SGER: Inventory of the Biota in Amazonian Rainforest in Northern Peru: A Pilot Project

这一试点项目由西方石油公司和堪萨斯大学共同资助，将清查陆生脊椎动物、昆虫和木本植物，并测量秘鲁北部亚马逊雨林的非生物/物理数据。这份清单将作为秘鲁政府生物总体计划的基础，以便对西方石油公司和其他公司正在开发的石油开采地区进行调查、监测和开垦。试点项目将在两个地点调查标示的样方。凭证样本将在KU和利马的自然历史博物馆之间分配。许可证将由秘鲁政府在利马生态保护协会(ECCO)的主持下发放。受威胁和濒危物种的CITES不会被收集。NSF基金将支持调查中的脊椎动物部分，Oxy将支持木质植被、昆虫和物理参数部分。KU已经为这个项目的发展提供了资金，并将支持KU人员的旅行。这些样方将被永久标记为未来的工作，Oxy承诺支持这一工作。这一合作有望成为KU和Oxy在秘鲁的保护和修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、秘鲁政府机构和国家科学基金会之间独特的机会主义和富有成效的合作，旨在建立负责任的监测、保护和开垦受采掘业影响的土地上的生物多样性。这项研究由西方石油公司和堪萨斯大学资助，将清查陆地动植物，并测量西方石油公司和其他公司正在开发的秘鲁北部亚马逊雨林土地上的相关气候、物理和化学数据。这份清单将作为秘鲁政府在全国范围内对这些地区进行调查、监测和开垦的生物总体计划的基础。

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.
