¿Las áreas protegidas sí están protegiendo nuestra biodiversidad?

Abstract

In Colombia there are currently 1,391 protected areas and both within them and on their borders (buffer zones) many human activities take place. Doctoral student from the Faculty of Natural Sciences Kristian Rubiano mapped 51 protected areas to determine the trajectories of land use change. The results, which were presented at the 58th Annual Meeting of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC), showed that protected areas are partially fulfilling their role of conserving ecosystems.
