We are pleased to announce the release of Volume 30(1) of our journal Conservación Colombiana, a scientific publication that, for over 25 years, has established itself as a reference space for researchers, educators, and key actors in biodiversity conservation. With a rigorous and multidisciplinary approach, the journal disseminates relevant research on wildlife and ecosystems in Colombia and other regions of Latin America, serving as a fundamental tool for the protection of our country’s natural heritage.
This new edition of Conservación Colombiana brings together ten rigorous studies focused on the conservation of emblematic and threatened species such as the Blue-billed Curassow, the Jaguar, the Giant River Otter, the Amazon River Dolphin, the Yellow-spotted River Turtle, and the Spider Monkey, among others.
The studies delve into aspects such as habitat use, behavior, health-related threats, and the relationship between wildlife and local communities. They also include assessments of the status of herpetofauna in strategic conservation areas, analyses of invasive plant species, and contributions from educommunication as a tool to strengthen environmental governance.
Several of these investigations stem from processes carried out in our ProAves Reserves El Jaguar and El Paujil, as part of the Women in Research and Science Scholarship Program.
Scientific production is key to addressing the biodiversity crisis facing Colombia and the world. Each published article represents an effort to generate solid, applicable knowledge that guides concrete actions in the field.
At Fundación ProAves, we believe that effective conservation is possible when it is based on data, evidence, and interdisciplinary work. For this reason, our journal Conservación Colombiana not only highlights high-level research but also promotes dialogue between science, conservation, and society, with the aim of protecting the natural heritage of present and future generations.
