“…El RNVSM-CN está rodeado de agropaisajes por lo que se considera aislado de otras áreas protegidas (Escalera-Reyes et al, 2013). Se ha demostrado que, en hábitats poco extensos, fragmentados y pocos diversos, los chanchos de monte son más susceptibles a desaparecer (Peres, 1996;Fragoso, 1999;Cullen et al, 2000;Fuller et al, 2002).…”

Rediscovery of Tayassu pecari (Artiodactyla: Tayassuidae) in the Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Mixto Caño Negro, Costa Rica. The white lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) is a widely distributed Neotropical species that can be found from northern Argentina to southern Mexico. According to the IUCN, the white lipped peccary is vulnerable throughout its distribution range. In Costa Rica their distribution has decreased in 89%, its populations are in danger of extinction and are restricted to a few protected areas. This document presents the details of the first records of the presence of white lipped peccary in the Mixed National Wildlife Refuge of Caño Negro, where it was previously considered to be locally extinct. During 2013, 52 in depth interviews were conducted in several communities near the refuge. Between September and December 2015, eight camera traps were placed in farms close or within the refuge. In ten of the conducted interviews, people confirmed that there is a small population of these animals. Most people believe they live in a high and secluded sector of the refuge known as "Terrón". Of the eight camera traps that were used, two were placed in this sector. One of these cameras registered a pack of white lipped peccary composed of at least eight individuals including adults and juveniles. Local ecological knowledge serves as a complement for technical knowledge and as a guide for planning and focusing efforts during the development of ecological research, such is the case of the present study. The confirmation of the presence of white lipped peccary is a finding of great importance since it can serve to increase the conservation measures that are applied in the refuge.

“…The development of this type of tourism ties in with a series of interrelated factors [52,53]. Firstly, in contrast to the situation elsewhere in the region of Río San Juan [57], international cooperation work, especially on the part of the AECID and certain NGOs, has stimulated the economy in which families and people from different socio-economic and political sectors of the locality have participated. This is explained by the way in which the programmes mentioned previously have been designed and executed: the timeframe required for implementation-the AECID Araucaria Programme was developed over 10 years-and the control and monitoring of how these initiatives have been developed on the ground, and above all, the fact that they were approached on the basis of prior in-depth knowledge of local reality.…”

Although family-run micro and small businesses largely form the crux of the locally based tourism sector, either as part of a community organization or as independent units of private enterprise, in El Castillo (Nicaragua) can be found an example of how, even in the absence of a community organization to provide a structural framework, the development of local tourism has sustained practically all businesses set up and run by households, organized largely through family relationships. This structure is pivotal in stoking resilience, not only with regard to private businesses, but also to the system of tourism (specific) and, by extension, to the whole of local society and the surrounding socio-ecosystem, or socio-ecological system (SES) (general). The case study presented here, developed on the basis of long-term ethnographic fieldwork, highlights the role of the family structure within Locally-Based Tourism (LBT) in general and also in specific cases, such as the one studied here, in which it takes on a particularly central role. The confirmation of the importance of families and family relationships as key elements in the robust development of tourism in El Castillo, and of the specific characteristics that its local society presents for this, must be taken into account in order to support Community-Based Tourism projects by institutions and organizations interested in promoting sustainable local development. Indeed, once further case studies are conducted, with a view to providing comparative evidence of these findings, it might even be proven advantageous to create a distinctive subcategory within LBT: Family-Based Tourism.
