SUMMARY
The BOSQUE COLOMBIANO ORG led a mapping initiative of 4 ecological corridors and 4 sub-populations of the ‘Saguinus oedipus’ primate, in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in Colombia. The Saguinus oedipus, endemic to Colombia and declared Critically Endangered (CR) by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), has been the subject of various studies where ecological aspects are described and the population density is studied. TO based on the consultation of said studies, the selection of various factors was based to generate a proposal of a functional biological corridor with the use of GIS tools. They were obtained three products, the first one raster that represents the suitability of each pixel as habitat optimal being a very small area in proportion to the selected study area, a shapefile file was also generated with the representation of suitable areas as patches of habitats that allow reproduction and finally several runner series were generated based on the two previous products and the most appropriate one was selected according to home- Saguinus oedipus range , what is necessary to ensure that the species can maintain its space required as habitat and at the same time be susceptible to being sustainable.
Keywords: Ecological aspects; Functional biological corridor; GIS tools; Home- range.
