In 1993 and 1994, two Rapid Assessment Program teams conducted biological surveys in the Cordillera del Cóndor between Ecuador and Peru, one of the largest intact regions of Andean lower montane forest. This book presents the results of their surveys. The great topographic and geological complexity of this region, combined with a climate of year-round high humidity, have resulted in very high plant species diversity. This diversity of habitats and species with restricted distributions makes the Cóndor an important refuge for many taxa.

This report argues and demonstrates that the Peruvian government acted in bad faith by modifying the original proposal to create the Ichigkat Muja National Park agreed upon with the Awajun and Wampi-s indigenous communities of the District of El Cenepa, Department of Amazonas, Peru. The proposal to create a protected natural area in the Cordillera del Condor, the traditional land of these peoples, was prepared together with the environmental authority of the Peruvian government through a long negotiation process and detailed scientific studies, with the purpose of preserving an extremely vulnerable area at the headwaters of the Cenepa River, and as a result of the contribution made by the Awajun and Wampi-s communities to the establishment of long-lasting peace along the Peruvian-Ecuadorian border. The report also proves that the Peruvian government acted in this manner in order to benefit mining entrepreneurs, some of whom maintain strong political ties with senior government officials. As a result, the territory of these peoples has been threatened, and their rights, not to mention the national and international laws that protect them, have been challenged. The Awajun and Wampi-s communities and their representative organizations have continuously demanded the following: the reestablishment of the original proposal to create the National Park and the cancelation of mining concessions; neither have been granted by authorities. This situation serves as a basis for the claims made by the indigenous movement that led to massive demonstrations in 2008 and 2009, in addition to a prolonged strike, which culminated in the bloody events of Bagua (June 5, 2009), when the government violently intervened to evacuate the Awajun and Wampi-s contingents that had blocked a highway.

When the guns are silenced, those who have survived armed conflict need food, water, shelter, the means to earn a living, and the promise of safety and a return to civil order. Meeting these needs while sustaining peace requires more than simply having governmental structures in place; it requires good governance. Natural resources are essential to sustaining people and peace in post-conflict countries, but governance failures often jeopardize such efforts. This book examines the theory, practice, and often surprising realities of post-conflict governance, natural resource management, and peacebuilding in fifty conflict-affected countries and territories. It includes thirty-nine chapters written by more than seventy researchers, diplomats, military personnel, and practitioners from governmental, intergovernmental, and nongovernmental organizations. The book highlights the mutually reinforcing relationship between natural resource management and good governance. Natural resource management is crucial to rebuilding governance and the rule of law, combating corruption, improving transparency and accountability, engaging disenfranchised populations, and building confidence after conflict. At the same time, good governance is essential for ensuring that natural resource management can meet immediate needs for post-conflict stability and development, while simultaneously laying the foundation for a sustainable peace. Drawing on analyses of the close relationship between governance and natural resource management, the book explores lessons from past conflicts and ongoing reconstruction efforts; illustrates how those lessons may be applied to the formulation and implementation of more effective governance initiatives; and presents an emerging theoretical and practical framework for policy makers, researchers, practitioners, and students. Governance, Natural Resources, and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding is part of a global initiative to identify and analyze lessons in post-conflict peacebuilding and natural resource management. The project has generated six books of case studies and analyses, with contributions from practitioners, policy makers, and researchers. Other books in this series address high-value resources, land, water, livelihoods, and assessing and restoring natural resources.

"This thesis intervenes in an effort to contribute to the literature on extractivism in Latin America. Two case studies were selected, the Yanacocha mine in Peru and the Cordillera del Condor region in Ecuador. The aim from these studies is to illustrate the change in social and environmental struggles over the evolution of mining projects according to the development stage of the mine. The first analysis of this thesis details a conceptual framework derived from the work of ecological economist Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. This framework is used to understand mining as an economic productive process with entropic consequences. This analysis identifies the possibility to define 'biophysical limits to mining extraction' understood as the threshold to which ore extraction, resource use and waste generation are socially permitted. As decision-making regarding mining is not straightforward, the role of deliberative participation is emphasized in order to clearly define tradeoffs between biophysical requirements, environmental constraints and social conditions. Using the approach above, the socio-ecological impacts of mining are examined, specifically in the hydrological system surrounding the Yanacocha mine in Cajamarca, Peru. This case study illustrates the impacts on the quantity of water in the Mashcon catchment, one of the most affected areas by the Yanacocha mine. Concerns relate to changes in water flows, lowering of water tables, and a decline of base flows. These disturbances indicate deficiencies in the distribution of water between small farmers and the urban population, and highlight a critical concern in a region where water is considered a scarce resource. Results of the hydrological analysis reveal important lessons over the future of water planning in Cajamarca and the contradictions between the distribution of water and the allocation of its use rights among users. The second half of this research focuses attention on the Cordillera del Condor, Southern Amazon of Ecuador, where three large-scale mining projects are located. Two studies analyze the socio-political definitions and interests that determine the institutional and territorial changes accommodating political mining interests. Firstly, a grounded theory analysis was conducted in order to examine the transformations of socio-spatial relations in the Cordillera del Condor. These transformations explain how mining is currently co-producing territory in distinctive ways through the integration of five territorial partitions: institutional hierarchies, governance frameworks, social imaginaries, politico-cultural identities and productive transformations. These changes reflect the aim of the Ecuadorian state to centralize extractive decisions and build state power in contradiction to the nation's constitutional intentions to build a plurinational state. A final empirical study assesses the positions of key stakeholders regarding the articulation of mining discourses in Ecuador. Results highlight four distinct mining-related discourses: (1) responsible extractivism; (2) local self-determination; (3) national economic development and (4) local economic development. The analysis of nuanced positions within these discourses permits the understanding of discursive articulation of how power is leveraged between the geographical scale at which conflict is experienced and the scale at which decisions are politically defined. The discussion reveals the role of politics of scale in conceptualizing mining discourses across geographical scales and how it is used to simultaneously structure, disassemble and restructure power relations among actors and scales. Finally, this analysis provides insights for conflict-resolution potential on the political complexities of mining conflicts. " --

This book explores the unanticipated benefits that may arise after wars and conflicts, showing how the preservation of battlefields and the establishment of borderlands can create natural capital in the former landscapes of war. The editors call this Collateral Value, in contrast to the collateral damage that war inflicts upon infrastructure, natural capital, and human capital. The book includes case studies recounting successes and failures, opportunities and risks, and ambitious proposals. The book is organized in two sections. The first visits U.S., English, and French battlefield sites dating from medieval England to World War I. The second explores borderlands located on several continents, established to end or prevent conflict. Both of these can create value beyond their original purpose, by preserving natural areas and restoring biodiversity. Among the topics covered are: · Registering English Battlefields · Old forts and new amenities in the Southern Plains of the U.S. · Verdun, France, and the conservation of WWI cultural and natural heritage · Conservation lessons learned in the Cordillera del Condor Corridor of the Andes mountains · Korea’s DMZ and its nature preserve · Wakhan National Park, a mountainous buffer area between Afghanistan and Pakistan The book examines state-of-the-art applications of landscape ecology, including methods for change detection, connectivity analysis, and the quantification of ecosystem services. Also included is a chapter on a creative proposal for “Guantánamo 2.0,” which would transform the Gitmo detention facility into a peace park and ecological research center. A concluding chapter appraises the past, present, and future of Collateral Values. Collateral Values: The Natural Capital Created by Landscapes of War benefits a broad audience of advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practicing professionals.

The Amazon Basin contains the largest and most diverse tropical rainforest in the world. Besides the Andes and the Atlantic Ocean, the rainforest is bounded to the north by the Guiana crystalline shield and to the south by the Brazilian crystalline shield, marked at their edges by cataracts in the rivers and often dominated by grasslands. This book is motivated not just by the Amazon's scientific interest but also by its role in many ecosystem functions critical to life on Earth. These ecosystems are characterized both by their complexity and their interactive, higher-order linkages among both abiotic and biotic components.Within Amazonia, the Western Amazon (west of 65° latitude) is the most pristine and, perhaps, the most complex within the Amazon Basin. This Western Amazon may be broadly divided into non-flooded forests (e.g. terra firme, white sand, palm) and forests flooded with white water (generally referred to as várzea) and with black water (generally referred to as igapó). Here, for the first time, is a book devoted entirely to Western Amazonia, containing chapters by scientists at the forefront of their own areas of expertise. It should be a valuable resource for all future researchers and scholars who venture into Western Amazonia, as it continues to be one of the most beautiful, mysterious, remote and important ecosystems on Earth.
