The Dynamics of Threats and Conservation Efforts for the Tropical Andes Hotspot in Amazonas and San Martin, Peru

چکیده
This thesis examines threats and conservation opportunities in the Tropical Andes Hotspot in Amazonas and San Martin regions, Northeastern Peru, using the yellow tailed woolly monkey (Oreonax flavicauda) as a case study. This species and the area suffer sever pressures of varying interests from diverse actors. Although they both rank as global and national conservation priorities, current conservation efforts fail to stop the rapid deterioration of the area or address the species’ decline.
