Mamíferos silvestres de la Reserva Natural Hacienda San Pedro, municipio de Maceo, Antioquia, Colombia

Abstract

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The Andean region in Colombia is home to at least 192 species of wild mammals. However, it is a highly transformed region, so the establishment and monitoring of reserves is essential for the maintenance of biodiversity. We made the inventory of the wild mammals of the Hacienda San Pedro Natural Reserve, Maceo, Antioquia. 40 species belonging to eight orders and 17 families are registered. Endangered and endemic species such as Saguinus leucopus, Aotus griseimembra, Notosciurus pucheranii and Proechimys crysaeolus were found. The site assembly presented frequent species from the Magdalena Medio region, as well as from the Central Andes. We hope that this work is a contribution to the academic practices carried out in the reserve and that it highlights its contribution to the conservation of wild mammals at the regional level.
