TIMYAN INTRODUCTION Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are internationally important areas that are essential for conserving biodiversity (Eken et al., 2004; Langhammer et al., 2007). The KBA concept was developed by a consortium of international, national and regional conservation organizations 1 with the objective of prioritizing areas within a country that require protection due the vulnerability and uniqueness of the animal and plant populations that reside in these areas. KBAs are a starting point for conservation planning at the landscape level within a country insofar that the KBAs represent areas that are essential to maintaining globally and regionally threatened species. They can comprise protected and unprotected areas of varying scales and are based primarily on internationally recognized databases and criteria for various taxa, including the IUCN Red List, BirdLife International’s Important Bird Areas (IBAs), Plantlife International’s Important Plant Areas (IPAs), Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) sites and several others. There are approximately 20,000 KBAs worldwide in over 200 countries (Langhammer et al., 2007). The criteria generally recognized for KBAs include 1) One or more globally threatened species; 2) One or more endemic species which are globally restricted to the site or surrounding region; 3) Significant concentrations of a species; and 4) Globally significant examples of unique habitat types and species assemblages (Langhammer et al., 2007). KBAs are an important tool to compile country profiles, maintain biological databases, and present technical and scientific data for use by policy makers, researchers, planners, land managers and local communities to incorporate conservation and environmental priorities in the economic development of Haiti. They are a point of entry in the national conversation and public awareness of an irreplaceable natural heritage that society risks losing if no measures are taken to conserve. KBAs of Haiti The identification of KBAs in Haiti began in 2009 through local expert consultation led by BirdLife International. However, before this period a series of Important Bird Areas (IBAs) were identified in Haiti (BirdLife, 2008). The IBAs served as a base to build the current network of KBAs. A preliminary set of 17 KBAs were identified that represented the majority of threatened terrestrial species on the IUCN Red List. This resulted in a 2009 draft that was reviewed and expanded in 2011 to refine the scientific basis for the KBAs and to merge the KBAs toward the nascent Système Nationale des Aires Protégées being developed under the UNDP and the Ministry of Environment (UNDP, 2011). It should be noted that Haiti has the least amount of protected area among Caribbean countries. A 1 The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), BirdLife International, Plantlife International, Conservation International, Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund and over 100 national/regional civil society and governmental conservation agencies. 2 nominal 6% is often cited, though in reality only 0.3% can be considered to benefit from some degree of protection (Victor, 1997). Upon careful review of the original 17 KBAs, gaps and inconsistencies were found that required a need to increase the number of KBAs and to redefine the boundaries that better reflect the ranges of threatened and irreplaceable taxa. We also took into account the increased complexity of KBAs as opposed to IBAs in both spatial scale as well as biodiversity and the high fragmentation of natural areas. Thus, several KBAs that were based entirely on their designation as IBAs were merged or expanded. For example, Trou Caïman IBA and Lac Azuei IBA were merged to form one KBA (Table 1). While it is possible for a KBA to be a formal entity like a national park or protected area, the situation in Haiti is too poorly developed for this to be of practical value. Rather the KBAs in Haiti are areas where notable concentrations of globally or regionally threatened species occur, particularly those found only within Haiti. Table 1. Summary of Key Biodiversity Areas of Haiti and their relation to Important Bird Areas (BirdLife, 2008). The IBAs are in parentheses. KBAs including IBAs KBAs not including IBAs Proposed KBAs Massif de la Hotte (Aux Bec-Croisés, Bois Musicien) Cavaillon, Cayemites-Baradères, Côtes du Nord, Chaines des Cahos, Dame Marie, Dépression de Jacmel, Dubedou – Morne Balance, Fond des Nègres – L’Etang Miragoâne, Ile à Vache, Ile de la Tortue Ouest, La Gonâve – Côte Sud, La Gonâve – Côte Nord, Le Delta de l’Arti- bonite, Madicaque, Môle Saint Nicolas, Morne Bailly, Nan L’Etat, Neiba d’Haïti, Pic Tête Boeuf, Picmi, Plaisance, Port- de-Paix, Saint Michel de l’Atalaye- Morne Basile.

These potential KBAs are presented in a separate section of this report in order to highlight the need for further analyses that may be required to meet the rigorous selection criteria, as in the case of marine areas (Bass et al, 2010). While KBAs in general are more suited to terrestrial site-specific species, the marine KBAs have been selected due their extremely high biodiversity values and the fact that they are likely to contain at least one regionally or globally threatened species at population thresholds that would be considered significant (Carpenter et al., 2008). In many cases, the coral reefs and mangrove systems were already part of a terrestrial KBA that was expanded to include the marine ecosystems. Figure 1 shows the 31 KBAs identified and presented in more detail below. See Annex 1 for the threatened species found in these KBAs. 3 Figure 1. Map of Haiti showing Key Biodiversity Areas (green polygons). KBA SELECTION An updated list of IUCN Red List species was obtained from the IUCN database for Haiti (IUCN, 2011). This set of threatened species 2 serves the primary basis for identifying KBAs in Haiti (Annex 1). In the case of the Magnoliaceae, the Red List published by the IUCN/SSC Global Tree Specialist Group was included (Cicuzza et al., 2007) though the Haitian species are not listed on the IUCN Red List. KBAs correspond to areas of the country where especially high concentrations of threatened species are found, many times restricted to a specific area of Haiti. Species that are likely to be qualified as threatened, but are considered by the IUCN as “Date Deficient”, are not included in the KBAs. In some cases, they were noted for a particular KBA, especially if closely related species were considered threatened. Furthermore, important endemic species that have never been assessed by IUCN are noted if scientific data exists that suggests their threatened status (Annex 3). Errors found in the IUCN database were corrected to reflect changes in known ranges, nomenclatural updates or changes in the Red List status since 2009. For example, the IUCN Red List does not recognize the population of Cyclura ricordii that is found in the Anse-à-Pitre area of SE Haiti (Rupp & Accimé, 2011), nor does it recognize the status of Eleutherodactylus asporostegus, endemic to Haiti, that was split from Eleutherodactylus ruthae (Hedges et al., 2008). The same case is true for E. displasius that was split from E. wetmorei. In each case, the result is a more restricted natural distribution that would normally increase the species’ vulnerability. 2 Threatened species are classified as Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN) or Vulnerable (VU). IUCN Red List species classified as Near Threatened (NT), Least Concern (LC), Data Deficient (DD) or Not Evaluated (NE) are not considered. 4 Several threatened species listed for the KBAs should be considered as candidates for inclusion since population thresholds or standardized criteria have not been determined for Haiti. These include many of the marine and freshwater species such as sea turtles and crustaceans. The amphibians being assessed by the Amphibian Specialist Group (www.amphibians.org) as a result of the Ark/IUCN assessment conference in Santo Domingo in March, 2011, were also included in this analysis. As a result of current assessments, two of five amphibian species were removed from the KBA lists (Table 2). Three of the species remain listed in the KBAs (Hypsiboas heilprini, Osteopilus pulchrilineatus and O. vastus) due their threatened status in Haiti. Other amphibian species that are under review have been given their 2004 IUCN status until the 2011 assessment is published by IUCN. Table 2. Amphibian species under recent (2011) IUCN assessment. Species 2004 Status 2011 Proposed Eleutherodactylus pictissimus Cochran, 1935 VU NT Hypsiboas heilprini Noble, 1923 VU LC a Peltophryne guentheri Cochran, 1941 VU NT Osteopilus pulchrilineatus Cope, 1869 EN LC a Osteopilus vastus Cope, 1871 EN LC a a Given habitat conditions of species’ natural range ( declining quality of streams, decreasing intact forests, increased fragmentation of habitats), the 2011 IUCN status will likely remain a threatened category (Powell & Inchaustegui, pers. comm.) Thus, the 2004 status have been selected for the KBAs until the final IUCN assessment is completed. The known distribution of the threatened species list was thoroughly reviewed for this report using international databases. For plants, the herbaria collections located in Haiti (EHH), Florida (FLAS), Stockholm (S), New York (NY), Missouri (MO), Santo Domingo (JBSD), and Washington DC (US) were reviewed. For vertebrates, the GBIF database was reviewed as well as several important museum collections in the US . In many cases, only type localities are known for a species and their inclusion within a KBA does not confirm the status of their populations. However, this approach errors on the side of precaution and is primarily due to the lack of field studies generating any data to the contrary. Several species that are listed for Haiti on the 2011 IUCN Red List were not included in the KBAs (Annex 2). These include a lizard, Sphaerodactylus williamsi, that occurs just outside the Artibonite Delta KBA; Ridgway’s Hawk (Buteo ridgwayi) and the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) that have likely been extirpated from their natural ranges in Haiti; and several open ocean species that are uncertain to occur inside Haitian territory due to a deficiency of data. It is realized that the KBAs contain even more threatened species than those assessed since the IUCN Red List, particularly since so many major plant and animal families have not been assessed. Several of these taxa exhibit relatively high rates of endemism in Haiti. These include many genera in the Asteraceae, Cactaceae, Melastomataceae, Myrtaceae, Orchidaceae, Rubiaceae, Sabiaceae, Solanaceae and Urticaceae among plant families; Poeciliinae among fish families; and an uncertain number of invertebrate families. A selected number of these taxa are have been noted for each KBA where they are likely to occur (Annex 3). TECHNICAL DATA SHEETS A technical data sheet was prepared for each KBA that profiles site-specific data. Major categories of data included basic information, biodiversity and current status, threats, current conservation approach, 5 new conservation and governance approach, history and capacity, detailed knowledge of the ecology, acknowledgements, references and additional information that is required. Once the information is reviewed and finalized, these technical data sheets will be entered into the World Biodiversity Database and disseminated to researchers, managers, planners and policy makers. SUMMARY The 31 KBAs in Haiti cover an area of 9,340 km 2 – about a third of the country’s land area. The estimated area of the KBAs include significant areas of marine ecosystems which are generally excluded from the 27,750 km 2 area often cited for Haiti. The KBAs vary widely in their sizes, from the smallest at Picmi (1.6 km 2 ) to the 2 largest, Massif de la Hotte (1981 km 2 ) and Massif de la Selle (1934 km 2 ). The most important KBAs, in terms of the number of threatened species endemic to either the KBA or the island of Hispaniola, are shown in Figure 2. Massif de la Hotte has the most species of any KBA followed closely by Massif de la Selle. However, Massif de la Hotte ranks higher in terms of unique species. The Côtes du Nord KBA is one of the 14 KBAs that includes threatened marine species which are not endemic to the island (shown in green) versus the endemic terrestrial species (shown in red). Figure 2. The KBAs containing the highest number of endemic species. The land-based KBAs varied widely in the number of species being considered and the frequency that each species occur among KBAs. This is due to several factors - 1) The complex geological past of the island and its influence on dispersal and vicariance mechanisms that determine species biogeography; 2) The preponderance of certain genera (e.g., Eleutherodactylus) to contribute a disproportionate share of threatened species; and 3) The wide variation in endemism among species. The KBAs of the “South Island,” comprising the Massif de la Hotte and Massif de la Selle, contain over 60% of the threatened species despite encompassing only 20% of the total land area in Haiti. In terms of endemism, 34% of the KBA species are endemic to Haiti and 63% of the threatened species are endemic to Hispaniola. In many cases, the country endemics occur in very restricted areas and are only represented by a single KBA. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 NO. SPECIES KBA ENDEMIC HISPANIOLA ENDEMIC OUTSIDE HISPANIOLA 6 Approximately 45 % of the terrestrial species are represented by a single KBA in Haiti (50 of 111 selected taxa). Thus, the majority of species are represented by at least 2 or more KBAs. Figure 3 summarizes the frequency that species are represented in the KBAs. The peak at 14 KBAs reflects the set of threatened marine species found in the KBAs including coastal marine areas. Figure 3. Representation of threatened species in KBAs of Haiti. The KBAs include 14 areas of marine ecosystems (e.g., estuaries, coral reefs and mangroves) that were not included in the original list of Haitian KBAs. Two of these KBAs (Arcadins, Banc de Rochelois) are being proposed as KBAs despite their lack of threatened terrestrial species. These KBAs have been included due the significance of the threatened biodiversity found in these systems. However, it is acknowledged that the methodology to determine marine KBAs is still being developed for most species and thus must be considered with caution, particularly with regard to the lack of scientific data supporting threshold populations.
