This pilot project, co-funded by Occidental Petroleum and the University of Kansas, will inventory terrestrial vertebrates, insects and woody vegetation and measure abiotic/physical data in the Amazon rainforest of northern Peru. The inventory will serve as the basis for a biological master plan for the Peruvian government to survey, monitor and reclaim areas being developed by Occidental and other concerns for petroleum extraction. The pilot project will survey plotted quadrats at two sites. Voucher specimens will be divided between KU and the Museo de Historia Natural in Lima. Permits will be issued by the Peruvian Government under the auspices of the Associacion de Ecologia y Conservacion (ECCO) in Lima. CITES threatened and endangered species will not be collected. The NSF funds will support the vertebrate component of the survey, with OXY supporting the woody vegetation, insect and physical parameters component. KU has already funded the development of this project and will support travel by KU personnel. The quadrats will be permanently marked for future work, which OXY promises to support. This collaboration promises to become a long-term partnership between KU and OXY in conservation and restoration projects in Peru. %%% This pilot project is a uniquely opportunistic and fruitful collaboration between US industry, US basic academic science, Peruvian government agencies and NSF to establish the responsible monitoring, conservation and reclamation of biodiversity on lands impacted by extractive industries. The study, funded with Occidental Petroleum and the University of Kansas, will inventory terrestrial plants and animals and measure relevant climatic, physical and chemical data on lands in the Amazon rainforest of northern Peru being developed by Occidental and other concerns for petroleum extraction . The inventory will serve as the basis for a biological master plan for the Peruvian government to survey, monitor and reclaim such areas throughout the country.

这个由西方石油公司和堪萨斯大学共同资助的试点项目将清点秘鲁北部亚马逊雨林的陆生脊椎动物、昆虫和木本植被，并测量非生物/物理数据。该清单将作为秘鲁政府一项生物总体规划的基础，以便对西方石油公司和其他石油开采公司正在开发的地区进行调查、监测和开垦。该试点项目将在两个地点测绘样方。代金券标本将由科罗拉多大学和利马自然历史博物馆共同保管。许可证将由秘鲁政府在设在利马的生态与保护协会的主持下颁发。《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》将不再收集濒危物种。NSF基金将支持调查的脊椎动物部分，OXY支持木本植被、昆虫和物理参数部分。堪萨斯大学已经资助了这个项目的开发，并将支持堪萨斯大学人员的旅行。这些象限将被永久标记，以供未来的工作使用，OXY承诺对此提供支持。这次合作有望成为KU和OXY在秘鲁保护和恢复项目中的长期合作伙伴关系。这个试点项目是美国工业界、美国基础学术科学、秘鲁政府机构和美国国家科学基金会之间的一次独特的机会和富有成效的合作，目的是在受采掘业影响的土地上建立负责任的生物多样性监测、保护和复垦。这项研究由西方石油公司和堪萨斯大学资助，将对秘鲁北部亚马逊雨林的陆地植物和动物进行清点，并测量相关的气候、物理和化学数据，这些土地正在由西方石油公司和其他石油开采公司开发。该清单将作为秘鲁政府在全国范围内调查、监测和开垦这些地区的生物总体计划的基础。
