La transparencia de su cuerpo se extiende a todas sus extremidades. La rana de cristal -que acaba de procrear una treintena de huevos y que está liada a uno de los vidrios frontales de su acuario- es parte del proyecto de conservación en el que trabajan de forma conjunta la empresa de exportación de ranas Wikiri y el centro de investigación Jambatu. <br /><br />Wikiri es una empresa privada que apareció en el mercado hace tres años y cuyo objetivo es promover la investigación y la conservación de especies de ranas en peligro de extinción, a través, de la venta de otras ya recuperadas. Estas ranas son vendidas como mascotas sobre todo a EEUU y Europa. Entre las cinco especies recuperadas en los laboratorios de Jambatu están: el sapo bocón del Pacífico, la rana marsupial andina, la rana diablito, la rana mono del Chocó y la rana chachi, todas especies nativas del país. </span><div>

Induglob obtuvo una mención por innovación de productos; La Fabril por mejores estándares de producción; Sigmaplast por mejor innovación tecnológica: Wikiri por mejor producto exótico y Omarsa por mejor diversificación de mercados tradicionales. Álvaro Maldonado, directivo de la Federación Ecuatoriana de Exportadores, resaltó el accionar de los empresarios e hizo un llamado al Gobierno para impulsar el comercio exterior. Asímismo, los exportadores pidieron impulsar la firma de acuerdos comerciales con bloques como el de la Unión Europea (UE) y acercarse más a los mercados tradicionales como EE.UU. y la Comunidad Andina de Naciones (CAN). Eso estará en manos de Francisco Rivadeneira, nuevo ministro de comercio exterior, quien fue posesionado la noche de ayer por parte del presidente Rafael Correa.<br /><br /> Diario <a href="http://www.elcomercio.com/negocios/Mejores-exportadores-premiados-premios-impulso-acuerdos-comerciales-Fedexpor_0_941305976.html">EL COMERCIO</a> Redacción Negocios 09:24 Jueves 20/06/2013<br /><br /><br /><b>Wikiri was awarded among the top Exporters of Ecuador</b><br /><br />Yesterday the Ecuadorian Federation of Exporters (Fedexpor), awarded the best export companies of the country.

Paru morph of <i>Oophaga sylvatica</i> (= <i>Dendrobates sylvaticus</i>)
exported by Wikiri are the offspring of a parental population from the Otokiki

pattern variation within this Otokiki population, which occurs naturally, is
perplexing. See figure depicting variation of wild-caught adult individuals at

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES-TRAD; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Underlying causes of this
intrapopulation variation of the Paru morph are largely unknown and currently
are a matter of speculation. For now, we are reluctant to interpret this
variation as the result of hybridization —a phenomenon that can occur between
species as a result of primary or secondary contact (after a period of
isolation). Underlying factors behind the observed variation probably lie in
the evolutionary history of this population. The historical human intervention
in the area could have played a role as well, but the variation is not a
consequence of Wikiri manipulation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES-TRAD; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Understanding the
mechanisms that promote intrapopulation divergence (such as the one observed at
Otokiki reserve and surrounding areas) and interpopulation divergence (such as
the one among populations of <i>O. sylvatica</i> in the pacific lowlands of
Ecuador and Colombia), and ultimately speciation, is one of the most
challenging and intriguing tasks in evolutionary biology. Geographical
barriers, ecological gradients, genetic drift, and sexual selection are the
main mechanisms (currently speculative for <i>O. sylvatica </i>populations, as
mentioned before) invoked to explain these processes, which are shaping the
variation observed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES-TRAD; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Centro Jambatu has begun
a research program and study projects on the evolution of coloration, morphology and
behavior within and among populations of <i>Oophaga sylvatica. </i>The program
is a cooperative effort among Ecuadorian and USA researchers. We will be doing field,
molecular, and experimental work. The Otokiki population will be critical for
our understanding of coloration evolution because of its huge
variability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES-TRAD; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">For a better
understanding of this variation and its evolution, we need to conduct
fine-tuned studies including morphological descriptions in relation to
behavior, geography, and molecular population genetic structure. Also, we need
to conduct lab controlled experiments to see the consequences of color
variation. We will need to set up crosses between color morphs in order to
identify color specific SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and then examine
the expression bias of parental alleles in the offspring. We will study
behavioral issues and also we will address questions of color determination.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES-TRAD; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Finally, we think that
the hobbyists industry and people who love these frogs should appreciate the
unique opportunity and monumental effort done by Wikiri (see also <a href="http://notiwikiri.blogspot.com/2012/01/ecuafrog-of-wikiri-and-amphibian-trade.html"><span style="color: #0000ed;">Ecuafrog of Wikiri and the amphibian trade</span></a>) in
providing farm and captive raised frogs from a population that displays such a
great intrapopulation variation, which include dull and bright colored
individuals, spotted and non-spotted frogs, orange, red, yellow and brown
colors. Hopefully this variation can be preserved at the site (Otokiki) and
region of Alto Tambo. Backup populations under care of hobbyists are also
important as an ex situ tool helping integrative conservation strategies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(www.wikiri.com.ec) es una compañía de biocomercio sustentable que nace de la necesidad de ayudar a financiar la investigación y la conservación de anfibios en Ecuador. Wikiri comercializa anfibios y otros productos relacionados para el mercado de mascotas y de educación (ver <a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://notiwikiri.blogspot.com/2012/01/ecuafrog-de-wikiri-y-el-comercio-de.html" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2793e6; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="http://notiwikiri.blogspot.com/2012/01/ecuafrog-de-wikiri-y-el-comercio-de.html">http://notiwikiri.blogspot.com/2012/0...</a>)<br /><br />La actual crisis de la extinción que amenaza a los anfibios del Ecuador (156 especies en la Lista Roja de riesgo de extinción de un total de 524 especies conocidas) no tiene paralelo con ninguna otra crisis de biodiversidad que conozca la humanidad. Esta crisis requiere de acciones inmediatas a través de esfuerzos sociales nuevos e imaginativos, integrales, amplios, multifacéticos y multidisciplinarios, a fin de detener y revertir las tendencias catastróficas actuales.<br /><br />Wikiri, consciente de ésta problemática, está profundamente comprometida para aportar con soluciones a esta difícil tarea. Es así que Wikiri nace de un esfuerzo privado enorme y pionero que intenta incorporar la ciencia y la responsabilidad social y ambiental en el comercio de anfibios como mascotas a nivel mundial. En éste sentido, las ganancias de Wikiri están destinadas a financiar la investigación y proyectos de conservación de anfibios, la conservación de sus bosques, y apoyar a la educación de niños y jóvenes en áreas sapodiversas.</span>Anfibios Ecuadorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01810274397981340061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496156474399902028.post-81068015138351029742012-09-10T10:52:00.000-05:002012-09-10T11:26:46.713-05:00Statement of Ministerio del Ambiente de Ecuador on latest illegal trade of wild-caught amphibians<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Wikiri S. A. is a bio-commerce enterprise born from the necessity to help funding amphibian research and conservation in Ecuador. Wikiri commercialize amphibians and other related products (</span><a href="http://english.wikiri.com.ec/productos/index.html" style="color: #666666;">see here</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">) for the pet and educational markets.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">The amphibian extinction crisis that currently threatens the </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="hps"><a href="http://www.anfibioswebecuador.ec/anfibiosecuador.aspx" style="color: #444444;">Ecuadorian amphibian</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">s </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">(156 species included in the <a href="http://www.anfibioswebecuador.ec/listaroja/Default.aspx">Red List, </a>out of 524 known species)</span></span><span class="hps" style="color: #444444;"> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">i</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">s unparalleled by any biodiversity crisis in human history. This crisis requires action now with new, imaginative, integrative, large magnitude and multifaceted societal efforts in order to stop and reverse the current catastrophic trends.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Wikiri is deeply committed as one of the players in this challenging task. Thus, Wikiri is a monumental and pioneering private effort striving to incorporate science, social, and environmental responsibility into the global amphibian pet trade. Wikiri profits are fully dedicated to fund amphibian research and conservation projects, forest conservation, and to support the education of children and youth in frog-diverse areas (</span><a href="http://english.wikiri.com.ec/" style="color: #666666;">see here</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">).</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">The current amphibian pet market has its flaws and during past decades has been tarnished mainly by bad practices, the “phantom farming” and other illegitimate methods of procuring specimens for the trade. Because of the latter, actual prices of some species in the amphibian pet trade do not accurately reflect the real value of the species but represent a distortion due to the aforementioned factors. Low prices might result from either smuggling, or over-collecting large amounts to satiate the demand, while avoiding the often costly and cumbersome bureaucracy and paperwork (CITES and otherwise), which are necessary controls involved with the legal amphibian trade. It should be added that smuggling causes high mortality rates and most illegal specimens are exposed to “horrendous shipping and living conditions on the way to the market” (see </span><a href="http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/taxa/Amphibia.html" style="color: #666666;">Brown et al. 2011</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">). </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">The </span><a href="http://english.wikiri.com.ec/productos/ecuafrog/index.html" style="color: #666666;">Ecuafrog</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> component of Wikiri aims to reverse this situation, serve the needs of the responsible amphibian trade, as well as counteract the illegal trade of amphibians. In this sense, prices of frogs provided by Ecuafrog of Wikiri tend to be ideal prices; incorporating in the equation the costs of production and trade at high quality standards and best practices. The accumulated values related to the needs of amphibian research and conservation, and the education of the next generation is also considered.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Shareholders of Wikiri have invested large amounts of money, time, and effort (sometimes at high life-threatening risks —see more details below in Otokiki reserve) to produce frogs (Ecuafrog) for the amphibian pet and educational markets, using the best available science and technology. In situ and ex situ facilities have been built and developed for this purpose. Also, Wikiri continuously collaborates with some of the top and most experienced Ecuadorian scientists in the fields of biology, with experience and passion for breeding and managing of frogs. Most of them work at </span><a href="http://www.anfibioswebecuador.ec/" style="color: #666666;">Centro Jambatu</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> on Amphibian Research and Conservation, in Quito, Ecuador. For example, their input has been pivotal in developing farm-raising techniques for the production of<i> Dendrobates (Oophaga) sylvaticus,</i> based on environmentally friendly habitat enrichment techniques, which also help in the restoration of degraded areas and the conservation of forests under serious threat. They also have applied and developed technologies for breeding highly endangered species under laboratory conditions. Among best technological practices developed, and used by Wikiri, are also the maintenance of chytrid-free frogs (a fungus that causes high mortality rates in frogs), and the use of proper diets for amphibians, specially the ones to combat metabolic bone disease, which affects many species under captive conditions.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">An example of one of Wikiri´s ex situ efforts is the work being done at the Otokiki tropical rainforest Reserve on the Pacific side of the Andes (near Alto Tambo, Esmeraldas province), in the Chocoan region. This reserve is a high risk region for personnel working at the site and for any activity because of the following: the presence of trespassing forces from Colombia (FARC), as well as paramilitary forces in conflict (see </span><a href="http://www.elcomercio.com/seguridad/Ecuador-comandos-militares-frontera-Colombia_0_584341584.html" style="color: #666666;">here</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">); the current presence and development of gold mining (at the artisanal and industry levels) that is devastating the forest and destroying and contaminating the river courses (see </span><a href="http://www.elcomercio.com/seguridad/FFAA-vigilan-minas-solo-dia_0_523747754.html" style="color: #666666;">here</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> and </span><a href="http://www.lahora.com.ec/index.php/noticias/show/1101151445" style="color: #666666;">here</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">); the presence of drug trafficking activities that destroy the forest for illegal harvesting (see </span><a href="http://www.eluniverso.com/2008/05/10/0001/10/76F64A4B5973420C9A90DF6E0AB71636.html" style="color: #666666;">here</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">); the continuous deforestation caused by the timber industry and agriculture (see </span><a href="http://www.biodiversityreporting.org/article.sub?docId=23113&c=Ecuador&cRef=Ecuador&year=2007&date=October%202006" style="color: #666666;">here</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">), including the expansion of African palm monocultures (see </span><a href="http://www.accionecologica.org/index2.php?option=com_content&task=emailform&id=94" style="color: #666666;">here</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">). </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">This reserve —(Otokiki) - managed by </span><a href="http://www.otonga.org/" style="color: #666666;">Foundation Otonga</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">, a non-profit Ecuadorian research and conservation organization— is home to four of the species currently managed by Wikiri: <i>Dendrobates (Oophaga) sylvaticus</i> (morph Paru), <i>Agalychnis spurrelli, Cruziohyla calcarifer,</i> and <i>Hypsiboas picturatus. </i>These frogs are currently studied and managed at this reserve. Studies of these species are being conducted on their natural history and population dynamics under conditions of habitat enrichment. First results of essays are encouraging and recruitment rates at the juvenile stage are much higher than normal rates, allowing the sustainable ranching of F2 individuals for the trade and also to repopulate restored areas. A careful genetic management of these populations is being planned in order to maintain the genetic variability and viability of them. </span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">Ecuafrog of Wikiri is setting out in the right direction. For example, so far Wikiri currently funds the discovery and description of new species to science, the study of their distribution, evolution, ecology and natural history (see </span><a href="http://english.wikiri.com.ec/investigacion.html" style="color: #666666;">more</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> details), conservation at the Otokiki reserve (see </span><a href="http://english.wikiri.com.ec/conservacion/otokiki.html" style="color: #666666;">more</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> details) and at Sapoparque La Florida (see </span><a href="http://english.wikiri.com.ec/conservacion/laflorida.html" style="color: #666666;">more</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> details), and research and conservation projects of the Arca de los Sapos ex situ program of Jambatu center (see </span><a href="http://english.wikiri.com.ec/conservacion/arcasapos.html" style="color: #666666;">more</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> details). Future, growth and persistence in the long term will depend on political, social, economic, and technical issues, as well as on how the pet market and trade improves its current practices, and how the amphibian hobbyist community throughout the world supports efforts such as Wikiri’s. Complex issues such as obtaining permits from government agencies, fear of spreading of pathogens, fears of biopiracy, bans, inability to work on conflictive areas (such as the Chocoan region in Esmeraldas province) are some of the most important threats to the amphibian trade for the hobbyist, education and research activities. These threats are challenging and are being faced by enterprises such as Wikiri —which has received Ecuadorian government permits and support after a several years-long process— and which needs the full backing and participation of the amphibian community and many other members of society.</span><br />
