Progress and challenges in consolidating the management of Amazonian protected areas and indigenous territories

Effective management refers to the ability of a protected area or indigenous territory to meet its objectives, particularly as they relate to the protection of biodiversity and forest cover. Effective management is achieved through a process of consolidation, which among other things requires legally protecting sites, integrating sites into land‐use planning, developing and implementing management and resource‐use plans, and securing long‐term funding to pay for recurrent costs. Effectively managing all protected areas and indigenous territories in the Amazon may be needed to avoid a deforestation tipping point beyond which regional climatic feedbacks and global climate change interact to catalyze irreversible drying and savannization of large areas. At present, protected areas and indigenous territories cover 45.5% (3.55 million km²) of the Amazon, most of the 60–70% forest cover required to maintain hydrologic and climatic function. Three independent evaluations of a long‐term large‐scale philanthropic initiative in the Amazon yielded insights into the challenges and advances toward achieving effective management of protected areas and indigenous territories. Over the life of the initiative, management of sites has improved considerably, particularly with respect to management planning and capacity building, but few sites are effectively managed and many lack sufficient long‐term financing, adequate governance, support of nongovernmental organizations, and the means to withstand economic pressures. The time and money required to complete consolidation is still poorly understood, but it is clear that philanthropic funding is critical so long as essential funding needs are not met by governments and other sources, which could be on the order of decades. Despite challenges, it is encouraging that legal protection has expanded greatly and management of sites is improving steadily. Management of protected areas in other developing countries could be informed by improvements that have occurred in Amazonian countries.     

Understanding implications of consumer behavior for wildlife farming and sustainable wildlife trade

Unsustainable wildlife trade affects biodiversity and the livelihoods of communities dependent upon those resources. Wildlife farming has been proposed to promote sustainable trade, but characterizing markets and understanding consumer behavior remain neglected but essential steps in the design and evaluation of such operations. We used sea turtle trade in the Cayman Islands, where turtles have been farm raised for human consumption for almost 50 years, as a case study to explore consumer preferences toward wild‐sourced (illegal) and farmed (legal) products and potential conservation implications. Combining methods innovatively (including indirect questioning and choice experiments), we conducted a nationwide trade assessment through in‐person interviews from September to December 2014. Households were randomly selected using disproportionate stratified sampling, and responses were weighted based on district population size. We approached 597 individuals, of which 37 (6.2%) refused to participate. Although 30% of households had consumed turtle in the previous 12 months, the purchase and consumption of wild products was rare (e.g., 64–742 resident households consumed wild turtle meat [i.e., 0.3–3.5% of households] but represented a large threat to wild turtles in the area due to their reduced populations). Differences among groups of consumers were marked, as identified through choice experiments, and price and source of product played important roles in their decisions. Despite the long‐term practice of farming turtles, 13.5% of consumers showed a strong preference for wild products, which demonstrates the limitations of wildlife farming as a single tool for sustainable wildlife trade. By using a combination of indirect questioning, choice experiments, and sales data to investigate demand for wildlife products, we obtained insights about consumer behavior that can be used to develop conservation‐demand‐focused initiatives. Lack of data from long‐term social–ecological assessments hinders the evaluation of and learning from wildlife farming. This information is key to understanding under which conditions different interventions (e.g., bans, wildlife farming, social marketing) are likely to succeed.

为探究双酚F（BPF）和双酚S（BPS）联合暴露下斑马鱼富集及神经毒性,进行为期14d的1,10,100,1000 μg/L BPF和BPS的单一或联合暴露.结果表明,BPF和BPS在斑马鱼组织内的富集水平与暴露浓度和暴露时间呈正相关,BPF富集能力高于BPS,BPF和BPS联合暴露降低了斑马鱼对BPS的富集水平,但对BPF富集水平的影响较小.脑组织中的富集水平低于肠道但远高于肌肉.以脑为目标组织进行了毒性研究,结果表明,BPF诱导的丙二醛（MDA）、8-羟化脱氧鸟苷（8-OHdG）、白细胞介素1β（1L-1β）、肿瘤坏死因子α（TNF-α）等氧化损伤和炎症指标水平高于BPS,且联合暴露存在毒性增强效应.但BPS对皮质醇（COR）、肾上腺素（EPI）和乙酰胆碱酶（AChE）等神经毒性标志物和Syn2a、MBP、Gfap、MAP2、NSE2和S-100B等神经功能有关基因的毒性效应影响高于BPF,联合暴露削减了对AChE、COR和EPI等的影响.

Application of intrawell testing of RCRA groundwater monitoring data when no upgradient well exists

A statistical quality control approachto detect changes in groundwater quality from aregulated waste unit is described. The approachapplies the combined Shewhart-CUSUM control chartmethodology for intrawell comparison of analyteconcentrations over time and does not require anupgradient well. A case study from the U.S.Department of Energy's Hanford Site is used forillustration purposes. This method is broadlyapplicable in groundwater monitoring programs wherethere is no clearly defined upgradient location, thegroundwater flow rate is exceptionally slow, or wherea high degree of spatial variability exists inparameter concentrations. This study also indicatesthat the use of the Data Quality Objectives (DQO)process can assist in designing an efficient andcost-effective groundwater monitoring plan to achievethe optimum goal of both low false positive and lowfalse negative rates (high power).

乙草胺、铜污染共存对土壤甲胺磷蚯蚓降解过程的影响研究

为揭示利用蚯蚓活动强化甲胺磷降解的可行性,采用了微宇宙培养方法,通过有蚯蚓和无蚯蚓的对比实验,考察了乙草胺和铜分别与甲胺磷共存条件下污染黑土中甲胺磷降解过程的动态变化.结果表明,无论是否加入蚯蚓,甲胺磷单一污染的土壤中甲胺磷的降解符合一级反应动力学规律;蚯蚓活动能促进甲胺磷降解过程的进行.土壤中乙草胺或铜与甲胺磷共存时,均明显地干扰了甲胺磷降解过程随时间的动态变化;根据化学结构分析,推测两者对甲胺磷降解规律的影响机制可能类似.铜与甲胺磷复合污染的土壤中甲胺磷含量明显高于乙草胺与甲胺磷复合组,说明铜较乙草胺对土壤甲胺磷降解过程的延缓作用更强.
