Abstract (en):
The Neotropical Waterbird Census CNNA (for its acronym in Spanish) is an international initiative that seeks to contribute to the knowledge and conservation of waterbirds and wetlands in South and Central America. This program started in 1990 with the participation of Chile, Argentina and Uruguay and later other countries joined. Although Colombia began its participation in 1992, only since 2002 has the CNAA operated continuously in our country. At the hemispheric level, the CNAA is coordinated by Wetlands International, and in Colombia through the Colombian Birdwatcher Network RNOA (for its acronym in Spanish) and the Calidris Association. After
ten years of this initiative in Colombia with the participation of more than 300 volunteers for census data each year in February and July, 11250 records of 177 species in 38 families in 226 localities of 23 departments were obtained, covering 69% of Colombian territory. The CNAA has allowed the obtention of continuous information about waterbird populations, and enhanced our understanding of these populations in the Neotropics, and has contributed to several important publications.
Abstract (es):
El Censo Neotropical de Aves Acuáticas (CNAA) es una iniciativa que busca contribuir al conocimiento y la conservación de las aves acuáticas y de los humedales en todos los países de América del Sur y América Central. Esta iniciativa se originó en 1990, siendo Chile, Argentina y Uruguay los primeros países en participar. Aunque Colombia inició su participación en 1992, solo hasta 2002 el CNAA comenzó de forma ininterrumpida en nuestro país. A nivel de hemisferio, el CNAA es coordinado por la oficina de Wetlands International y a nivel nacional por la RNOA y la Asociación Calidris. Después de 10 años de participación voluntaria de más de 300 observadores que en las jornadas de febrero y julio registraron las aves acuáticas, se tienen 11250 registros pertenecientes a 177 especies de 38 familias en 226 localidades de 23 departamentos, esto significa el 69% del territorio nacional. El CNAA ha permitido obtener información continua sobre las poblaciones de aves acuáticas, permitiendo enriquecer la información poblacional de varias especies de aves acuáticas en el neotrópico y aportar a varias publicaciones de gran importancia.
