Además de la Escuela Agrícola Panamericana (EAP) se benefician otras cinco comunidades (El Chagüite, Joya Grande, Jicarito, Tatumbla y Nueva Tatumbla) en forma directa de recursos naturales del Cerro como ser: agua, clima, belleza escénica, entre otros. En forma complementaria el Gobierno de la República de Honduras acordó clasificar como Reserva Biológica, el área superior del Cerro Uyuca comprendida entre la cota 1,700 m.s.n.m. y el punto más alto, con una extensión superficial de 234 hectáreas, la cuál será dedicada exclusivamente a trabajos de investigación científica y educativa. Actualmente el Cerro Uyuca está siendo amenazado por personas que viven en sus alrededores y quienes dependen directamente de los recursos naturales que el Cerro brinda. Según los informantes, la tala ilegal, la quema indiscriminada, la sobre explotación de los suelos, entre otros, afectan todo un conjunto de recursos naturales, degradando y acabando con el Cerro. Esto, limita el desarrollo de sus habitantes y genera más pobreza en la zona, como es el caso frecuente de los incendios forestales. Se identificaron siete recursos naturales dentro del Cerro Uyuca: agua, leña, madera, suelo, flora (plantas), fauna (animales) y belleza escénica (incluye el clima agradable) como los más predominantes y sobre los cuales el hombre ha tenido mayor influencia. El árbol de problemas fue la herramienta de análisis utilizada en este estudio, a partir de entrevistas abiertas (13), hechas con la previa identificación de diferentes actores (actores escogidos a propósito por su relación con el Cerro). Con la percepción de los informantes se procedió a identificar el problema central: pérdida de los recursos naturales del Cerro Uyuca, sus causas y efectos. La técnica permitió identificar los principales factores que están ocasionando el problema (causas de primer nivel o raíces primarias) y los factores responsables de las causas de primer nivel (causas de segundo nivel o raíces secundarias). También se determinaron los efectos de primer y segundo nivel e implicaciones que produce la pérdida de los recursos naturales en el Cerro Uyuca y las sugerencias dadas por los actores.Item Asia Regional Workshop on Compensation for Ecosystem Services : a component of the global scoping study on compensation of ecosystem service(World Agroforestry Centre, Nairobi, KE, 2007) Raju, K.V.; Puttaswamaiah, S.; Sekher, Madhushree; Rumley, RachelThe World Agroforestry Centre, Nairobi, Kenya, together with Forest Trends, Washington DC, The World Conservation Union, Gland, Switzerland, Corporación Grupo Randi Randi, Quito, Ecuador, the African Centre for Technology Studies, Nairobi, Kenya, the Institute for Economic and Social Research, Bangalore, India, and the United Nations Environment Programme – Division for Environmental Law and Conventions, Nairobi, Kenya, is leading a scoping study for the International Development Research Centre (IDRC-Canada) on the model of payments for environmental services (PES) as applied in developing countries, to determine how the poor are affected by these schemes and whether the schemes are compatible with poverty reduction objectives. // As a key part of the study, a 3-day workshop is being held in each focal region. The Asia Regional Workshop was held in Bangalore, India from 8 -10 May 2006 at the Centre for Ecological Economics and Natural Resources (CEENR) of the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC). The event brought together 39 participants from across the region, including India, Indonesia, Nepal and Sri Lanka, as well as the project coordination team from the Nairobi headquarters of The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF). Delegates represented international and national-level organizations, academic bodies, NGOs, consulting firms and donor agencies. // This report covers the proceedings of the workshop. It includes summaries of all presentations made (22) as well as summaries of the panel discussions and the open discussions held after the presentations.Item Assessing the conditions for recognizing Katkari claims to land, Ambewadi, Maharastra, India(2006) Buckles, Daniel J.; Khedkar, R.; Patil, D.; Ghevde, B.The paper analyzes a workshop to enhance Katkari claims to land, which the tribal people have inhabited for 45 years. Participants felt confident in the findings of the exercise and with their decision to proceed with a petition to village authorities. They also said that the assessment gave them a better sense of their relative power and legitimacy in relation to the issue. The conditions for making a petition for legal title to the hamlet improved during three months, due to shifts in the assessment of power and interests for a number of stakeholders.Item Bringing farmers back into breeding : experiences with participatory plant breeding and challenges for institutionalisation(Agromisa Foundation, Wageningen, NL, 2006) Agromisa Foundation; Christinck, Anja; Humphries, Sally; Pelegrina, Didit; Almekinders, Conny; Hardon, JaapItem Canada world youth impact assessment : executive summary(Canada World Youth, CA, 2006) South House Exchange; Canada World Youth; SAS2 DialogueItem Canada world youth impact assessment : synthesis report(Canada World Youth, CA, 2006) South House Exchange; Canada World Youth; SAS2 DialogueItem Canadian perspectives on climate change adaptation research priorities : livelihoods and social policy(Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC, CA, 2007) Bryant, Christopher R.Item Caracterización paisajística y definición de lineamientos de manejo de "Montaña Grande" : zona de recarga de las microcuencas de La Soledad, Las Cañas y El Cobre, Valle de Angeles y Santa Lucia(Universidad Nacional de Agricultura, Catacamas, Olancho, HN, 2006) Barahona Cáceres, Jorge FidelItem Case studies on access and benefit - sharing(IPGRI, Rome, IT, 2006) International Plant Genetic Resources Institute; Lewis-Lettington, Robert J.; Mwanyiki, SerahItem Celebrate diversity in global indigenous food : International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples; poster(CINE, McGill University, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC, CA, 2007) Centre for Indigenous Peoples' Nutrition and Environment (CINE), McGill UniversityItem Climate change and health : Canadian research; IDRC workshop on climate change, Feb. 13-14, 2006, Ottawa(IDRC, Ecosystem Approaches to Human Health Program, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2006) Charron, Dominique F.Item Commentary on the development of the Republic of Seychelles access to genetic resources and benefit sharing bill (2005)(IPGRI, Rome, IT, 2006) International Plant Genetic Resources Institute; Lewis-Lettington, Robert J.; Dogley, DidierThe purpose of this project was to develop a tool to assist national policy-makers working through the process of developing policy and legal instruments to regulate access to genetic resources. The commentary developed within the context of the project “Access and plant genetic resources for food and agriculture: Exploring options to implement the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture” and Article 15.2 of the Convention on Biological Diversity executed by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI). The significance of biological resources including genetic resources to Seychelles pre-dates the first settlement of the archipelago.Item Competing project priorities of men and women in Mehi, West Bengal(2006) Buckles, Daniel J.
