EVALUACIÓN DE LA COLECCIÓN FAUNÍSTICA DEL PARQUE HISTÓRICO GUAYAQUIL 2010-2015

Abstract

The work exposed discloses the historical record from 2010 to 2014 of the faunal collection of the Parque Histórico Guayaquil (PHG) which consists of birds, reptiles, mammals and fish. Although the PHG has maintained this collection since 1999 there haven’t been any records of previous years, which is important for its diffusion and management. To proceed with the updated inventory to 2015, the information from 2010 to 2014 was analyzed and alternatives for the management of threatened animals were proposed. Also, the technical reports were taken in consideration as well as the 2007 management plan provided by the Dirección de Parques y Espacios Públicos. As a result, the 2015 collection of fauna consists of 53 species and 193 individuals distributed in: 25 bird sp, 13 mammal sp, 10 reptile sp and 5 fish sp. As the main goal of the Zona de Vida Silvestre of PHG is to showcase a faunistic collection characteristic of the Coast it is proposed to optimize logistic and operational resources and avoid changes in the forest landscape.
