摘要

There is growing interest among conservation decision markers in promoting harvesting of forest products as an incentive for communities to retain forest coven Assessments of the sustainability of existing harvests arc, essential for implementing such policies. Madagascars endemic freshwater crayfish, Astacoides spp., are harvested throughout Their range. Despite their importance to human communities, Madagascar's crayfish, like much of the island's freshwater biodiversity are poorly known, and there is concern that the harvest may be unsustainable. We investigated sustainability of the crayfish harvest in and around Ranomafana National Park in eastern Madagascar, focusing on the heavily harvested. A. granulimanus. Several villages around the park, have traditional taboos against-selling crayfish, resulting tit widely varying levels of crayfish exploitation. We used two approaches to assess sustainability of the harvest First we used participatory mapping combined with a geographic information system analysis to produce a spatially accurate map of harvesting intensity. We then carried out mark-and-recapture sampling at 74 sites across a range of harvest intensities to test whether the level of harvesting wets a significant predictor of crayfish density and structure. Second, we used size-structured matrix population models to estimate the forest area necessary to provide the observed annual harvest from one harvesting village and compared this estimate with the area available to the harvester,,;. Our findings show that the crayfish harvest in Ranomafana may be sustainable under current socioeconomic conditions, suggesting that A. granulimanus is less vulnerable to overexploitation. than previously thought We emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to assessing sustainability involving both ecological information about the harvested species and socioeconomic data about The level and spatial pattern of the harvest.
