It is characterized, in part, by small size, gray throat and Finger III strongly swollen in adult males, and an advertisement call of 10 notes with emphasized frequencies at 4920-6040 Hz. Material examined revealed extensive variation in dorsal, ventral, and thigh coloration. In numerous adult males from several localities Finger II is also swollen. The swelling of Finger II varies intraspecifically, possibly as a function of male reproductive activity.

The distribution range of Proctoporus is discontinuous, with many places lacking herpetological surveys. Here, based on morphological data, we describe a new species of Proctoporus from a remote location on a mountaintop north of the Cordillera de Vilcabamba in southeastern Peru. The new species is readily distinguished from all other species of Proctoporus by the presence of three anterior infralabials, three rows of pregular scales and the absence of enlarged pregular scales. With this new species, the species diversity has increased to 19 since 18 species have previously been identified.

All four species lack a visible tympanum and inhabit the upper ridges and slopes within or adjacent to the Park. Phrynopus anancites sp. nov. and P. capitalis sp. nov. inhabit the wet montane grasslands on the upper ridges and valleys from 3600 to 3850 m. Phrynopus anancites (SVL = 25.3 mm) has coarsely aerolated skin and olive green coloration and has small vomerine teeth, while P. capitalis (female SVL = 35.6 mm) is characterized by a large head, short limbs, and distinctive dorsal pattern. Phrynopus dumicola sp. nov. (female SVL = 25.3 mm) has a short head and dark colored body with granular skin on the flanks, and is known only from forest patches along the treeline from 3225 to 3550 m, whereas P. personatus sp. nov. (female SVL = 28.2 mm) has a dark facemask and bright yellow groin spots (possibly aposematic), and inhabits a narrow band of continuous tropical montane rain forest from 2890 to 3110 m. We report infection with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis from one specimen of P. dumicola collected in July of 1988. With the addition of these four new species, Phrynopus now includes 32 nominal species.

Este complejo de pequeñas cadenas montañosas en la parte central del Perú, ha surgido de entre las tierras bajas del río Ucayali, por el Este, y las colinas y los valles más arriba del río Huallaga, al Norte y al Oeste. Cercados por empinadas murallas rocosas que se extienden a lo lejos, el corazón de la región Norte de la Cordillera Azul es una mezcla de crestas y montañas, con abundantes deslizamientos, derrumbes, y escarpas, así como amplios valles y colinas de tierras bajas, lagos y pantanos de altura, e inusuales formaciones rocosas erosionadas (Figuras 2-8). Gran parte del frente oriental de la Zona Reservada Biabo Cordillera Azulpropuesto aquí como el Parque Nacional Cordillera Azul Biabo'' (RAP 1999)-está delineado por una impresionante pared de roca que ha sido levantada por fuerzas tectónicas y partida en una serie de enormes placas triangulares, denominadas "formaciones Vivian." La sección central de esta pared se eleva verticalmente una milla encima de las tierras bajas orientales (y recuerda la cadena de los Grand Tetons en Wyoming, EE.UU.). En general, el área del propuesto Parque Nacional Cordillera Azul Biabo es suficientemente grande para proteger procesos ecológicos y comunidades biológicas en su integridad: 1,42 millones de hectáreas (comparado con 1,53 millones de hectáreas en el Parque Nacional Manu, o 58% más grande que el Parque Nacional de Yellowstone, en los EE.UU.). Uno de los aspectos más importantes y que más llama la atención sobre la región Norte de la Cordillera Azul es la tremenda diversidad de tipos de hábitat. El extenso rango de altitudes (200 a 2400 m), los humedales, los * En su infome en 1999, la Red Ambiental Peruana propuso el nombre "Parque Nacional Alto Biabo Manashahuemana" para el nuevo parque. En el idioma Shipibo, "manashahuemana" significa tortugas. Los Shipibo utilizan este nombre para el área porque los picos de la impresionante cadena de la Cordillera se alinean como tortugas sobre un tronco (véase Figura 5A). La parte Oeste del propuesto parque incluye las cabeceras del río Biabo, en la cuenca del río Huallaga. Por conveniencia, aunque menos evocativo, proponemos el nombre "Cordillera Azul Biabo" para el nuevo parque.

It is most sim-ilar to a few other species occurring along the An-dean front in eastern Peru, namely E. petersi and E. cainarachi, which differ in details ofcoloration, morphology, and vocalization. RESUMEN Epipedobates macero, especie nueva, es un den-drobatido venenoso de la selva pluvial baja del Parque Nacional del Manu, en el drenaje del Rio Alto Madre de Dios, al sudeste del Peru. Es similar a otras dos especies que ocurren en los bosques del llano amaz6nico al pie de los Andes orientales peruanos, a saber, E. petersi y E. cainarachi, las cuales difieren en detalles de coloracion, morfo-logla, y vocalizacion.

Methodology: Results derived from global tests about biological diversity, like the IPBES’ “Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services”, as well as PNUMA’s “Global Environment Outlook GEO-6: Healthy Planet, Healthy People”, among others, were examined. Besides, some scientific results related to the general frame of Theory of Change. Finding: Results from the application of the documents of global planification, to halt accelerated rates of extinction in species, ecosystems and sustainable development, appearing in the Aichi Biodiversity Targets for 2020 and the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, show weak results. Conclusion: There exist drastic transformation changes that will be needed to reach the goals traced in the vision for biological diversity ...

Communal participative land-use planning (Zonificación Participativa Comunal-ZPC) is a tool designed for communities to integrating local and scientific knowledge to sustainably organize and manage their SES. Between 2006 and 2011, a ZPC was developed with communities in the buffer zone of Cordillera Azul National Park (Peru), where rapid demographic changes are converting pre-montane seasonally dry forest into agricultural land. Herein, we analyse how the ZPC enhanced adaptive capacity, enabling the SES to cope with environmental, political and economic changes. Based on qualitative, semi-structured interviews, communities are analysed along their capacities in the dimensions social capital, learning, adaptive management and governance. An analysis of yearly high-resolution forest cover data supports our findings. Deforestation activities in biologically sensitive zones decreased rapidly during the time of the ZPC implementation. We find that particularly the long-term presence of the bridging institution and the continuous testing and reflection of the integrated "hybrid knowledge" enabled communities to develop adaptive capacities. The analysis of ZPC our results reveals the enabling conditions for promoting the learning process to develop a sustainable land-use management in the context of migration and rapid changes.
