Deterioro de Los Tuxtlas pone en riesgo a monos -- 03/05/2008
Hace unas décadas, la zona de Los Tuxtlas, en Veracruz, era un paraíso en la que se desarrollaban numerosas especies vegetales y animales. Pero la actividad humana ha hecho pedazos el bosque, y los fragmentos remanentes tienden a hacerse más pequeños. Y si el costo ha sido alto para las personas, casi ha significado la extinción para los monos aulladores propios de la región.

Human impacts on primate conservation in central Amazonia -- 03/03/2008
Deforestation in the Amazon is a serious concern. In the Brazilian Amazon, forests are cleared for cattle ranches, soybean cultivation, and selective logging practices. A new plan to settle approximately 180 families north of Manaus, the capital city of the state of Amazonas, has created widespread controversy. The land plots would be located within the study site of the longest-running study of forest fragmentation, the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP). Therefore, the plan would threaten scientific research at the BDFFP and other nearby research sites operated by the Instituto Nacional da Pesquisas de Amazônia (INPA) and Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA), as well as the future of the Central Amazonian Conservation Corridor.
