Abstract

MOLINA, Adriana María  and  BARROS, Juan Fernando. APLICACIÓN DE LOS SIG PARA LA EVALUACIÓN DEL ESTADO DE CONSERVACIÓN DEL HÁBITAT DEL PAUJIL DE PICO AZUL CRAX ALBERTI (AVES: CRACIDAE) EN EL NORORIENTE DE ANTIOQUIA, COLOMBIA. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2005, n.3, pp.95-105. ISSN 1794-1237.

The blue-billed curassow, Crax alberti, is a critically endangered endemic bird from the northern part of Colombia, mainly subjected to habitat loss and subsistence hunting. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were used to compare the conservation status of forested areas, habitat of the blue-billed curassow, in 15 municipalities of the northeastern region of Antioquia for two different time periods (1986 and 2002). The developed application using digital cartography, allowed the classification of eight zones defined for the study area in order to analyze conservation priorities. Recommendations are made as well for future applications of GIS as a management tool for threatened species in Colombia.

Keywords : GIS; blue-billed curassow; Crax alberti; threatened species; conservation status.
