Community Atlases produced by Project FAUNA
Project Fauna is the field name for U.S. National Science Foundation award DEB 0508094 (2005-2011) “Biodiversity dynamics and land-use changes in the Amazon: multi-scale interactions between ecological systems and resource-use decisions by indigenous peoples”, directed by Principal Investigator Jose M. V. Fragoso.
These atlases were created by Project Fauna as part of U.S. National Science Foundation-funded research to investigate biodiversity dynamics and cultural practices by the indigenous peoples of the Rupununi. They provide a summary of the major datasets that were created using data gathered in the field from 2007-2010.
Project Fauna was granted permission from the following communities in the Rupununi to share the maps on the NRDDB website:-
- Aishalton
- Achawib
- Para Bara
- Karaudarnau
- Awarewanau
- Tipiru
- Paipong/Tiger Pond
- Wowetta *
- Fairview *
- Katoka *
- Kwaimatta *
The communities marked with an (*) are part of the NRDDB.
The other study communities for which Atlases were created are Apoteri, Rewa, Crashwater, Quatta, Nappi, Moco Moco, Quiko/Shulinab, Sand Creek, Werimoor, Shiriri, Shea and Sawariwau. These atlases will be made available when permission is received.
