Riesgo de pérdida de la vocación agrícola del territorio en el Distrito de Barrancabermeja debido a la extracción intensiva de hidrocarburos con métodos no convencionales.

El presente documento es producto del desarrollo de la actividad propuesta como trabajo final del Diplomado de profundización en Sistemas de Información Geográfica para el Ordenamiento Agroambiental del Territorio, cuya intencionalidad formativa es abordar problemáticas relacionadas con el ordenamiento agropecuario, forestal y ambiental, desde la perspectiva de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica. En este trabajo se identifican los factores, actores y riesgos que se constituyen en amenaza potencial para la vocación agrícola de un territorio, a partir un modelo conceptual y la ejecución de geo procesos utilizando el software QGIS.This document is the product of the development of the activity proposed as the final work of the Deepening Diploma in Geographic Information Systems for Agro-environmental Planning of the Territory, whose formative intention is to address problems related to agricultural, forestry and environmental planning, from the perspective of Geographic Information Systems. In this work, the factors, actors and risks that constitute a potential threat to the agricultural vocation of a territory are identified, based on a conceptual model and the execution of geo-processes using the QGIS software

A flagship for Austral temperate forest conservation: an action plan for Darwin's frogs brings key stakeholders together

Darwin’s frogs Rhinoderma darwinii and Rhinoderma rufum are the only known species of amphibians in which males brood their offspring in their vocal sacs. We propose these frogs as flagship species for the conservation of the Austral temperate forests of Chile and Argentina. This recommendation forms part of the vision of the Binational Conservation Strategy for Darwin’s Frogs, which was launched in 2018. The strategy is a conservation initiative led by the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group, which in 2017 convened 30 governmental, non-profit and private organizations from Chile, Argentina and elsewhere. Darwin’s frogs are iconic examples of the global amphibian conservation crisis: R. rufum is categorized as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) on the IUCN Red List, and R. darwinii as Endangered. Here we articulate the conservation planning process that led to the development of the conservation strategy for these species and present its main findings and recommendations. Using an evidence-based approach, the Binational Conservation Strategy for Darwin’s Frogs contains a comprehensive status review of Rhinoderma spp., including critical threat analyses, and proposes 39 prioritized conservation actions. Its goal is that by 2028, key information gaps on Rhinoderma spp. will be filled, the main threats to these species will be reduced, and financial, legal and societal support will have been achieved. The strategy is a multi-disciplinary, transnational endeavour aimed at ensuring the long-term viability of these unique frogs and their particular habitat
