Caso Barrio Josema (Barrio La Hacienda) Palmares, Alajuela.
En una era en donde la cotidianidad se ve gravemente impactada por el
aumento de los efectos del cambio climático, surge la necesidad de investigar a
fondo la vinculación entre la desigualdad y los impactos climáticos en comunidades
que han sido sistémicamente vulnerabilizadas. La presente investigación desarrolla
un proceso de gobernanza climática comunitaria desde un diagnóstico socio
ecológico, en donde se identifican las principales variables de degradación
ambiental en la Comunidad La Hacienda, en relación con las políticas
gubernamentales implementadas que produjeron el traslado de poblaciones
urbanas vulnerabilizadas a áreas rurales.
La participación comunitaria fue la variable transversal predominante y como
resultado colectivo se elaboró un plan de gobernanza climática comunitaria que
nace de los talleres y programas educativos aplicados en las poblaciones clave de
la investigación: mujeres, infantes y adolescentes todas pertenecientes al Barrio La
Hacienda en el cantón de Palmares, Alajuela, Costa Rica.; In an era where everyday life is being seriously impacted by the
consequences of climate change, there is a growing need to further investigate the
link between inequality and its influence on the increase of a negative climatological
impacts in systemically vulnerable communities.
This research proposes a community driven climate governance process in Barrio
La Hacienda (Josema), in the town of Palmares in the province of Alajuela, Costa
Rica, which through a socio-ecological diagnosis, identifies the main variables linked
to environmental degradation that surge as a result of government policies that have
transferred vulnerable populations to rural areas, as well as to investigate potential
allies for the process of setting up the necessary networks to carry out a community
climate governance plan, focusing on women, adolescents and children of the
community of La Hacienda.

Of the 93 known species of cetaceans, one-third are found in the Caribbean. Yet there are few large-
scale scientific studies of them in this region. Besides, with 70% of the local population directly
dependent on the sea (fishing, tourism) and numerous shipping lanes, cetaceans are particularly
exposed to human pressures. Thanks to two years of sea expeditions and a substantial sampling
effort in the Lesser Antilles, over 5,200 cetacean photographs have been collected and analyzed.
The creation of a key for determining the anthropogenic or natural origin of the cetaceans’ injuries
has enabled a preliminary estimate of the quantification and location of anthropogenic pressures
linked to maritime traffic and fishing activities in the Lesser Antilles. Cetacean species present
distinct injury profiles, with some being more marked than others by anthropogenic injuries,
especially the dwarf and pygmy sperm whales (Kogia sp.) and the pygmy killer whale (Feresa
attenuata), though they would require more observations. This is also the case for the melon-
headed whale (Peponocephala electra), for which the level of confidence is more reasonable. In
contrast, the most frequently observed species, the pantropical spotted dolphin (Stenella
attenuata), is very little marked. This species can nevertheless be used as a basis for a spatial
analysis of injury distribution, thanks to its resident nature on each island. However, it cannot really
act as a sentinel species, as only 9% of individuals bear anthropogenic wounds. Nevertheless, the
spatial distribution of wounds observed (fresh wounds and on S. attenuata, a resident species)
seems to indicate that certain areas, such as Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia or the
French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe, are particularly associated with high anthropogenic
impacts. Finally, certain biological and ethological characteristics, such as black color, low age of
sexual maturity and high maximum dive duration, seem to increase the susceptibility of being
injured by human activities. This is confirmed by a Random Forest artificial intelligence model, but
more balanced data across species would give greater confidence in these results. More
information on the distribution and behavior of species in the Lesser Antilles, together with
international cooperation, would lead to a better understanding of the threats to cetaceans, and to
more effective global conservation measures.

Se diseña una propuesta de actividades ecoturísticas nocturnas para que contribuya al desarrollo sostenible y diversifique la oferta turística del distrito central de Golfito.
Se identifica los senderos turísticos donde se pueda practicar recorridos nocturnos en el distrito de Golfito y se mapea una ruta ecoturística. También se elabora un inventario de las especies de flora y fauna en los sitios estudiados para proveer una herramienta que permita conocer el potencial turístico nocturno. Y finalmente, se realiza una revista de turismo nocturno natural con base en los datos obtenidos en la investigación, con el fin de proporcionar la información al público en general.
