Resumen
Este trabajo evalúa la composición de especies del tráfico de fauna silvestre durante el periodo 2015 - 2017, en la Reserva Ecológica Manglares Churute, un área protegida y administrada por el Ministerio del Ambiente, ubicada en la provincia del Guayas. Esta investigación es el primer esfuerzo por evaluar la problemática del tráfico de fauna silvestre en esta provincia, debido a la inexistencia de registros previos. El objetivo principal fue conocer las taxa y las especies que se ven afectadas por el tráfico de fauna silvestre, su lugar de procedencia y determinar si estos especímenes se encuentran en alguna categoría de amenaza dentro de la lista roja. Se registraron un total de 225 procesos, entre retenciones y rescates, que involucran a 46 especies. Las de mayor tasa de tráfico ilegal fueron Brotogeris pyrrhoptera, Dasyprocta punctata y Podocnemis expansa. De las especies reportadas, 8 se encuentran dentro de la Lista Roja de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN) como: Ortalis erythroptera, Brotogeris pyrrhoptera, Psittacara erythrogenys, Ara ambiguus Alouatta palliata, Lagothrix lagothricha, Lontra longicaudis, Crocodylus acutus y 20 se encuentran dentro de la Lista Roja del Ecuador como: Ortalis erythroptera, Brotogeris pyrrhoptera, Psittacara erythrogenys, Ara ambiguus, Leopardus pardalis, Alouatta palliata, Choloepus hoffmanni, Coendou sp., Saimiri sciureus, Odocoileus peruvianus, Cyclopes didactylus, Pecari tajacu, Lagothrix lagothricha, Lontra
longicaudis, Boa constrictor, Drymarchon melanurus. Crocodylus acutus, Podocnemis expansa, Chelydra acutirostris. Se recomienda planificar estrategias de conservación para la protección de la fauna que es producto del tráfico ilegal.
The present work the species composition of wildlife traffic during 2015-2017 in the Manglares Churute Ecological Reserve that is, a protected area located in the Guayas province managed by the Environment Ministry of Ecuador. This research is the first effort to assess the wildlife traffic in this province because of the absence of previous data. The main goal was to identify the taxa and species affected by wildlife trafficking, identifying the origin of species, and determinating if the recovered species are recorded in some of threatened category. A total of 225 events were recorded, between retentions and rescues, corresponding to 46 species, where which the most traded species were Brotogeris pyrrhoptera, Dasyprocta punctata, and Podocnemis expansa. This work identify eight species under any threatment category by the UICN Red List: Ortalis erythroptera, Brotogeris pyrrhoptera, Psittacara erythrogenys, Ara ambiguus Alouatta palliata, Lagothrix lagothricha, Lontra longicaudis, Crocodylus acutus, and 20 species from the Ecuador Red List: Ortalis erythroptera , Brotogeris pyrrhoptera, Psittacara erythrogenys, Ara ambiguus, Leopardus pardalis, Alouatta palliata, Choloepus hoffmanni, Coendou sp., Saimiri sciureus, Odocoileus peruvianus, Cyclopes didactylus, Pecari tajacu, Lagothrix lagothricha, Lontra longicaudis, Boa constrictor, Drymarchon melanurus. Crocodylus acutus, Podocnemis expansa, Chelydra acutirostris. Therefore, is necessary to develop conservation strategies to protect species that are affected by illegal trade.
