The report presents the most detailed study of its kind ever carried out, in which scientists identified 12 previously unknown centers of endemism — areas that safeguard species found nowhere else in the world — in the Eastern Andean slope and Amazon basin of Peru and Bolivia. The report also illustrates distribution maps for 782 endemic species of plants, mammals, amphibians, and birds in unprecedented detail.
This 72-page report answers the call for stronger ecological performance standards for guiding the wetland mitigation process. Here we present two methods for setting those standards: a) a watershed approach and b) an approach based on ecological integrity assessment methods.
