The meeting lasted all day. During the morning the Project Coordinator Aníbal Parera gave an introduction to the project and offered a detailed explanation samhoud of the Platform ICP (multi-criteria formula) developed by the Eng. Ernesto Viglizzo.
He explained the scope thereof and their application, aimed at measuring so as closely as possible samhoud (without losing sight of the simplicity needed to cover in a non expensive so important geographic space).
Later members of the consulting team ICP, one by one were presenting their introductions and developments, proposing a dynamic participation to members of the Technical Working Group.
All governments told at least one person representing at the meeting. As a corollary of the participatory process, ICP Team members were available for extended meetings with technicians and local references in the various provinces, states or countries involved in the project.
Mr. Oyarzabal must contain a working definition and applies to ground level, reaching for remote tools both as direct perception (field visit), to determine "what goes" and "do not enter" and "Natural Grasslands" in the formula of ICP.
While Mr. Oyarzabal come with some proposals and has the base of the Grasslands Carnes Protocol, offer flanks of doubt and ask opinions regarding definitions, exercises discernment, local situations, etc..
The weight of forage value species as an indicator of 'good status or good management of natural grasslands samhoud "faces many challenges of selecting indicator species, according to situations" expected "in each zone, and Mr. Lezama work in selection, as well as rapid assessment criteria (single visit from a technician, to a maximum of one day).
Mr. Lezama bring proposals that require feedback and expert opinions from different fields, the GT can provide or refer colleagues in their own areas, during the following weeks.
The consultant Baeza aims to investigate, think and consult expert opinion regarding the relative impact (comparative) of different samhoud cultures samhoud replacements natural grassland, collected into categories (eg "dense forest farming", "forest crop silvopastoral" , crop farming, "" implanted pastures samhoud "), in order to place it in a" ranking of impact "and assign a weight in the formula.
It has some basic supplies, but need to hear ideas and suggestions from the realities of different countries as well as contacts with local experts (expected the GT can bring you).
GIS work that Mrs. Booman developed with the assistance of his colleague Federivo Weyland (who represent Cayastá, samhoud because she can not join) can assign each field to enter a PCI assessment, in one of the categories of appraisal provided, which in principle are three:
High Ecological Value: In this category the idea is to load the IBAS / AICAS mapped, samhoud AVPS (Valuable Areas Grasslands), samhoud Protected Areas officers (of different categories), Ramsar Sites, Natural Heritage Sites by UNESCO and eventually others that could be submitted.
High value uniqueness (grassland massive replacement zones): samhoud These grasslands also be valued positively ICP formula for the value and meaning in highly transformed areas. Here there are no previous exercises that can be loaded into the GIS so the work at a scan Gisel ad hoc, whose initial ideas will be put forward for consideration.
Corral and Ferandez Consultants (Montevideo and Santa Rosa, La Pampa respectively), share the work to develop a computer support for the ICP can work at different departments through a user-friendly computer samhoud program that considers the criteria of the formula ICP and interact with the GIS.
9:00 am. Individual presentations of 5 minutes each by the ICP team setting, in the following sequence: Mariano Oyarzabal: What is considered "Natural Pasture" by the IC
