DEVELOPING TOWARD A SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RESOURCE
IN AMAZON FRESHWATER FISHERIES
"Buy a fish, Save a tree!"
Project Piaba is a
community based interdisciplinary project established to understand the
ecological and socio-cultural systems of the middle Rio Negro basin,
Amazonas, Brazil, in order to conserve and maintain the live ornamental
fishery and other renewable resources at commercially feasible, and
ecologically sustainable level.

Project
Piaba has been working solidly for many years (1989-2009) on research to
promote the sustainable harvest of aquatic resources that will ensure the
survival of both the Amazonian rainforests and its human inhabitants.
Significant progress has been made during this time, but much more
baseline data are required before firm resource management strategies can
be formulated. The next phase of Project Piaba aims to generate data
relating to a wide range of issues, from population of species diversity,
to the function and structure of the ecosystem, and to develop measures
that will help improve the livelihood of the riverine people. The ultimate
goal is to promote a viable fishery at commercially and ecologically
sustainable, and to help reduce environmentally destructive land use and
rural-to-urban migration in the Rio Negro basin.
