Amarakaeri Indigenous Reserve (Peru : 2000-2001)
Working with
another graduate of our training program, Peruvian biologist Carmela
Landeo, CSF is helping examine the real economic impact of roads and
logging on Amazonian indigenous communities. Landeo, who works with the
Peru office of World Wildlife Fund, is studying changes wrought in the
forest and in household incomes as industrial timber extraction draws
indigenous villages toward the cash economy. Landeo is studying the
communities of Shintuya and Shipeteari, both on the fringes of the Manu
National Park.

British Columbia Salmon Aquaculture (Canada : 2004-2005)
Open net-pen salmon aquaculture is now an established component of
the economy in several regions of coastal British Columbia. Despite the

continues to come under scrutiny. Environmentalists and conservation
biologists worry about the known and potential environmental impacts of
net-pen salmon aquaculture; community leaders and development advocates
are concerned about the economic sustainability of salmon aquaculture
and its impacts on rural economies, especially those economies that
traditionally have depended on the harvest of wild salmon.

Monkey Conservation in Bioko (Equatorial Guinea : 2002-2003)
Researchers from the National University of Equatorial Guinea (UNGE)
and Arcadia University have alerted the international conservation

sub-species on the island of Bioko, Equatorial Guinea. These seven
species include the drill, red colobus, black colobus, Preuss' guenon,
crowned guenon, russeteared guenon and putty-nosed guenon. Similarly,
researchers have pointed out the possibility of shortterm disappearance
of the island's other large-bodied game animal, Ogilby's duiker.
