SUSTAINABILITY & CONSERVATION
at RANITA TERRIBILIS

La Reserva Natural se creó el 27 de noviembre del 2006, para proteger el hábitat del Arriero Antioqueño (Lipaugus weberi). Está clasificada según la Alianza para Zero Extinction como sitio AZE.

Esta área de conservación cuenta con bosques primarios, bosques secundarios y pastizales en proceso de regeneración. Su ecosistema es predominantemente montañoso, por lo que alrededor del 60% de la tierra tiene pendientes, 30% colinas y 10% es zona plana.

En la Reserva ProAves Arrierito Antioqueño habitan 7 especies de ranas vulnerables, 4 de ellas en peligro de extinción y 5 que aún no han sido identificadas formalmente; se cree que al menos una de ellas pertenece a uno de los grupos de ranas más amenazados, el género Atelopus, que vive solo en esta región.

Además, en este santuario de conservación se puede divisar el Tinamú Negro (Tinamus osgoodi), el Pico Agudo (Oxyruncus cristatus), el Tapaculo de Stiles (Scytalopus stilesi), el Hormiguero de Parker (Sercomacra parkeri), el Azor Collajero (Accipiter bicolor), el Cacique Candela (Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster), la Tangara Multicolor (Chlorochrysa nitidísima), la Bangasia Negro y Oro (Bangsia melanochlamys) y la Reinita Cerúlea (Dendroica cerulea), especie migratoria que visita la reserva en su época no reproductiva.
