TYPE OF SERVICE	SERVICES – Specialized – Wildlife Rehabilitation
OUTGOING AGREEMENT/MROSC PARTNERSHIP NUMBER	2101001259/2021
PURPOSE OF THE PARTNERSHIP	The purpose of this Funding Agreement is to locate isolated northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) individuals that need to be managed, in support of the species management program (PAN-Muriquis/ICMBio-CPB), which includes the demographic and genetic rescue of the population in Ibitipoca, Lima Duarte/MG. The actions therefore involve (1) surveys in forest fragments around eight areas where the species occurs in the state of Minas Gerais, namely: Parque Nacional do Caparaó; the Rio Doce, Serra do Brigadeiro and Serra Negra state parks (Parques Estaduais); RPPNs Feliciano Miguel Abdala and Mata do Sossego; Mata da Perdida and Mata de Peçanha; and (2) the creation of an information network among local communities, as well as the establishment of a guidance plan on where to send captive/injured individuals, involving local and regional biodiversity protection bodies.

About the Project

Main Objective

Increase the number of individuals in the Ibitipoca muriqui population, supporting its genetic and demographic rescue.

Main Target

Locate at least 06 manageable individuals of Brachyteles hypoxanthus within 24 months.

Protection Network

Create a Pro-Primate Citizen Network involving communities located around the areas where the species occurs.

Areas of Work

RPPN Mata do Sossego

Campaigns carried out in April/2024, with thermal drone searches and environmental awareness activities.

Parque Estadual Serra Negra

Campaigns in September/2024, with park ranger training and searches in the region.

Mata de Peçanha

Activities in August/2024, including meetings with schools and drone searches.

RPPN Feliciano Miguel Abdala

Activities in May/2024, with monitoring and project outreach in local communities.

Mata da Perdida

Work in June/2024, with searches and distribution of informational materials.

Parque Estadual do Rio Doce

Campaigns in July/2024, investigating forest fragments and verifying reports.

1

Area Identification

Selection of priority areas based on historical records and information from local residents.

2

Active Search

Systematic walks along trails and through forested areas to locate individuals.

3

Recording

Photographic documentation and recording of the geographic coordinates of sighted individuals.

4

Assessment

Analysis of the individuals' characteristics to determine their management potential.

Pro-Primate Network - (Rede Muriqui)

1

Objective

Connect people for rapid action when muriquis are sighted.

2

Participants

Technicians, institutions, rural landowners and people living near forests.

3

How It Works

Rapid communication with MIB, which acts as the information hub.

The Rede Muriqui already has 32 participating institutions, exceeding the project's target of 24. Even with the target achieved, we continue to expand the network to make monitoring and protection of the species more effective.

Expected Impacts

Population Growth

Growth of the Ibitipoca muriqui population through the management of located individuals.

Habitat Protection

Greater protection of the areas where the species occurs, through community awareness and vigilance.

Genetic Rescue

Improved genetic diversity of the population, increasing its long-term viability.

Participatory Conservation

Establishment of a conservation model with the active participation of local communities.

Contingency Plan

Objective

Develop a contingency plan for solitary individuals and migrant females, ensuring their protection and possible management.

Methodology

At least two working meetings with key stakeholders to draft the plan collaboratively.

Timeline

The meetings will be held at the end of the second and third semesters of the project's implementation schedule.

Next Steps

Plan Completion

Completion of the Contingency Plan by 30/10/2024.

Network Expansion

Ongoing strengthening of the Rede Muriqui in the communities.

Institutional Validation

Submission to ICMBio and state agencies for approval.

Continued Searches

Continuation of field campaigns in the remaining areas.

The partnership continues with the core goal of increasing the number of individuals in the Ibitipoca muriqui population, promoting the genetic and demographic rescue of the species by locating and managing individuals from other populations.
