Different initiatives have allowed to know the sounds of neotropical mammals. Although in Colombia there have been some repositories of bioacustics records, the Environmental Sound Collection Mauricio Alvarez-Rebolledo of the Humboldt Institute (IAvH-CSA, Spanish acronym) is the only with public access. Our objectives were to explore the representativeness of mammals in the IAvH-CSA, and to promote the use of this collection within Colombian mammalogists. We found 129 recordings in the collection; the majority corresponding to primates. Recordings had representativeness of all geographic regions, except Catatumbo, and 21 out of 32 Colombian departments. Even though, only 3 % of the mammals' species from Colombia are represented in this collection. Most of the recordings have been provided by ornithologists. Therefore, we make a call to support public repositories in our country, to deposit the acoustic recordings to guarantee accessibility, and allowing to approach further questions regarding this group.
