ABSTRACT
This plan seeks the sustainable conservation of the Northern Tiger Cat (Leopardus tigrinus), the smallest feline in Colombia, in the moorland 2,500 to 3,500 meters high, in the Amazon River basin. We will implement 5 strategies based on the feline conservation guidelines of specialists from each Group of the Commission for the Survival of Species IUCN and the conservation objectives of the government of Colombia 2020-2025: conservation, education, monitoring, sustainability and communication.
The first part consists of the bioecological analysis of the target feline; In them, a synthesis of the biological knowledge for each species in the Amazon is made, including a summary of its synonymy and taxonomy, distribution and biology, and conservation status and threats, which include a map of recent records. Each species has associated photos of the animals photographed in the Valley and other photos that illustrate characteristics of special interest to the species. The second part consists of the set of actions to be implemented, either transversal or specific for each species. This initiative is important because it protects the water cycle in the Amazon: it will be carried out in the moorland of Bordoncillo, a flora whose flora traps water with its leaves and releases it through the roots to inject it into the Putumayo river, which flows into the Amazon river. We have the support of the University of the Amazon, and the Kamsá indigenous community, in whose territory the activities of the plan will be developed.
