No existe claridad sobre el impacto en la productividad de diversos cultivos agrícolas con Sistemas Agroforestales (SAF). El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo cuantificar el cambio en la productividad de los cultivos café y cacao en fincas con y sin SAF en la Amazonia Peruana. Para ello, empleamos la metodología del emparejamiento de puntaje de propensión. Los resultados muestran un incremento de la productividad para cultivos con cacao, pero una disminución en cultivos con café. Concluimos que amerita generar información y estudios para proponer SAF compatibles con mejoras en productividad a través de acciones conjuntas entre actores.

The invention of Shipibo visionary paintings in the Western Amazon by the collective of artists and shamans, Barin Bababo, seems to challenge the idealist thesis that the hybridity of contemporary indigenous art and its commercialization in the Western art market would constitute a cultural degradation of "traditional" indigenous art. The works, at the crossroads of shamanic practices based on an animistic worldview and the ability of their creators to weave social networks beyond their ethnic group, appear to represent, on the contrary, a means of expressing a form of resilience in response to the transformations that Shipibo society is currently experiencing in the context of globalization. The "cultural in-between" position of shaman painters, from which the success of their artistic productions with a Western audience of "shaman tourists" derives, challenges the classical dichotomy that opposes "modernity" and "tradition" making of the components of the past a form of cultural renewal.

Corydoras multiradiatus (Orcés V.1960), commonly called "hog-nosed brochis" and popularly known in Peru as "coridora jumbo" is a species of commercial importance among the Amazonian ornamental fish. It is known that the integrity of the health of aquatic organisms positively increases the production and trade of quality products, however, the opposite negatively affects financial losses and production costs. Among the possible diseases, parasitism stands out, and there is still a lack of information, mainly about metazoans, parasitic species that infect C. multiradiatus. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the species of endoparasite metazoans in C. multiradiatus and evaluate the histological lesions present to provide information to ornamental fish producers about these pathologies. Thirty specimens of C. multiradiatus were collected by fishermen in the municipality of "Belén" in Iquitos, Peru. The results revealed the presence of Tylodelphys sp. and nematode larvae in the intestinal wall and Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) pintoi (Kohn & Fernandes 1988) present in the intestine. The histopathological analysis of the intestine showed several lesions: necrosis; cell desquamation; infiltration of lymphocytes in the mucosa; transepithelial infiltration of lymphocytes; enterocyte hyperplasia; goblet cell hyperplasia and enterocyte desquamation. The study revealed the presence of endoparasites in C. multiradiatus collected in Iquitos, Loreto-Peru, and a moderate degree of damage caused by histological lesions in the intestine of infected fish. The results of this work will serve the fishermen, collectors and aquarists of the city of Iquitos, who, knowing the endoparasites present in C. multiradiatus and the damage they can cause to the fish, will be able to adopt prophylactic measures in order to guarantee the good condition of the fish for its consequent commercialization at a local, national and international level.

La invención las pinturas visionarias shipibo (Amazonia occidental) por el colectivo de artistas y chamanes Barin Bababo parece relativizar la tesis idealista de que la hibridez del arte indígena contemporáneo y su comercialización en el mercado artístico occidental constituiría una degradación cultural del arte indígena "tradicional". Las obras, en la encrucijada de las prácticas chamánicas basadas en una cosmovisión animista y la capacidad de sus creadores para tejer redes sociales más allá de su grupo étnico, parecen constituir, al contrario, un medio de expresar una forma de resiliencia en respuesta a las transformaciones que la sociedad shipibo está experimentando actualmente en el contexto de la globalización. La posición de "entre-dos cultural" de los pintores chamanes, de la que se deriva el éxito de sus producciones artísticas con un público occidental de "turistas chamanes", desafiaría así la dicotomía clásica que opone "modernidad" y "tradición" haciendo de los componentes del pasado una forma de renovación cultural.

Pterigoplichthys pardalis (Castelnau, 1855) conocida popularmente en Loreto como “carachama común” es un pez muy demandado por la población amazónica debido al sabor de su carne. A pesar de ser una especie muy conocida en la Amazonía peruana, se desconoce su fauna parasitaria. En ese sentido, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo principal identificar taxonómicamente a los monogeneos parásitos de las branquias de P. pardalis adquiridas en el Mercado Belén, en Loreto-Perú. Fueron adquiridos diez ejemplares de P. pardalis, los cuales fueron trasladados al Laboratorio de Parasitología y Sanidad Acuícola del Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonía Peruana (IIAP) para los análisis parasitológicos correspondientes. Los resultados del análisis de las branquias revelaron la presencia de tres especies de monogeneos: Unilatus unilatus Mizelle & Kritsky, 1967, Trinigyrus peregrinus Nitta & Nagasawa, 2016 y Gyrodactylus sp. Las características morfológicas que permitieron la identificación taxonómica se basaron principalmente en la forma y tamaño de las estructuras esclerotizadas como el complejo copulatorio y el haptor. El cálculo de los índices parasitológicos indicó a U. unilatus como la especie con mayor prevalencia e intensidad de infestación.

This paper analyzes some poems by Leonardo Tello Imaina: poet, communicator, journalist, and director of Radio Ucamara (Nauta, Loreto Region, Peru). Tello identifies himself as a member of the Kukama people, and my analysis here departs from a fundamental premise: the importance of the river for the Kukama people. It then bifurcates into two connected axes: on the one hand, the relationships between humans and non-humans and, on the other--borrowing Mario Blaser's definition--the "ontological conflicts". I emphasize how Tello's poetry contributes to the visibilization of Kukama political ontology and, at the same time, to the inclusion of Amazonian indigenous literature in the national literary scenario.

Los datos obtenidos mediante la plataforma Earth Map son comparables a los de la plataforma Geobosques (Perú) para el mismo periodo 2000-2020. Así, a partir del uso de estas plataformas, se pudo estimar que las concesiones forestales de la provincia de Tambopata (Madre de Dios) han perdido 32 115.36 has de cobertura boscosa, representando el 20.96% de toda la deforestación en la región. En el mismo periodo se cambió la legislación forestal del Perú hasta en tres oportunidades. Estos cambios no han permitido implementar estrategias a largo plazo que estén enfocadas en una verdadera gestión forestal sostenible, así como al control y reducción de la deforestación amazónica. También se constató que concesiones de reforestación, de ecoturismo, de uso de productos diferentes a la madera, son usadas primero para tala de árboles con fines maderables, y luego son convertidas en otros usos de la tierra, como campos agrícolas o manejo ganadero o extracción minera. Bajo estas condiciones legales e institucionales de manejo forestal en Madre de Dios, es que las unidades y concesiones forestales no proveen garantías para evitar la deforestación.

En la Amazonía peruana el estudio sobre el parasitismo de peces es poco abordado, por lo que se desconoce sobre los parásitos que pueda poseer cada pez (ornamental o de consumo), y mucho menos sobre las características morfológicas y sus medidas en particular. El objetivo del presente estudio fue caracterizar morfométricamente al monogenoideo Dawestrema cycloancistrium colectado de ejemplares moribundos de Arapaima gigas procedentes de estanques piscícolas de la carretera Iquitos - Nauta. Fueron analizadas las branquias de 3 ejemplares moribundos de A. gigas provenientes de estanques piscícolas, encontrando con ayuda de un estereoscopio, un total de 993 individuos parasitarios, que fueron identificados como la especie Dawestrema cycloancistrium (Monogenoidea: Dactylogyridae) con la ayuda de un medio de clarificación Hoyer y un microscopio óptico. Al concluir el proceso de identificación, se capturaron imágenes de las estructuras distintivas que facilitan la identificación de D. cycloancistrium. Los datos se registraron en hojas de Excel, lo que posibilitó el cálculo de los índices parasitarios de los peces analizados. Concluyendo que, Dawestrema cycloancistrium es un parásito monogenético de gran tamaño en base a las medidas morfométricas realizadas en la presente investigación.

Se describe e ilustra Chrysochlamys montieliae, nueva especie de la familia Clusiaceae, subfamilia Clusioideae, tribu Clusieae, procedente del Parque Nacional Cordillera Azul, del Departamento de Loreto. Siguiendo los criterios de la UICN, proponemos categorizarla como Datos Insuficientes (DD), debido a que solo es conocida de la localidad tipo. Igualmente, se discute sus relaciones con las especies afines.

Objetivos. Evaluar la variación de los perfiles hematológicos antes, durante y después del tratamiento de pacientes infectados con malaria no complicada por Plasmodium vivax (Pv) y P. falciparum (Pf) en una población de la región Loreto. Materiales y métodos. El estudio se realizó entre 2010 y 2012, en Zungarococha (Iquitos). Los 425 participantes tuvieron tres visitas (visita 1-día 0-antes del tratamiento, visita 2-día 7-durante tratamiento, visita 3-día 28-después del tratamiento), hemograma completo, diagnóstico microscópico y molecular (PCR). Resultados. En la primera visita, se encontraron 93 (21,9%) positivos a Pv y 34 (8,0%) a Pf. Todos los positivos mostraron una reducción en los indicadores hematológicos de hematocrito, recuento de glóbulos blancos (RGB), neutrófilos abastonados y segmentados, eosinófilos y plaquetas (p

Objective. Develop a map of publications showing spatialized scientific research through geographic coordinate points in the Loreto region, preliminary with publications from the journal Amazon Folia. Method. Cartographic and bibliometric techniques were applied to analyze 255 scientific articles published between 1988 and 2016 in the journal Amazon Folia. Results. The publications were centralized in the area of influence of the Iquitos – Nauta, Jenaro Herrera, low and middle basin of the Nanay river and left sector of the Marañón river basin. The scientific network generated through the journal Amazonian Folia showed a "non-related" figure. Institutional affiliations corresponded to 71 entities, 12 countries and 386 authors, where Peru and France had the highest scientific output, inso day as the United States had more institutions affiliated with the journal Amazonian Folia after Peru. Conclusion. The publication map represents a great research tool with projection of development and scientific management. Integration with other journals will allow to guide projects that contribute to the development of the Loreto region and in the future in the Amazonian field.

In this paper we aim to identify some relevant methodological traits of life histories - conceived both as a research framework and as a textual outcome - with members of indigenous peoples. In order to achieve this goal, we discuss the concepts of 'narrator' and 'narrataire', the researchers' stance, and the transformative potential of life histories, as well as some ethical and political issues that these processes and textual productions raise. We depart from the elaboration of the life histories of a multilingual teacher from the Peruvian Amazon and of a historical leader of the Asháninka society: a bilingual book in Spanish and Bora, the first language of the teacher (Díaz Peña 2017), and a book in Spanish and Asháninka, the first language of the historical leader (Casanto Shingari 2022). We state that a core methodological feature of working out life histories with indigenous peoples is the need for clearly setting out throughout the process the various asymmetries and differences between the narrator and the narrataires. A remarkable asymmetry in the experiences we assess pertains to the linguistic market (Bourdieu 2008; 2002), and it emerges from the different social values assigned to the various codes downplayed in the process of producing the life histories and in their textual outcome.

El bufeo colorado (Inia geoffrensis) es el delfín rosado que vive en los ríos de la cuenca amazónica y es el protagonista de una de las más difundidas narraciones de la tradición oral de las poblaciones indígenas y ribereñas de la zona, para las que posee facultades metamórficas. El bufeo, de hecho, puede transformarse en un hombre de rasgos occidentales, un “gringo” alto, muchas veces rubio y con los ojos claros y, frecuentemente, se indica como el padre de los niños de los que se ignora la paternidad. En este trabajo se traza una panorámica de su presencia en algunas novelas ambientadas en la selva, para demostrar cómo los autores —en la mayoría de los casos— aprovechan este relato exclusivamente para perpetuar estereotipos sobre la selva vista como “infierno verde” y sobre la sexualidad de sus habitantes. En contraste, se enseñarán dos casos, los de las novelas Paiche de César Calvo de Araújo y La virgen del Samiria de Róger Rumrrill, en los que se deconstruye el mito y se apunta a una descripción más objetiva de la selva. En estas dos obras, en efecto, los autores explican de manera explícita la carga metafórica del relato, desvelan la violencia que se halla detrás de su creación, lo contextualizan y explican sus funciones en el ámbito social, contribuyendo de esta manera a un acercamiento más equilibrado al mundo amazónico.

Objectives. To evaluate the variation of hematological profiles of patients infected with uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax (Pv) and P. falciparum (Pf) malaria before, during and after treatment in a population of the Loreto region. Materials and methods. This study was conducted between 2010 and 2012, in Zungarococha (Iquitos). The 425 participants had three visits (visit 1-day 0-before treatment, visit 2-day 7-during treatment, visit 3-day 28-after treatment), complete blood count, microscopic and molecular diagnosis (PCR). Results. At the first visit, 93 (21.9%) participants were found positive for Pv and 34 (8.0%) for Pf. All positives showed a reduction in hematocrit, white blood cell count (WBC), ablated and segmented neutrophils, eosinophils and platelets (p<0.001) compared to the negative group. A higher percentage of ablated neutrophils was found in Pf and segmented neutrophils in Pv compared to the negative group. Variations in hematological profiles were observed after treatment for both species; ablated neutrophils decreased, platelets increased, eosinophils increased at day 7 and declined at day 28, hematocrit and segmented neutrophils decreased at day 7 and normalized at day 28. Interspecies differences over time showed a bigger daily decrease in ablated neutrophils in Pv-infected when compared to Pf. Conclusions. The hematological profile in uncomplicated malaria-positive patients varies over time during and after treatment. These are indicators of disease progression and help in the therapeutic surveillance of Plasmodium-infected patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Endogenous development seeks to improve the living conditions of rural inhabitants through the combined use of natural resources and progress actions that are in harmony with the ecosystem but at the same time are a permanent financial path. At the same time, it seeks the preservation of biodiversity as a power of origin, as well as a financial progress with sustainable productivity that provides welfare. In this sense, the purpose of the study was to describe the role of the university as a manager of research and innovation for the achievement of endogenous development in the Peruvian Amazon through the perception of university authorities and professors. The research had a qualitative approach, with a grounded theory design, with teachers and authorities of the National University of the Peruvian Amazon as informants. The results of the interviews were analyzed using the IRaMuTeQ program to determine the cooccurrences and relationships of the two categories: Role of the university as a manager of research and innovation and endogenous development of the Peruvian Amazon. A lexicometric study of the documents generated was carried out. Reporting from the perception of the authorities and teachers to the research and innovation that is carried out from the university as a central axis for the achievement of the endogenous development of the region. In addition, they state the need for the active participation of all students together with their teachers for the planning of activities that lead to solve the problems of the region through the generation of scientific knowledge and innovation. In conclusion, the university has a leading role as a manager of research and innovation to achieve the endogenous development of the Peruvian Amazon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El artículo explora la influencia de las preocupaciones por la deforestación de la Amazonía en la política del cultivo de palma aceitera en el Perú. Para ello se analizaron los discursos subyacentes a la política y de los actores relacionados. Los resultados señalan un cambio de paradigma influenciado indirectamente por las preocupaciones señaladas. Dicha influencia ocurrió presumiblemente mediante los palmicultores, quienes lideraron el reciente proceso de actualización de la política promoviendo su inserción a mercados verdes. También se identificó la necesidad ineludible de incorporar a las comunidades indígenas en la política del cultivo y otras políticas en la Amazonía peruana.

A lo largo de últimos cincuenta años, el liderazgo indígena ha pasado por importantes transformaciones. Dicha trayectoria ha estado dominada por un proceso de fusión y reelaboración de diferentes modelos de liderazgos provenientes de los contextos locales, nacionales y globales. En todo ello, el uso creativo de las herramientas visuales y de los mass media ha jugado un rol fundamental. Al interior del escenario político peruano, la figura de Alberto Pizango Chota, líder shawi de la organización Aidesep, ha marcado un antecedente importante en este sentido. Su caso se impone como un terreno de estudio ejemplar acerca de las extraordinarias posibilidades para un líder indígena actual de uso de la imagen, fabricación de la estética y elaboración de nuevos códigos expresivos. Todos estos son elementos que el liderazgo amazónico ontemporáneo puede proponer y divulgar a través de las tecnologías digitales y las relaciones con los medios masivos de comunicación.

We use a decolonial approach to political economy and a social conceptualization of space to examine how Indigenous cultural understandings and knowledge mediate market rationalities in context. Indigenous Awajún notions of tajimat pujut (life in abundance) and their horticulturalist practices are embedded in a relational ontology that situates humans as part of the ecosystem in the Peruvian Northwest Amazon. As the Awajún are increasingly incorporated into market economies, these notions and practices interact and, at times, converge with the instrumental rationalities of neoliberalism and notions of sustainability and equity that are embedded in local agricultural support programs. We detail these interactions by drawing on ethnography and secondary sources. In the case of the Awajún, we find that Indigenous rationalities are not entirely subsumed by neoliberalization. To the contrary, Awajún values of tajimat pujut and their relationship with the Amazonian territory mediate, transform, and delimit neoliberal governmentality practices. These discourses and relations coexist in tension with an emerging marketization of the Amazon, and are being reworked through contradictions that shape Indigenous productive decisions and impact the sustainability of the forest. Marketization creates opportunities for the native population to obtain income while promoting capital circulation in neighboring markets and amplifying nascent inequalities. Tajimat pujut resonates with discourses and policies relating to pro-poor sustainable local development, producing an Awajún preference for small crop production and aversion to forest depletion, contrary to mestizo preferences for intense monoculture. In this way, neoliberalization is rendered incomplete even as market relations are increasingly incorporated into Awajún economic practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Los Urarina del río Chambira (Amazonía peruana), al igual que otros grupos y comunidades indígenas de la región, enfrentan nuevamente un evento epidémico potencialmente catastrófico. A pesar de la falta de conocimiento sobre los efectos o la forma de propagación de la nueva enfermedad y valiéndose de la poca información disponible, respondieron con prontitud frente a la propagación del COVID-19 disponiendo el cierre de acceso a la cuenca y adoptando medidas de auto aislamiento. El presente artículo es una reflexión sobre la experiencia de estos últimos meses, y nace a raíz de varias conversaciones que tuvieron lugar entre los dos autores a lo largo de todo el periodo de cuarentena. El texto plantea una discusión sobre el coronavirus (kurunabirus), su origen y propagación, valiéndose para ello de un mito urarina inédito que relata la creación de las enfermedades. Finalmente, se resalta cómo el discurso mítico, al contradecir las interpretaciones meramente biológicas, confiere un origen social a las enfermedades infecciosas, cuya vacuna se vuelve efectiva a través de la autonomía y la organización, únicas estrategias virtuosas para enfrentar la emergencia actual.

El pintor amazónico Rember Yahuarcani narra su experiencia de pasar los primeros meses de la pandemia en Pebas, trabajando en la chacra de sus padres, y muestra las fotografías y las pinturas que realizó durante ese periodo en 2020. Su testimonio nos acerca a su día a día en familia y a la observación detallada de la luminosidad, los colores y formas de los seres amazónicos que alimentan su creatividad de artista visual. Combinando palabra e imagen, también expresa su firme crítica al abandono social y la destrucción ambiental sin tregua.

Over the last fifty years, indigenous leadership has undergone a series of important transformations. This trajectory has been dominated by a process of merging and reworking different models of leadership from local, national and global contexts. In all of this, the creative use of visual tools and mass media has played a fundamental role. Within the Peruvian political scenario, the figure of Alberto Pizango Chota, Shawi leader of the Aidesep organisation, has set an important precedent in this regard. His case is an exemplary field of study on the extraordinary possibilities of exhibition, the use of images, the fabrication of aesthetics and the elaboration of new expressive codes. These are all elements that contemporary Amazonian leadership can propose and disseminate through digital technologies and relations with the mass media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Neste artigo, discutimos avanços e tensionamentos teóricos sobre a noção de fotojornalismo ambiental e imaginário a partir do milho. Estudamos fotografias de Robert Frank feitas na Amazônia peruana na década de 1940, utilizando a leitura simbólica, construção teórico-metodológica proposta por Ana Taís Martins alinhada aos postulados da Teoria Geral do Imaginário de Gilbert Durand que considera a experiência imersiva do pesquisador no material de estudo como base, posteriormente complementada pelo cruzamento com dados contextuais extraídos da observação e/ou de documentos. Concluímos que o encantamento entre sujeito e natureza é constituinte de uma possível transformação de consciência e instauração do ativismo, de modo que a luta política seria mais eficaz se travada levando em conta a vivência simbólica.

En este trabajo presentamos un análisis del estado del conocimiento y riqueza de los opiliones Laniatores del departamento de Loreto; en general, arácnidos poco conocidos en la Amazonia peruana. Para ello, se revisó la literatura relevante y se examinó la colección del Museo de Historia Natural de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Perú. Los resultados muestran 72 especies distribuidas en 11 familias. Las familias más diversas fueron Cosmetidae (34 spp.), Cranaidae (11 spp.) y Stygnidae (8 spp.). Aunque no hay información suficiente, las muestras del río Samiria (23 especies, 11 familias) sugieren un grado de endemismo local muy alto, 10 especies están restringidas solo a esta localidad. Con este trabajo se suman 52 especies de Laniatores a las 19 previamente registradas en la literatura para el departamento de Loreto y se registran por primera vez en Perú las familias Biantidae, Samoidae y Stygnommatidae. Aquí se reportan 12 por primera vez para Perú: Cocholla simoni Roewer, Cynorta marginalis Banks, Discosomaticus cinctus (Perty), Meterginus serratus Roewer, Paecilaemula argentinoi Soares, Sibambea rotunda Roewer, Taito insperatus Kury & Barros, Taito rorschachi Kury & Barros, Ventripila marginata Roewer, Hutamaia plei Tourinho & Mendes, Obidosus boibumba (Villarreal & Pinto-da-Rocha), y Stenostygnus pusio Simon.

Studies on territory in Latin America have noted that the trend of state recognition and devolution of Indigenous territorial rights, known as the territorial turn, has created new spatial configurations that are compatible within neoliberal governance, rather than promoting compensatory justice and decolonization. Using a case study of the Awajún of Peru, we argue that Latin American Indigenous movements do not simply respond to or align with neoliberalism. Rather, territorial autonomy is forged through negotiations with the state and other parties at different scales, beyond recognized territorial rights. This study suggests that to assess the effects of territorial turn on Indigenous struggles, we need to elucidate the significance and role of territory in the construction of autonomy as a negotiated strategy within the context of the state and beyond. Based on ethnographic methods and critical literature on territory with a decolonial lens, we examine Awajún territorial practices and territorio as a lived and a conceived space. In a context of limited recognition, material disparity, and external threats, territorial autonomy is historically constructed through territorial practices and embodied and daily experiences. Awajún territoriality thus resonates with a broad impetus in Latin American Indigenous movements, which challenges and complicates official territorial organization under singular nation-states.

A lo largo del siglo XX, en la Amazonía peruana, la gran mayoría de los kukama dejó de autodefinirse ʻindígenaʼ y empezó a emplear categorías aparentemente menos comprometedoras como ʻmestizos ribereñosʼ o simplemente ʻperuanosʼ. Sin embargo, a partir de los años 80 del siglo pasado se asiste, en algunos ámbitos, a un paulatino cambio de perspectiva. En este artículo, concebido al interior del proyecto “Epistemologías alter-nativas”, se tratará de enseñar las principales muestras de la autorrepresentación kukama en los años 2012-2017, dedicando particular atención a la producción cultural más poderosa en este sentido: las canciones de algunəs jóvenes artistas kukama.

In this article, we debate advances and theoretical tensions on the notion of environmental and imaginary photojournalism based on corn. We studied photographs by Robert Frank taken in the Peruvian Amazon in the 1940s, using symbolic reading, a theoretical-methodological construction proposed by Ana Taís Martins aligned with the postulates of Gilbert Durand's General Theory of the Imaginary, which considers the researcher's immersive experience in the study material as a basis later complemented by cross-referencing with contextual data extracted from observation and/or documents. We conclude that the enchantment between subject and nature constitutes a possible transformation of consciousness and the establishment of activism, so that the political struggle would be more effective if carried out considering the symbolic experience.

Chirikyacu, Chunchiwi y Chirik Sacha, ubicadas en la región San Martín (Perú), son comunidades nativas afiliadas al Programa Bosques. En las tres se aprobó la implementación del mecanismo Transferencias Directas Condicionadas (TDC) como instrumento financiero para la conservación de su bosque primario. Esta investigación caracteriza la participación de los beneficiarios a partir del tipo de involucramiento y cantidad de participantes en la ejecución del TDC, identificando factores que facilitan o limitan la participación del grupo beneficiario minoritario. Las minorías, como en cualquier sociedad, acceden a menores oportunidades. En las tres comunidades se encontraron grupos minoritarios más numerosos (e.g.: mujeres) que otros (e.g.: mono-lingües), también se encontraron normas de género aceptadas que limitan a los grupos minoritarios de experimentar desenvolvimiento y aprendizaje. Con los aportes del 86% de familias beneficiarias, se identificó un sistema no complementario de género en la mayoría de las actividades del programa, que además es predominante en el grupo más favorecido de la comunidad. Se concluye que el grupo minoritario principal puede aumentar la cantidad de participantes a partir de las oportunidades que permita la complementariedad de género que rige en cada comunidad (factor interno) y del enfoque de género que incorpore el programa Bosques (factor externo).

Indigenous groups living in the vicinity of oil installations do not always participate in mobilizations against industrial pollution: the experience of environmental damage is not enough for one to protest. This simple statement arises from the analysis of an emblematic though «microscopic» case, located in a border zone of Peruvian Amazonia. In social surroundings of oil industry, protest seems unlikely, due to the multiple ties that develop between the company and indigenous communities. Based on the ethnography of neighbouring villages of an extractive area, the article studies social transformations are caused by the industry, and their effects on local populations’ mobilizations. That way, it highlights the complex motives and modalities of protest, beyond the seeming obviousness of mobilizations against damages caused by oil companies operating in indigenous territories.

Chirikyacu, Chunchiwi, and Chirik Sacha, located in the San Martin region (Peru), are indigenous communities affiliated with the National Program of Forest Conservation for Climate Change Mitigation. The three communities approved the implementation of the Conditional Direct Transfer Mechanism (TDC, acronym in Spanish) as a financial tool for primary forest conservation. This research characterizes the participation of the beneficiaries from the type of involvement and participation size along the TDC execution, identifying drivers that facilitate and limit the participation of the beneficiaries' minority. Minorities, as in any society, have access to fewer opportunities. In the three communities, I found larger minority groups (such as women) than others with less population (such as monolingual), as well as gender norms accepted in the communities, which limit the minority groups from personally growing and learning. With the inputs of 86% of the Program's beneficiary families, I identified a non-complimentary gender system in most of the program's activities, which is also dominant in the most favored group in the communities. In conclusion, the major minority group can increase the participants size, from the opportunities that allow the gender complementarity current in each community (internal driver) and the gender approach that the Program incorporates (external driver).

Conservation corridors are an interesting strategy considering the increasing forest conversion by agricultural areas. We used Bayesian multispecies occupancy model in order to assess the occupancy of mammal species along the Manu-Tambopata conservation corridor (4 164.06 km²), located in the southern Peruvian Amazon. We installed 102 camera traps between May and October of 2017 (8 104 camera days), in four management regimes: Río Los Amigos conservation concession, forestry concessions (ACOMAT), Tambopata National Reserve and agricultural lands. Twenty-seven species of terrestrial mammals were recorded; however, models did not reveal significant differences in species richness among management regimes, although an effect of edge density on community-level occupancy was evident. Non-significant relationships were found between commonly hunted species and management regimes, apart from the white-lipped peccary; however, short-eared dog (Atelocynus microtis) and jaguar (Panthera onca) occupancy were significantly lower on agricultural lands. Our results suggested that, in general, the management regimes and covariables (edge density and distance toroads) did not have an effect at the community level but did have species-specific effects for some species (e.g., A. microtis). MAT corridor is still a space where it is feasible to maintain healthy populations of mammals, although its long-term viability requires ensuring connectivity at both a functional and structural levels.

The Urarina of the Chambira River (Peruvian Amazon), like other indigenous groups and communities in the region, are once again facing a potentially catastrophic epidemic event. Despite the lack of knowledge about the effects or the way the new disease is spreading, and using the little information available, they responded promptly to the spread of Covid-19 by arranging for the closure of access to the basin and adopting measures of self-isolation. This article is a reflection on the experience of the last few months, and arises from several conversations that took place between the two authors throughout the quarantine period. The text raises a discussion about the coronavirus (kurunabirus), its origin and spread, using an unpublished Urarina myth that tells the creation of the diseases. Finally, it highlights how the mythical discourse, by contradicting the merely biological interpretations, confers a social origin to the infectious diseases, whose vaccine becomes effective through autonomy and organization, the only virtuous strategies to face the current emergency.

The Amazonian painter Rember Yahuarcani recounts his experience of spending the first months of the pandemic in Pebas, working in his parent's garden, and shows the paintings and pictures he made during 2020. His testimony brings us closer to his family daily life and to the detailed observation of the luminosity, colours and shapes of the Amazonian beings that feed his creativity as a visual artist. Combining word and image, he expresses his firm criticism of social abandonment and relentless environmental destruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se aporta un registro de Pristimantis orcus situado en un enclave selvático adyacente al cauce medio del río Mazán, situado en la provincia de Loreto, al norte de Perú. Se amplía el rango distributivo conocido para la especie en 210 kilómetros hacia el nordeste, desde la localidad tipo. Este registro tiene la peculiaridad de estar fechado en 1992, diecisiete años antes de que la especie fuera descrita científicamente en 2009. Así como el interés de sumarse a las ocho únicas localizaciones conocidas hasta el momento, siete de ellas en territorio peruano y una en brasileño. Se incluyen anotaciones sobre biometría y fenología reproductiva. ____________________________________________ Abstract: A record is provided of Pristimantis orcus located in a jungle enclave adjacent to the midsegment of the river Mazán, situated in the province of Loreto, in northern Perú, extending the known distribution range by 210 kilometres northeast, of its type locality. The peculiarity of this record is that it is dated in 1992, seventeen years before the species was described in 2009. This new record is the eighth location known until now for P. orcus, seven locations having been discovered in Peru and one in Brazil. This article includes notes on biometrics and reproductive phenology.
