Medium and large mammals of the Territorial Training and Reincorporation Area (ETCR) Playa Rica, La Macarena, Meta, Colombia ; Mamíferos medianos y grandes del Espacio Territorial de Capacitación y Reincorporación (ETCR) Playa Rica, La Macarena, Meta, Colombia

The Yarí savannas are an important biogeographic area whose biodiversity has not been explored. This area was historically under the control of illegal armed groups who restricted their access and investigation. With the peace process, the Yarí savannas were opened to research, but also to anthropic processes that threaten their biodiversity. Here, we present a preliminary list that includes the first records of medium and large mammals from the northwestern sector of the Yarí savannas, as a result of a community monitoring program with former FARC combatants. We report 24 species belonging to... Mehr ...

The Yarí savannas are an important biogeographic area whose biodiversity has not been explored. This area was historically under the control of illegal armed groups who restricted their access and investigation. With the peace process, the Yarí savannas were opened to research, but also to anthropic processes that threaten their biodiversity. Here, we present a preliminary list that includes the first records of medium and large mammals from the northwestern sector of the Yarí savannas, as a result of a community monitoring program with former FARC combatants. We report 24 species belonging to 18 families and 8 orders of mammals. We highlight the presence of ten threatened species including Priodontes maximus, Tapirus terrestris and Ateles belzebuth. This represents 96% of the land mammals in the Yarí River. Based on the semi-structured interviews and field notes, we consider deforestation, the advance of the agricultural frontier, livestock and hunting as the main threats to mammals. ; Las sabanas del Yarí son una importante área biogeográfica cuya biodiversidad no ha sido explorada. Esta zona estuvo históricamente bajo el control de los grupos armados ilegales que restringían su acceso e investigación. Con el proceso de paz, las sabanas del Yarí se abrieron a la investigación, pero también a procesos antrópicos que amenazan su biodiversidad. Aquí, presentamos un listado preliminar que incluye los primeros registros de mamíferos medianos y grandes del sector noroccidental de las sabanas del Yarí, como resultado de un programa de monitoreo comunitario con excombatientes de las FARC. Reportamos 24 especies pertenecientes a 18 familias y 8 órdenes de mamíferos. Resaltamos la presencia de diez especies amenazadas incluidas Priodontes maximus, Tapirus terrestris y Ateles belzebuth. Esto representa el 96 % de los mamíferos terrestres en el río Yarí. A partir de las entrevistas semiestructuradas y notas de campo consideramos a la deforestación, el avance de la frontera agrícola, la ganadería y la caza como las ...
