Few details about their diet; taking views flowers Erythrina in Colombia.

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 3.870.000 km2

This species is confined to the Basin Amazon Southeast Colombia (area of Leticia), northeast and southeast Peru and to the West of Brazil, possibly on the right bank of Black river and in river basins Purus, Solimões (this to about Cojadás) and south of Juruá, to the North of Bolivia in Pando and Beni, It is able to see so dispersed in the Eastern Amazonas, around river mouths Negro and Madeira, to the this to Amapá and Pari Eastern, possibly up area Bethlehem.

Apparently sedentary. Local (for example, in Loreto, Peru) but common or abundant in many places (for example, about Leticia).

Perhaps its population has been reduced due to trade locally (for example, in Peru), but the effect of habitat loss remains within the range lower. Present in many protected areas (for example, > Manu National Park, Peru).

Distribution 2 subspecies:

  • Brotogeris sanctithomae sanctithomae

    (Statius Müller, 1776) – Nominal. West Basin amazon, from the southeast of Colombia to the North of Bolivia.

Justification of the population

The size of the world population It has not been quantified, but this species is described as «common» (Stotz et to the., 1996).

Justification of trend

It is suspected that this species has lost 15,9-17,4% of habitat within its distribution over three generations (15 years) starting from a model of deforestation Amazon (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006, Bird et to the., 2011). Given the susceptibility of the species to hunting and / or capture, suspected population decline in <25% durante tres generaciones.

Anatomy-parrots

Description

24 cm.. length and a weight between 70 and 85 gr.

The Pohnpei Lorikeet (Trichoglossus rubiginosus) is unmistakable.

The head and back, dark brown, darker in the head. Scapulars and blankets, are of color Bordeaux dark. The flight feather are blackish in those networks internal and infiltrated with color olivaceous in them vane outer.

The primaries more external are clearly yellow. The bottom of the wings black. The underparts Deep Garnet color, with a black edge in the bottom sides of the edges that draw a bar at the bottom.

The upper part of the tail color is olivaceous, brighter in the vicinity of the tip; lower tail is of color yellow pale. The bill is orange. The irises are yellow-orange, the legs and feet are dark gray.

In the female, the bill seems more yellowish and the irises are greyish white.

In the youth, the feathers seem sharper.

Habitat:

This species is present on the entire surface of the island, until 600 m. It is distributed by a variety of habitats, such as coconut trees, plane trees, dense tropical forests, plots regenerated, forests and mangroves.

The Pohnpei Lorikeet is a bird especially loud, He throws her screams from the roosts after dark. It is fairly easy to detect, Since it wanders in small flocks of February to December in search of food in trees in flower.

It tends to fly high and travel long distances over the ocean.

When fed into the forests of tall trees, usually favors the average vegetation floor.

As the Ponape island receives a large amount of precipitation (until 7600 mm. per year in some places), the Pohnpei Lorikeet seek refuge under the large leaves.

Reproduction:

The Pohnpei Lorikeet It builds its nest on top of a coconut tree or in any cavity of a tree from the forest.
The spawning usually consists of an only egg.
The nesting season generally goes from December to may.

Food:

Consumes nectar, pollen and fruit. While feeding, It tends to keep its head down to pick up their food in the flowers of coconut and banana.
The nectar of Erythrina and the mango is very appreciated by the Pohnpei Lorikeet.

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 350 km2

As its name implies, lori this is endemic of the Ponape island, which is the most populated island of the States federate of Micronesia. Formerly, also lived on the atoll of Namoluk about the island of Truk.

It is possible that range was more extensive than it is today.

Conservation:


Near-threatened

– Current IUCN Red List category: Near threatened

– The population trend: Decreasing

This species is listed as near-threatened because it is suspected that their population, which is mostly a subpopulation, It is in decline due to changes in land use. It also has a very small range; But, is unlikely that it is declining, in terms of population, given the adaptability of the species. Neither population is severely fragmented or restricted to a few locations.

Surveys in 1994 suggested that the species had declined a 74-75% Since the beginning of the eighties, probably indicating a decrease in real (Buden 2000). The current population exceeds the 10.000 specimens (Juniper and Parr 1998, M. O'Brien a little. 2011).

In the news, It is the official bird of the State of Pohnpei and your hunting, capture and export is illegal.

Description

40 to 42 cm. long.

The Black-lored Parrot (Tanygnathus gramineus) It has a green head with a black line that goes from the top of the beak to the eyes.; steeped in turquoise blue Crown. The upper parts of green grass.

The medium-sized wing coverts, green; flight feather, green, a little darker, with blackish margins to the vane inner. Supracaudales coverts yellowish-green. The more underparts, more yellowish green, especially in the lower part of the cheeks and upper part of the chest. Upper, the Green tail with yellow tips; undertail, the Brown tail olive warm.

Billed red; iris yellow ; greyish legs.

Female with the grey brown peak, not red.

Immature undescribed.

Habitat:

Information is received for the first time of the Black-lored Parrot Thanks to ornithologist side Hendrik Cornelis Sieber (1890-1949) in 1930.

Very little of this species is known. Is distributed in mountain forests above 600-700 meters and also, according to sources, in the lowlands, hills and coastal areas. It is partially nocturnal, although sightings of birds perched on treetops during the day, They show that, similar to the Azure-rumped parrot, they can also be active during the day.

Migration is relatively weak and there are only a few reports of parrots flying to high altitudes during the day and descending at night., Judging from their voices.

Reproduction:

There is no data.

Food:

Possibly fruits, berries, seeds and nuts

Distribution:

Endemic to Buru, Indonesian.

Bird predominantly occupies the central part, High Island, where according to sources, There are settlements in Gunung Tagalago, WA Temun and Kunturun, at elevations of 700-1100 m, also in the lowlands of the South in Fäkal, EHU and Leksula. There was a sighting of these parrots near Kayeli Bay on the eastern shores of Buru. Most recent observations made outside North (Waflia) and (Wamlana) Northwest Coast.

The voice of the Black-lored Parrot is heard frequently in Kunturun, mostly 1-7 hours after the sunset, donde los lugareños llaman al pájaro «The ol' blue cockatoo«, which means Blue-headed Parrot. But, was caught during the day with slingshots in fruit trees, suggesting that his activity is not purely night.

Conservation:


Vulnerable


• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Vulnerable

• Population trend: Decreasing

The population is estimated at 2,500-9,999 mature individuals based on an assessment of the known records, descriptions of the abundance and range size. This estimate is equivalent to 3,500-15,000 specimens.

There are no data on trends for this species and has not been seen in the wild since 1995. Their habitat continues to decline slowly and were recorded in domestic trade in the year 2001. So, the population of the species is suspected of have been declining.

Conservation Actions Proposed:

– Conduct surveys, mostly using their vocalizations at night, mainly in the mountain areas.
– Investigate their ecological requirements and movements in order to develop appropriate conservation strategy.
– Identify the most suitable area for the conservation of this and other endangered species in Buru, and promote its establishment as protected areas.

Anatomy-parrots

Description

26 cm. length between 54 and 56 g. of weight.

The Golden-shouldered Parrot (Psephotellus chrysopterygius) males have a pileum black, the forecrown, the lores and orbital area yellow, slightly with blue-green tones. The black of the pileum merges gradually with the greyish Brown of the the mantle, with some blue on the back neck pink. The rump shows a beautiful turquesa color that contrasts slightly with the green color of the tail view from above.

The median bright yellow, they form a visible band in the wings. The greater coverts they have a dominant brown-black color with some small patches of Turquoise Blue clear.

The flight feather they are blackish with a turquoise-colored border around the vane outer. The underparts is blue. The lower parts are turquoise blue, except the lower abdomen and the lower part of the tail, that are red with bases and white finishes. The central tail feathers they usually have a bluish-black-tipped bronze color. The lateral tail feathers they are blue-green with white tips. The underside of tail is white with a dark blue finish. The bill is pale-grey. The irises are dark brown, the legs brownish grey.

The females they have a yellowish-grey colour, along with opaque Brown wash on the top. It also, they have the forecrown yellowish. The flanks, bottom of the chest and Hip they are shaded light blue. The belly is whitish grey with red spots. You can see a pale bars on the wings.

The immature are similar to the females, although young male they have a dark CAP and the cheeks more blue. Young people acquire their adult plumage final at the age of 16 months.

Habitat:

Golden-shouldered Parrot

The Golden-shouldered Parrot they are birds sedentary. But, just after the nesting season, they can make short trips that lead to mangroves. At the time of playback, mainly frequent open forests of eucalyptus and logging and whose undergrowth is covered with a thick layer of grass. Within these areas, the Golden-shouldered Parrot nest, mainly, along with small partially invaded by water bowls. In the territory should, mandatory, Haber mounds of earth made by termites, which are essential for the nesting of this species.

The Perico Aligualdor, usually, they live alone, in pairs or small family groups, but they also sometimes gather in flocks of up to 30 individuals. These birds feed and quench your thirst first thing in the morning or in the evening. They rest on the foliage during the hottest times of the day. The Golden-shouldered Parrot they tend to feed on the ground, where venture with confidence. They find refuge in trees if bother them. They walk up to small pools of water where bathing and quench your thirst.

Reproduction:

The time of reproduction extends from April to August. During courtship, the male makes short flights around the female, rising from the front a short feather Crest and waving his chest feathers.

The Golden-shouldered Parrot they dig their nests in a termite mound still damp from recent rains.

There are two types of termite mounds that are usually used by this species:

– built by termites type conical termite mounds Scopulus

– semicircular termite mounds built by termites of the type laurensis.

The first are usually their favorite because the temperature is most constant, while in semicircular termite mounds, they often have the entrance North, which sometimes causes large thermal contrasts. The mound may contain several nesting rooms. The nest entrance is located between 45 and 125 cm above the ground. A long tunnel 15 to 60 cm ends into a round hole in one 25 cm long.

The Golden-shouldered Parrot It lives in symbiosis with a moth:
The Trisyntopa Scatophaga that at the same time it lays its eggs in the nest of the parakeet. The larvae feed on feces and feathers of the juveniles, helping to keep the nest clean waste.

The female lays of 4 to 7 eggs who is responsible for incubating single for almost 20 days. The young man takes around 5 weeks to acquire all their feathers and leaving the nest. A week after hatching, the male joins the female to feed the young. He stands guard at the top of the nest for long periods of the day.. When he brings the food, notifies the female's arrival, emitting loud cries. When it is time to leave the nest, the young are able to fly into the tunnel without landing.. After the trip, continue to be fed by adults for at least 2 weeks. They remain in the family group for quite some time. To the dispersal of family groups, young males are away more of their places of birth than young females.

Food:

outside the breeding season, the Golden-shouldered Parrot they have a diet almost exclusively vegetarian. Subsist on grass seeds Panicum or Eragostris. They often feed on fallen seeds of different plants.. during the rainy season, When these resources become scarcer, It is likely that it depends on the species of plants that can be found throughout the year.

Distribution:

endemic to northeastern Australia, where is distributed only in a small area north of the río Morehead and South of Musgrave, to the North of Queensland. There are currently at least four populations, each with between 30 and 100 birds, so the world's population can be of no more than 500 individuals, or 150 breeding pairs. Other more recent sources estimate the spawning in around 2.500 individuals mature (Garnett et to the., 2011).

A record of 1980 It extended its known range North to the pascoe river, but in general it has contracted markedly in recent 100 years, prior records were situated towards the South, until around Normanton.

They were largely trapped in the past, especially since the mid of 1960 until the beginning of 1970. But, grazing and burning of crop residues, the spread of tea trees Leptospermum, predation by cats and the disruption of nests by tourists, It may have played one major role in the decline of the species.

Despite the fact that is protected, probably some catches continue.
Some individuals in captive.

Conservation:


Endangered


• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Danger

• Population Trend: Decreasing

The breeding population has been estimated at around 2.500 individuals mature (Garnett et to the., 2011)

Historically, There were three confirmed breeding populations: from Coen to Port Stewart, According to sources taken in the decade of 1920, río Musgrave-Moorhead where the population has shrunk considerably and continues to decline, and to the West of Chillagoe where the population persists, with a stable trend. In general, the population is suspected that it may now be decreasing (Garnett and Crowley 2000), Although the likely rate of decline has not been estimated.

The species has suffered terribly from poaching in the Decade of 1960 and the early 70 Although this bird is protected, such practices still exist.
Today, the Golden-shouldered Parrot faced with new threats: the development of new agricultural land and the destruction of traditional habitats where they were distributed.

"Golden-shouldered Parrot" in captivity:

The Golden-shouldered Parrot It has always been a rare guest of aviaries in the world. But, There are now more birds in captivity than exist in the wild., which demonstrates the difficulties encountered by these birds in their natural habitat.

This species is not recommended for beginners; prices already are high enough to discourage potential buyers, only the true, virtually "professional" fans remain.

A small group composed of one male and seven females of Golden-shouldered Parrot they came to Britain in 1897. These birds were forerunners, but the first known result of successful reproduction dates of 1961. Is inscribed with the name of Alan Lendon an Australian.
The second reproductive success corresponds to a German W. Etterich, This was in 1966. R. Burkard from Zurich achieved it in 1968. It also, in 1954, a so-called Australian breeder Edward Hallstrom got sixteen hybrids after the mating of two males of Golden-shouldered Parrot with females of Hooded Parrot.
Nowadays there are many impure birds in hobby aviaries and that is a shame. These are mostly young hybrid females. These birds do not have the opaque yellow band on the front and, Therefore, one can easily recognize, female purebred if they have the yellow tape and a bronze-colored Crown clear.

The Golden-shouldered Parrot does not resist well a temperate maritime climate; are very sensitive to cold humidity. Apart from that, it is a peaceful and active bird, she is not shy and quickly forges a friendship with her caretaker. His voice is melodious, with what does not bother the neighbors. You spend much time on the ground and like, often, bathing. They are aggressive during breeding with other birds and it is not appropriate to keep them outside with other species.; interactions with other birds are often problematic.

Habitat:

The Black Parrot are resident with some movements of foraging day.

It is found in a wide variety of forests and savanna areas, including ecosystems modified by man, wooded land of cities and towns, as well as primary forests, from the level of the sea up to 2,050 m altitude.

You can see more on the dense forests, swamp forest (including mangroves) and scrublands, that the Vasa Parrot, in order to avoid large areas of humid forests.

Usually seen in small noisy groups, either flying or sitting on the tops of the trees; active on moonlit nights.

In Seychelles, However, the Black Parrot seldom form flocks and in general you seen alone or in pairs, except when the food, locally, they are abundant.

Is not known to form mixed flocks with the Vasa Parrot.

Reproduction:

Nest in the hollow trunk of tree or in a branch, usually above the 15 m.

Breeding probably from November to February.

Clutch of 2 to 8 eggs.

Food:

The Black Parrot they feed on seed, berries, fruits and nuts; more frugivorous than Vasa Parrot.

Specific articles reported on their diet include fruits of Afzelia bijuga and Chassalia, seeds of Cinnamosma fragrans, flowers of Symphonia and some types of leaves.

In Madagascar, according to sources, It has reported consumption of Insect Galls on the part of the Black Parrot.

They attack crops and in the Comoros they are real pests in cocoa plantations, feeding on immature pods.

The main food of the population of Praslin include: Verschaffeltia splendida, Averrhoa bilimbi, Phoenicophorium borsigianum, Deckenia nobilis, Chrysobalanus icaco and Ficus rubra.

Distribution:

Endemic to Madagascar, The Comoros archipelago (Grand Comore and Anjouan) and Praslin island (Seychelles), where it was possibly introduced.

Conservation:


minor concern


  • Current Red List of UICN: Least concern
  • The population trend: Stable

The species that are found in Madagascar and the Comoros they are generally described as common.

Officially treated as pests in Madagascar where the Black Parrot they are persecuted because of the damage caused in crops; Also hunted as food and as domestic fowl.

Despite their intense persecution, apparently they are not at risk and are distributed in many protected areas of Madagascar.

The size of the world's population has not been quantified.

The subspecies of the Praslin island (Seychelles), found in the The Valle de Mai nature reserve, is located in critical state (probably less than 100 birds). Competition for nesting sites with the common mine (Acridotheres tristis) can be one of the threats of the remaining birds.

The “Black Parrot” in captivity:

It is possible to keep them in community with its kind, but out of breeding period. At first he can be shy. It is a active parrot and nervous, generally outgoing Once accustomed to people and environment, tends to be entrusted, although it also depends a lot on its breeding method (natural or by hand) and earlier experiences.

As a pet it can be a wonderful company., loving, playful and very smart.

With regard to its longevity, sources they indicate that a sample lived 34.1 years in captivity.

  • Sound of the Layard's Parakeet.

    Habitat:

    Their preferred habitats are forested areas 1.600 meters above sea level, although registered at altitudes 2.000 m, taking advantage of a wide variety of vegetation types including natural and semi-natural moist forests, tea plantation and botanical gardens; often at the edge of the woods, generally in small groups or couples.

    Sedentary, especially in mountain areas, but extending over the lowlands, especially in humid forests near sea level.

    after feeding, the Layard's Parakeet congregate in trees chattering loud and persistent. Before break, roam issuing strong calls.

    Reproduction:

    The time of reproduction It is around January to May, with a high season from July to September.

    The eggs They are deposited in a natural cavity or disused nest Woody Woodpecker or a bearded, usually at the top of a tree. Competition for nest sites is often intense, especially with Plum-headed Parakeet. The cavity is lined with rotting wood and dust. Two to four white eggs make commissioning. Both sexes share duties incubation and feed on young.

    Food:

    Diet Layard's Parakeet It is believed to be similar to the Rose-ringed Parakeet and Plum-headed Parakeet, although their arboreal habits make them more frugivores and less destructive to crops.

    Registered with the company Brahminy Starling (Sturnia pagodarum) feeding fruit Map peltata (Macaranga tomentosa). Favorite foods include figs and fruit of wild cinnamon (Cinnamomum).

    Distribution:

    Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 18.900 km2

    The Layard's Parakeet It is endemic in south-central and south-west Sri Lanka. In Provincia Central, North of Matale through highlands around south and west Kandy in Western Province and Sabaragamuwa to the North of On Provincia.

    They are distributed also in the east, around the Gal Oya National Park and to the South, in Uva Province, until Haputale. A record of 1880 a bird against Eastern Province. Registration, unconfirmed, in the Maldives It is believed to come from leaks.

    According to sources, abundant in the 19th century and apparently still numerous in some areas, but declining due to habitat loss arising, for example, conversion of natural and semi-natural forests and plantations capture for trade.

    They inhabit in the humid montane forests in the subtropical high and low temperate zones, sometimes frequent partially cleared areas.

    Associated to the wax Palms (Ceroxylon quindiuense), Although the dependence of these species is uncertain since the birds remain absent from those areas in which these palms are abundant. Move, generally, in pairs or small flocks and perform migrations altitudinal and latitudinal, not specified, outside the breeding season.

    Reproduction:

    They fly in stable couples and they always nest in old nests.
    There are reports of nests on wax Palms (Ceroxylon quindiuense) to 25 metres in height
    child in the month of may in the North of Tolima and conditions of reproductive birds have been seen in the month of March in Huila. Breeding season July to October in Ecuador.

    One of the most unique behaviors in reproduction of the Yellow-eared Parrot is the assistance of a third adult ave sharing the duties of parents, conocidos como «ayudantes de cría», they have been observed assisting parents in parenting, feeding and caring for the chicks.

    Clutch of four eggs.

    Food:

    It is known that they feed on las Palmas Ceroxylon quindiuense and Ceroxylon alpinum but it probably takes fruits of all other species of this genus; other reported foods include fruits of the Saurauia tomentosa and Sapium.

    The Yellow-eared Parrot they sometimes feed in more open areas, returning the forest to rest.

    Distribution:

    Size of its range (breeding/resident): 168.000 km2

    Its distribution is discontinuous.

    Limited to the North of the Andes, in the North of Ecuador and West Colombito between 1.200 and 3.400 meters above sea level, (mostly between 2,500-3,000 m).

    With distributed (or distributed) in the three chains of the Andes in Colombia; records in the West of the Andes, from a small area in the South, to the North of Cauca and possibly Valle del Cauca; in the Central Andes, from the western slope of Antioquia, Caldas and Cauca and in the eastern slope, in Tolima and Huila; in the East of the Andes from the West side and the East of the basin in Norte de Santander, on the eastern slope of Cundinamarca and in the header of the Magdalena River Valley, in Huila.

    Observed to the North of Ecuador, from Carchi, Imbabura and Pichincha.

    It is likely that they led by seasonality, with the evidence that are present in Ecuador in the months of November and Colombia during the rest of the year.

    Formerly considered common and in some places even abundant, but now is very scarce and local.

    Drastic reduction of its population in the century 20 due to deforestation on a large scale on much of its distribution area and perhaps decrease of species of Quindio wax Palm.

    Recent records sporadic and the species may now be confined in a few localities in Colombia, including the region of the Munchique national natural park (West of the Andes in Cauca), where some forests remain unchanged, at the front of the Magdalena River Valley, and in the Northwest of the Andes, in Ecuador.

    Registered, sporadically, in several protected areas, including the Cueva de los Guácharos National Park, Colombia, and Book ecológica Cotacachi-Cayapas in Pichincha, Ecuador.

    The total population of the Aratinga Orejigualda is very small and in danger of extinction.

    Very rare in captivity and remaining birds could be at risk of capture. Appendix I. critical.

    Conservation:

    • Red List category of the UICN current: In danger of extinction

    • Population trend: Growing

    The current population It is thought that you understand 1.103 individuals. But, a maximum of only 212 individuals have bred in recent years (Fundación ProAves in litt., 2010), therefore, This figure is used for the current population of mature individuals. The rest of the population is assumed cautiously being too young to reproduce.

    Due to the intensive action conservation of the population has grown from 81 to 1.103 individuals in 2009, of which 212 they are mature (Fundación ProAves in litt., 2010).

    Threats:

    – Its distribution area It seems to be strongly restricted by the expansion of exotic forests, Since only occurs in the native forest (CEIA et to the., 2009).

    – It has been a considerable loss and fragmentation of habitat (90-93% of Montane forest in Colombia) throughout its area of distribution (Salaman et al the 1999b, Snyder et to the., 2000.); But, several significant areas of habitat are maintained within their historic range, which suggests additional causes of impairment (Krabbe 1998, PGW Salaman in litt., 1999).

    – The mortality of the Quindio wax Palm (Ceroxylon quindiuense) It is accelerating and the logging in adjacent areas increases its susceptibility to disease (Krabbe 1998, Salaman et to the. 1999to, Salaman et to the. 1999b, PGW Salaman in litt., 1999).

    – The Quindio wax Palm they are incredibly long-lived and slow growing (some more of 500 years of age) (Salaman 2001), and are being exploited unsustainably for use in the celebrations of the Domingo de Ramos within the range of the species.

    – In Ecuador, their hunting was prolific as food source (Krabbe and Sornoza 1996, Salaman et to the., 1999b), and capture has had any impact on Colombia, Although the species is very difficult to keep in captivity (Salaman et to the. 1999b, Salaman 2001).

    Conservation Actions Underway:

    – CITES Appendix I and II.

    – The traditional breeding place in Ecuador He has bought and is being reforested (Snyder et to the., 2000).

    – Surveys were conducted at the beginning of 2008 in Ecuador to determine the status of the species there (O. Jahn in litt., 2007).

    – It hopes that an awareness campaign for people who live in close, stop parrots feed hunting (Krabbe 1998).

    – In Colombia, awareness to reduce the pressure of the hunting and the impact of the processions of the Domingo de Ramos, It has involved poster campaigns, environmental education, community workshops, radio and school visits (Waugh, 2004).

    – In combination with actions on the ground, such as surveys, fencing of sites of play to allow the regeneration of the wax Palm, the restoration of the habitat and the provision of artificial nest boxes (Salaman 2001, the ProAves Foundation in litt. 2012), the size of the population of the species has increased significantly (Waugh's 2004, the ProAves Foundation in litt. 2010, 2012).

    – ProAves Foundation has two reserves, where this species conservation efforts are focused, about Garden (c.800 hectares) and in Roncesvalles-Tolima (c.10, 000 hectares).

    – In 2009, the ProAves Foundation, Loro Parque Foundation, the American Bird Conservancy and other, they established a corridor of more of 16.000 acres (including the acquisition of more of 10.000 acres) for the Yellow-eared Parrot and other threatened parrots on the Cordillera Central of Colombia (ProAves Foundation in litt. 2010, 2012).

    – In San Luis of Cubarral, the use of artificial nests started in 2011, and it was reported that the population has increased as a result (by O. Cuts in litt. 2013).

    – More information about conservation efforts is provided by Salaman et to the. (2006).

    Conservation Actions Proposed:

    – Search additional subpopulations, with a focus on the definition of the State within the Intag Valley, Ecuador (PGW Salaman in litt., 1999, Snyder et to the., 2000), and prepare maps of habitats of the massif of the The Ruiz-Tolima volcano (Salaman et to the . 1999b).

    – Purchase and further protect habitat (Salaman et to the. 1999b, PGW Salaman in litt., 1999, Snyder et to the., 2000).

    – Continue with the current program of successful conservation efforts in Colombia, and extend it into any subpopulation identified inside of Ecuador in the future.
