Oficial de campo acciones de manejo de Águila Real, así como para la conservación de sus hábitats en APFF Maderas del Carmen
El Águila real (Aquila chrysaetos) (preocupación menor por la UICN) se encuentra actualmente en veinte estados de México y hay poblaciones reproductoras en Durango, Zacatecas, Jalisco, San Luis Potosí, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, Coahuila, Aguascalientes y la península de Baja California. Y es probable que existan nidos activos en Guanajuato y Sonora, Sinaloa y Nayarit. En 2011, gracias al PACE: Águila Real se registraron 81 parejas reproductoras y 145 nidos en siete estados mexicanos. El águila real tiene un gran valor cultural en México, que data de las culturas prehispánicas.
La principal amenaza para esta especie es la destrucción de su hábitat que para finales del siglo XIX ya había causado que las águilas reales abandonaran algunas regiones en las que solían habitar. En el siglo XX, las intoxicaciones por organoclorados y metales pesados también eran comunes, pero éstas han disminuido como consecuencia de las regulaciones más estrictas en materia de contaminación; en la actualidad, los principales factores que limitan el tamaño de su población son la disponibilidad de hábitat y alimentos. Las colisiones con líneas eléctricas se han vuelto una causa cada vez más importante de su mortalidad desde principios del siglo XX. El águila real tiene un gran valor cultural en México, que data de las culturas prehispánicas.
El objetivo del proyecto es aumentar la efectividad de las Áreas Protegidas en México para contribuir a la conservación de especies en riesgo. Para lograr esto, el proyecto perseguirá dos resultados principales:
1. Marcos consolidados a nivel de sistema para apoyar la conservación de especies en riesgo; y
2. Las Áreas Protegidas se manejan de forma eficaz para la conservación de las especies en riesgo seleccionadas.
El proyecto será ejecutado, mediante la Modalidad de Implementación Nacional (NIM por sus siglas en inglés) junto con la CONANP quien fungirá como asociado en la implementación.

2017-2019 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program Overview.
2017-2019 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program Overview.
Mote Marine Laboratory (Mote), an independent nonprofit institution established in 1955, has recently adopted a 2020 Vision & Strategic Plan that includes as one of Mote’s four core priorities, “Ensure the long-term prosperity of the research enterprise through focused staff recruitment and nurturing programs.” In order to address this specific priority, a new Mote Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program began in 2011.
As an independent, nonprofit, mission-based organization, Mote’s greatest strength has been its ability to define its own agenda and research based on our communities’ needs and our scientists’ expertise. Mote is committed to being a leader in nationally and internationally respected research programs that are relevant to conservation and the sustainable use of marine biodiversity, healthy habitats, and natural resources. We envision a comprehensive and integrated Mote enterprise with research, innovation, and public education and outreach programs that are among the most creative and fruitful in the world. Postdoctoral Research Fellows are selected based on their ability to not only strengthen and diversify the Laboratory’s significant existing research expertise, but also the potential to establish their own innovative research initiatives as independent investigators. Exemplary Fellows may be invited to join Mote as Staff Scientists upon completion of their initial appointment.
Mote’s research extends throughout the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and tropical to polar environments. The main 10 acre campus is headquartered on City Island in Sarasota, Florida, with a nearby 200 acre inland marine aquaculture research park; in Charlotte Harbor (Lee County- southwest Florida) with a fisheries research station, and on Summerland Key (Monroe County- Florida Keys) with a new Tropical Research Laboratory. Mote’s more than 30 doctoral-level scientists and more than 20 research programs are described at mote.org/research.

Seafood Manager WWF
WWF encourages business to see themselves as stewards of the natural world. Our corporate stewardship approach entails encouraging businesses to recognise the risks associated with sourcing natural assets, the need to collaborate with others in order to manage this risk, and the value of positively influencing public policy frameworks.
The WWF-UK seafood programme engages with companies to make the trade in seafood legal and sustainable. In the UK our focus is on the supply chains of 5 key species: tuna, cod, haddock, shrimp and salmon. We engage in different parts of these supply chains, from wild fish catch and fish farming sectors, through to the processors, retailers and consumers. In so doing, WWF-UK supports the work of other WWF offices around the world including China, India, Brazil and East Africa. The seafood programme also works closely with the Marine Policy Unit, and in particular the fisheries policy team, to integrate the markets and policy programmes.
The post holder will be responsible for leading, managing and implementing WWF-UK’s Seafood programme, including the management of up to 4 members of staff and reviewing and developing the programme strategy, in line with the overarching organisational goals.
This senior role sits within WWF-UK’s Sustainable Commodities Unit in the Corporate Stewardship team and is responsible for overseeing the strategic development and management of UK-based seafood markets work. The post holder will play a pivotal role in delivering WWF-UK’s seafood priorities as part of the wider Corporate Stewardship team’s engagement with business, as well as linking to the wider WWF network under the Oceans Practice. The role will entail working with key players within the UK seafood industry towards improving the sustainability of priority fisheries, increasing transparency and sustainability throughout the supply chain and improving uptake of MSC and ASC certified products. The post holder will also undertake targeted policy advocacy, where appropriate and be responsible for developing and implementing projects/partnerships which support the programme.
The position is based in WWF-UK headquarters in Surrey.
