Abstract (en):
Natural Protected Areas (NPAs) are the main strategy for biodiversity conservation in Colombia and the world. One way to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of NPAs is through the species they protect, especially those species which populations are in decline (threatened). The objective of this work was to evaluate the species richness of threatened and endemic endangered vertebrates within the NPAs of the Pacific region of Colombia, as well as to describe the areas of greatest species richness in the region. Using information available from the IUCN and Birdlife-International, species richness maps were designed at the general and biotic group levels. We found that more than 80% of the threatened and endemic vertebrate species are distributed inside the NPAs of the Pacific region of Colombia. We suggest that the NPAs of the Colombian Pacific play a fundamental role in the conservation of threatened species in the region. Implications of the results obtained in terms of the international agreements to which Colombia subscribes are presented, as well as some recommendations for future related studies.
Abstract (es):
Las Áreas Naturales Protegidas (ANPs) constituyen la principal estrategia para la conservación de la biodiversidad en Colombia y en el mundo. Una de las formas de evaluar la efectividad y el impacto de las ANPs es a través de las especies que protegen, especialmente de aquellas especies cuyas poblaciones están en declive (amenazadas). El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la riqueza de especies de vertebrados amenazados y endémicos amenazados dentro de las ANPs de la región Pacífico de Colombia, así como describir las zonas de mayor riqueza de especies en la región. Usando información disponibilizada por la UICN y Birdlife-International, se diseñaron mapas de riqueza de especies a nivel general y a nivel de grupo biótico. Encontramos que más del 80 % de las especies de vertebrados amenazados y endémicos amenazados se distribuyen dentro de las ANPs de la región Pacífico de Colombia. Se sugiere que las ANPs del Pacífico colombiano cumplen un rol fundamental para la conservación de especies amenazadas de la región. Se presentan implicaciones de los resultados obtenidos en términos de los acuerdos internacionales a los cuales Colombia está subscrita, así como algunas recomendaciones para futuros estudios relacionados.
