Bio-diversity

The Ba ados in the Izozog and the basin of the R or Parapet, are key to the maintenance of the din mica hidrol gica in the North of the Bolivian chaco, West of the Kaa Iya Park and its large area of amortiguaci n, both to recharge accu feros, as water source superficialpara local communities and wildlife. The basin of the r or Parapet not n feeds s the ba ados de Izozog, but also to the Laguna de Concepci and together they constitute a complex of Ramsar sites for its great value as wetlands international. This cuencaes, in turn, a backbone of connectivity ecol gica the Sub-Andean Chaco, the Chiquitano forest and the Amazon to, already from the Concepci Laguna n (located between the municipalities of Pail n and San Jos de Chiquitos) which drains, was born in r or San Juli n, which feeds the nica Male North Basin. The total area of the basin is not necessarily the area of intervention the proposal direct n 41.808 km2 in what corresponds to the Department of Santa Cruz. The value ecol magic of the vegetal communities of the landscape faster or the Parapet system lies in the Regulation n n fluvial erosion and flow of the waters in a seasonal climate x rich. The flooded forests of the ados ba protect permanent lagoons where survive tica acu fauna and where go the terrestrial fauna in the few dry, while the nicosia freatof algarrobales constitute forests of regular development not an may exist only on the basis of the low local rainfall. In this way, fluvial and connectivity of the vegetation along this axis allows the existence of fishery resources used by the communities of the Isoso, as also of other wildlife that is not m s South in the dry Chaco (lizard, lobito of r, or black species, mono mart n, tej n, Kettle Bell) (, painted Guan). It is a basin fr gil in ecol magical terms, is under a series of threats that put a strong pressure n on different resources and values biol magical and socio-cultural. These major threats include the advancement of the deforestaci n, urban pollution and hidrocarbur fera (especially in the upper basin), ridos n extraction, excessive use of water for irrigation, infrastructure works (including at least one major dam); all ellopotenciado by the effects of variability and tico clim events ends, attributable to Global change Clim tico and the conditions of the high evapotranspiraci of the regi n. n different factors are associated with these threats; such as the expansion n of the agricultural frontier (agribusiness), the growing presence of settlers in the West of the country and Mennonite colonies, as well as the weakness in the planning process n and Tourism Portal Management in the use of the soil, in the control of the use of natural resources (water, soil, ridos, forests, biodiversity), in the absence of a comprehensive strategy for managing and preserving the basin n and the lack of consolidated instances of local and regional governance. However, there are a number of opportunities and favorable conditions to, properly articulated and enhanced, may an mean n of the basin, especially its services ecosist monkeys a relevant contribution to the management and conservation, biodiversity and socio-cultural values of the population originally n green isose in the lower basin. This proposal seeks to generate, in coordination n high as close with the address n of the Kaa Iya Park, with municipal governments involved and the l deres of the TCO representing mainly wings captain and low Isoso, a process deplanificaci n acci n that generate the conditions of governance for the integral of the basin n management, taking into account the links ecosist v micos and socio cultural with the LINE and Kaa Iya National Park of the Gran Chaco. In this process, are expected to add key players that are both users and those that affect the landscape of the watershed and its resources h dricos and 50 (3) magical, such as agro-industrial producers, the Mennonite colonies, settlers from Western farmers, mining companies and hidrocarbur ferras, among others. You will find the coordination n with other organizations that have a presence in the area, as the Fundaci n Ivi Iyambae, the Fundaci n eandereko, CIPCA and the round n German (GIS).
