At each site, they surveyed a mix of forest types and microhabitats, both in the hilly uplands and on the Yavarís broad floodplain. Their report covers surveys of vascular plants, fishes, reptiles, and amphibians; birds, large mammals, and bats. The report also discusses the findings of a social assets inventory among nearby communities, in which teams used participant observation and conducted semi-structured interviews to quickly evaluate the assets of local communities, and estimate how the communities could be points of engagement for long-term participation in conservation efforts. The survey also reports on the main threats to the area, and offers recommendations for protection, management, and long-term conservation benefits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Pitman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0914868659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780914868651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Field Museum of Natural History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.28w x 0.82d","brand":"Nigel Pitman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447817285887,"sku":"9780914868651","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ba3c141-349c-4d63-a8af-5db02523da9c.jpg?v=1777235016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peru-nigel-pitman-9780914868651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
