Wildlife Conservation Society
With the collaboration of:
With the support of:
1
1. Mapping of annual extraction in forest concessions
2. Monitoring of seed trees
3. Threat detection overflights and aerial photography
1. SMART software for patrol data compilation and analysis
2. Camera traps for wildlife monitoring and threat detection
3. UAV’s overflights for aerial photography and electronic dispositive for data recording

1. Mapping of annual extraction in forest concessions
Who? Forest concessions (community and industrial)
What? Detailed maps of each tree in an AnnualHarvest Area, an associated database
Why? Because a regulation required by CONAP ForestDepartment to verify the procedence of woodharvested, to estimate (ex ante) the volume to beharvested, to locate seed trees, to assist roadplanning, to identify sensitive areas (archaeologicalsites for example)

2. Monitoring of seed trees
Who? Wildlife Conservation Society, Forestconcessions (community and industrial)
What? Field verification of the persistence and compliance with minimum requirements of designated seed trees in areas harvested 3-5 yearsbefore
Why? As an indicator of good forest managementcomplient with regulations related to seed trees

3. Threat detection over flights and aerial photography
Who? CONAP, Wildlife Conservation Society, Lighthawk, several other organizations
What? Overflights in the MBR to detect threats and to collect aerial photography to develop keyindicators
Why? An aerial platform of long endurance (up to 5 hours) allows managers to detect threats in areas noteasily reachable and to collect aerial photography todevelop selected indicators

4. SMART (Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool) software for patrol data compilation and analysis
Who? CONAP, Wildlife Conservation Society, forestconcessions, other institutions
What? Adoption of SMART, a free software tocompile and analize data collected during control and vigilance patrols
Why? To sistematically collect data during patrols, tomeasure the level of effort invested in patrols, toanalize trends in threats, to improve the processesrelated to law enforcement and prosecution of illegalactivities

5. Field cameras for wildlife monitoring and threat detection
Who? Wildlife Conservation Society
What? Camera trap surveys for wildlife monitoring, field cameras to monitor threats
Why? To estimate selected species populationdensity and presence/absence, to monitor threatsincluding road traffic, resources extraction, humanspresence in remote areas

6. UAV’s overflights for aerial photography and electronic dispositive for data recording
Who? CONAP, FONACON
What? Overflights in different Protected Areas to detectthreats and to collect aerial photography to develop keyindicators
Why? Based on UAV´s (close to 1 hour each flight) allowsmanagers to detect threats in areas not easily reachableand to collect aerial photography to monitor the eventswithin protected areas in real time
