Primer Informe Técnico de Restauración Forestal en la Comarca Ngäbe-Buglé (Spanish)

 

 

 

 

The First Forest Restoration Monitoring Report in the Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca, Panama, presents early results from the Intelligent Reforestation Programme. Monitoring of 14 one-hectare restoration plots and 15 transects established in 2022 evaluated seedling survival, species richness and successional dynamics across 27 native tree species.

The findings demonstrate the potential of community-led, science-based restoration using native species to enhance biodiversity recovery, increase carbon sequestration and support resilient, sustainable livelihoods in Indigenous territories.

Listening to mangroves: Using Autonomous Recording Units and Machine Learning tools to assess avian biodiversity in the mangroves of coastal Suriname

 

 

 

 

 

Listening to Mangroves: Using Autonomous Recording Units and Machine Learning Tools to Assess Avian Biodiversity in the Mangroves of coastal Suriname, presents findings from research conducted across six coastal sites between December 2024 and July 2025.

Using passive acoustic monitoring and the BirdNET algorithm, the study identified 508 bird species and demonstrated statistically significant differences in acoustic complexity between mangrove types. The research highlights the ecological importance of mangroves for biodiversity and coastal protection, and demonstrates how non-invasive, data-driven tools can strengthen ecosystem monitoring and inform climate-resilient coastal management.
