“…By contrast, in 2017, no major extreme event occurred, and yet, megadisturbance was detected in an additional 1276 hectares (1.8% of the National Park area). Perturbance, possibly related to prolonged drought, was registered in Cuban national protected areas, including AHPN, before 2016 13 , 30 and in 2016 31 . The degradation detected in the "forest loss" product in 2017 could relate to a long lasting effect of the megadisturbance combining Hurricane Matthew and prolonged droughts in previous years.…”

The occurrence and combination of extreme meteorological events may lead to severe (megadisturbance) impacts on conserved forests and protected areas all over the world. Recent research has shown that megadisturbance impacts (after the events of hurricanes and prolonged drought) may be detected in subtropical forest cover using changes in spectral indices derived from satellite imagery. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of megadisturbance on forest types of the Alejandro de Humboldt National Park, Republic of Cuba in the 2001–2017 time-period. The Global Forest Cover Change (GFCC, available on the Global Forest Watch website) product was validated and indicated the prominence of megadisturbance for year 2016 (85% of the total disturbed area), largely associated with the Hurricane Matthew event. A robust estimator of the disturbed forest area, based on GFCC-stratified sampled verification sites, suggests that 11,110 ± 1,771 hectares of forest (~ 16% of the Park’s total area) was affected by megadisturbance between 2001 and 2017. In 2017, about 1276 hectares of forests were impacted, presumably related to a long-lasting effect of megadisturbance due to Hurricane Matthew and prolonged droughts in previous years. Four types of tropical rainforests (especially lowland rainforest and submountainous sclerophyllous rainforest on serpentinite), that cover 43% of the National Park, accounted for about 85% of the impacts by megadisturbance. The Easternmost portion of these forests should be prioritized for conservation monitoring and possibly for forest restoration strategies. This study contributes to establishing methodological guidelines for rapid environmental assessment of remote, tropical protected areas facing the impacts of extreme meteorological events and climate change.

“…En 2017, la sequía meteorológica llegó a afectar el 81 % del territorio nacional. De 242 embalses del país, 151 disponían de menos del 50 % del llenado útil, con una situación crítica en 26 que se encontraban total-mente secos [8]. Esta situación se agravó por la intrusión salina, que afecta los depósitos de agua subterránea [9].…”

La investigación tuvo el objetivo de determinar cómo fortalecer la resiliencia comunitaria ante el cambio climático del hábitat rural en el municipio de Camajuaní, Villa Clara, afectado por huracanes y sequías, para apoyar la disponibilidad, acceso y consumo de alimentos diversificados y saludables con seguridad alimentaria nutricional de la población más vulnerable, teniendo en cuenta su rol en la calidad de vida del ciudadano. La metodología adoptada fue desarrollar y aprovechar vías y mecanismos que aumenten y fortalezcan la participación de los ciudadanos, en su aporte a la toma de decisiones y en la solución y control popular de problemas que afectan la alimentación sana de infantes y adultos mayores de la comunidad. Se logró completar los estudios de peligro, vulnerabilidad y Riesgo (PVR) con la estimación de las vulnerabilidades de la producción local de alimentos al impacto de huracanes y sequía, fortalecer sistema de alerta y acciones tempranas, reforzar la vigilancia agrometeorológica e hidrometeorológica de la sequía y huracanes para generar información específica para productores agropecuarios y actores de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional para gestionar la reducción de vulnerabilidades y su impacto en la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional
