US-based office and data collection center<\/h3>

The Center for Tropical Conservation (CTC), created in 1988 as a response to the tropical biodiversity crisis, serves as ParksWatch’s administrative base and academic headquarters. The CTC\u2019s primary purpose is to ensure that sound science informs and stimulates sound policy on conservation needs, particularly in tropical developing countries. Working with academic and conservation groups throughout Central and South America, Australia, Africa, and Asia, the CTC has produced collaborative research, including a series of “CTC Reports” focused on applied science and policy issues affecting conservation, and has trained international professionals to become effective natural resource managers.<\/p>

Dr. John W. Terborgh – Chairman of ParksWatch Advisory Board, Director of the Center for Tropical Conservation<\/b><\/p>

John Terborgh is a James B. Duke Professor of Environmental Science and is Director of the Center for Tropical Conservation at Duke University. He is a member of the National Academy of Science, and for the past thirty-five years has been actively involved in tropical ecology and conservation issues. An authority on avian and mammalian ecology in neotropical forests, Dr. Terborgh has published numerous articles and books on conservation themes. Since 1973, he has operated a field station in Peru’s Manu National Park, where he has overseen the research of more than 100 investigators.
Dr. Terborgh previously served on the faculties of the University of Maryland and Princeton University. In June 1992, he was awarded a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship in recognition of his distinguished work in tropical ecology, and in April 1996, he was awarded the National Academy of Science\u2019s Daniel Giraud Elliot medal for his research, and for his book Diversity and the Tropical Rainforest. He serves on several boards and advisory committees related to conservation, including the Wildlands Project, Cultural Survival, The Nature Conservancy, The World Wildlife Fund and both the Primate and Ecology Specialist Groups of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.<\/p>

St\u00e9phane Pauquet – Program Coordinator<\/b><\/p>

St\u00e9phane Pauquet graduated with a B.Sc. in Conservation Biology from San Francisco State University and a M.Sc. in Natural Resources Management from the University of Cottbus, Germany. He has spent the past eight years working on evaluations of South America’s national park systems, and after several years of volunteering became ParksWatch’s coordinator in 2006. His professional interests are the management and dissemination of conservation-related data and the development of cost-efficient and transparent funding mechanisms for nature conservation. After spending two years as a consultant for the Latin American Network of Environmental Funds (RedLAC) as technical coordinator of the Ecofunds Database, he is currently supervising the development of GreenVest, a modernized version of ParksWatch aimed at addressing the most pressing logistical needs of audited parks.<\/p>

Adrian Monjeau is a biologist (1982, La Plata University, Argentina) with a PhD in Natural Sciences (1989, La Plata University) and a post-doc in geographical ecology applied to conservation and epidemiology at the University of Minnesota (USA).<\/p>

He published more than 30 scientific articles in ecology and mammal conservation in the protected areas of Patagonia. He coordinated nearly 40 environmental impact assessments implying compensation strategies aimed at creating new protected areas. Adrian is professor in Design of Natural Reserves, former chair of IUCN\u00b4s new world marsupial specialists group, and former senior consultant on a World Bank environmental project, for which he developed a monitoring system for Bolivia’s protected areas.<\/p>

Adrian Monjeau is director of the IARN (Institute for the Analysis of Natural Resources) at the Universidad Atl\u00e1ntida Argentina, in which he coordinates a team of scientists and technicians with emphasis in geomatics, geographic information systems, statistics and data analysis applied to park management. He is the mentor of seven students.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After several years spent searching for an appropriate local partner to host a ParksWatch program in Bolivia, we have finally found one: Fundaci\u00f3n Natura Bolivia (FNB), a young Bolivian NGO based in Santa Cruz (the country’s second largest city, located in the eastern lowlands).<\/p>

FNB specializes in alternative approaches to nature conservation. Its core activity is the development of local capacity for a Payments-for-Environmental-Services (PES) scheme that involves communities located within the buffer zone of Ambor\u00f3 National Park, whose economic activities threaten old-growth montane Podocarpus forests. By strengthening local property rights through institution-building and innovative conservation and development programs, FNB aims to turn the Los Negros headwater inhabitants into the gatekeepers of these forests.<\/p>

In parallel with this effort, FNB coordinates the preliminary research effort that will support the creation of a significant departmental protected area (with a surface superior to 300,000 ha) in the Rio Grande watershed.<\/p>

To carry out its ParksWatch-related activities, FNB recently hired Jos\u00e9 Manuel Rojas Guti\u00e9rrez, a biologist with over 10 years of field experience with populations of small mammals in southeasterrn Bolivia and associated with the Noel Kempff Mercado Natural History Museum of Santa Cruz.<\/p>
