Mariana Sánchez Celis has traveled the world as a pianist trained at the Juilliard School of Music. But when her mother has a stroke and her beloved uncle suddenly disappears, Mariana must put her life on hold to return to her home in Ayotlan, Mexico. She soon discovers her town is no longer the place she remembers. Ayotlan’s beaches, sea turtle colonies, and historic center are decimated under decades of neglect and abuse. What part did her late father have in this? And could it be related to her uncle’s disappearance? When Fernanda Lucero, a member of the indigenous Concáac people, convinces Mariana to join her sea turtle and architectural conservation projects, the deepening love between Mariana and Fernanda threatens to put them both further in harm’s way. This, together with the web of secrets Mariana unravels, stands to radically transform her and her family’s fate. Arribada is the story of a well-to-do woman pushed to confront her role in environmental and social injustice. It is the saga of a family faced with the realization that their comfortable position rests, beyond a strong work ethic, on crimes against what they hold dearest: the natural world, their town, and their loved ones.

Arribada Nesting Of Olive Ridley Sea Turtles Lepidochelys Olivacea At La Escobilla Mexico written by Melissa Ann S. Ocana and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011 with Olive ridley turtle categories.

Olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) present an interesting case study of the conservation of wildlife species that aggregate in high densities and have served as resources for human consumption. Ridleys exhibit synchronized mass-nesting behavior, during events called "arribadas," where thousands of females lay eggs together in a small area over the span of a few consecutive nights. Some of the largest arribadas occur at La Escobilla, Mexico, with over a million nests estimated per season. These aggregations have made olive ridleys vulnerable to negative impacts from harvest and density-dependent influences on nest success. There are many interconnected determinants of nest success, including intraspecific competition for space, temperature, and predation. Nest destruction by conspecifics is an apparent potential impact of high density nesting, as later-arriving turtles often dig up previously laid nests. Nest destruction is the main scientific argument for "sustainable" egg harvest, since local communities could utilize eggs otherwise destroyed as an economic resource. In 2009 at La Escobilla, I explored 1) the historical context of harvest and community members' current perceptions of turtles through 12 semi-structured interviews with key informants; 2) nest destruction rates during arribadas through a field study to quantify nesting behavior. My first objective was to understand the shifting human-turtle relationship and how it informs current community dynamics and future conservation and research at arribada beaches. Historical research and interviews indicated that many local residents are familiar with turtle behavior and agree on the importance of conservation efforts for turtles and the local community. Nevertheless, residents struggle for economic stability within what has largely been an externally-imposed protectionist framework. Future efforts should integrate long-term employment with local involvement in research, conservation, and non-consumptive use. The second objective of my project was to quantify nesting activity and investigate the relationship between nest densities and nest destruction. Nesting behavior of 1293 turtles was observed in 26 sample plots during two consecutive arribadas. Cumulative nest densities estimated over two arribadas ranged from around 1 to 8 nests/m2. The odds of a turtle digging up eggs increase 21% for every additional nest in a 1m2 area surrounding a nesting turtle. No hatchlings emerged from the arribadas I studied, likely due to unfavorably warm temperatures in 2009 and widespread beetle predation. Estimation of hatchling production at the beach level is necessary for accurate projection of the population's status; the empirical findings and methodologies considered in this project can be used in such future models. My field study illustrates the complexity of predicting hatchling production because of temporal and spatial variation, as indicated by cumulative effects of multiple arribadas on incubating nests.

The seventeenth century has been characterized as "Latin America's forgotten century." This landmark work, originally published in 1973, attempted to fill the vacuum in knowledge by providing an account of the first great colonial cycle in Spanish Central America. The colonial Spanish society of the sixteenth century was very different from that described in the eighteenth century. What happened in the Latin American colonies between the first conquests, the seizure of long-accumulated Indian wealth, the first silver booms, and the period of modern raw material supply? How did Latin America move from one stage to the other? What were these intermediate economic stages, and what effect did they have on the peoples living in Latin America? These questions continue to resonate in Latin American studies today, making this updated edition of Murdo J. MacLeod's original work more relevant than ever. Colonial Central America was a large, populous, and always strategically significant stretch of land. With the Yucatán, it was home of the Maya, one of the great pre-Columbian cultures. MacLeod examines the long-term process it underwent of relative prosperity, depression, and then recovery, citing comparative sources on Europe to describe Central America's great economic, demographic, and social cycles. With an updated historiographical and bibliographical introduction, this fascinating study should appeal to historians, anthropologists, and all who are interested in the colonial experience of Latin America.

The oceanographic conditions that make this an epicenter of sea turtle activity promote massive artisanal and industrial fishing efforts that, coupled with illegal harvesting of eggs and turtles, have led to declines of several turtle populations in the region. The essays and stories in Sea Turtles of the Eastern Pacific describe for the first time the history of this exploitation, as well as recent sea turtle conservation initiatives and scientific research in the region.

"The commercial landings of threatened and endangered species of marine turtles throughout U.S. waters have never been reported in detail. The early commercial sea turtle landings were sporadically collected and were published in a series of U.S. Government fisheries documents. Unfortunately, they have never been collated and summarized into a single data base or document. These are important base-line fisheries data on U.S. threatened and endangered species of sea turtles and provide considerable insight into the sociology and economics of the turtle fishery. Additionally, these data also provide basic biological information, such as species composition, seasonality, and sizes. These factors are necessary for understanding the ecology of these unique reptiles and enable resource managers to formulate sound management and conservation strategies, as mandated by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and subsequent amendments. In this report, I summarize the commercial U.S. sea turtle landings as reported by the U.S. Fisheries Commission, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and National Marine Fisheries Service for the continental U.S., Puerto Rico, and Hawaii"--Introduction

"With over 500 participants from over 60 countries, the success of the symposium was reflected in the coming together of ideas in research and lessons in conservation from a diverse range of individuals and groups, both at the local and regional/global scale. Over 400 abstracts were received and a total of 376 were presented after a careful review process by the Programme Committee, overseen by Programme Chairs Matthew Godfrey and Brendan Godley and the Programme Coordinator DuBose Griffin. The symposium was held at the Kala Academy in Panaji, Goa's renowned centre for performing arts, situated on the banks of the Mandovi River. A few workshops were also held at the Taj Vivanta Hotel situated across the road from the Kala Academy. All evening social events were held at the Cidade de Goa hotel at Va inguinim beach in Dona Paula"--Page iii
