'DEEP partnered with Rainforest Connection (RFCx) and Instituto Juruá to understand biodiversity patterns in and around floodplain lakes of the Juruá River, in the Brazilian Amazon.
Specifically, we evaluated how different protections and community-based conservation strategies influenced biodiversity levels near these floodplain lakes.
We deployed specialized acoustic recorders at 144 sites across 18 floodplain lakes (9 under community protection & nine without protection). from September-November 2022. We detected 174 species in total (164 birds, 5 mammals, 5 amphibians), including 4 species threatened with extinction: wattled curassow (Crax globulosa), ringed woodpecker (Celeus torquatus), Zimmer's woodcreeper (Dendroplex kienerii), and razor-billed curassow (Mitu tuberosum). We developed species detection and identification models for 51 of the most ecologically important of these species.
We used proven acoustic-based proxies (soundscape metrics) for species richness and composition to show that protected lake sites have higher species diversity than unprotected lake sites. This result highlights the positive impacts that community-led conservation and management can have on biodiversity, and underscores the need to continue supporting grassroots conservation initiatives.'
