada ao Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento.
A Unidade atende a demandas dos mercados local e regional dentro do programa de agricultura familiar, principalmente com mandioca, cultivo de grãos e olericultura ; do mercado nacional realizando pesquisas com fruteiras tropicais, dendê, seringueira, espécies florestais, guaraná e piscicultura ; e do internacional, com a produção de sementes de dendê. |

Sustainable Harvest International |
|
|
| |
Since 1997, SHI has expanded its reach from the one program in Honduras to also include programs in Panamá, Belize and, most recently, Nicaragua. SHI recently established La Fundacion Cosecha Sostenible Honduras (the Sustainable Harvest Honduras Foundation) as an independent affiliate. After a transition period, that pilot program will become responsible for its own management and funding. SHI thus facilitates implementation of a program that allows poor farmers to take responsibility for reversing environmental degradation and achieving economic viability within their own countries. |
