SUSTAINABILITY & CONSERVATION
AT LAS TÁNGARAS

ProAves Las Tángaras Reserve was established in September 2010 to protect the habitat of two endemic bird species: the Tatamá Tangara (Bangsia aureocincta) and the Black-and-gold Tanager (Bangsia Melanochlamys). The municipality of Carmen de Atrato signed the memorandum of understanding to be part of the Alliance for Zero Extinction of Colombia in October 2010.

The protected area is one of the most diverse and important tropical forest sites in the world, protecting an elevation range from 1,250 to 3,400 meters above sea level. This conservation sanctuary protects the Atrato River basin, one of the most important tributaries of Chocó, which serves as a vital economic resource for thousands of inhabitants living in poor rural communities.

This strategic land acquisition helps consolidate a buffer zone that protects this conservation area from rapid and unsustainable colonization and strengthens the protection of several isolated indigenous communities. A total of sixteen private properties in the area were acquired to create the Las Tángaras Nature Reserve.

Many water sources originate in the area, highlighting the La Sánchez stream, a tributary of the Atrato River.

Regarding flora, there is a remarkable presence of numerous epiphytes and orchids (gen. Epidendrum sp), large trees including encenillos (Weinmannia sp), and aguacatillos (Ocotea sp.), among others.

It presents a high diversity index with records so far of 250 bird species, belonging to 15 orders and 42 families, highlighting the Tatamá Tangara (Bangsia aureocincta), the Black-and-gold Tanager (Bangsia melanochlamys), the Chocó Vireo (Vireo masteri), the Purplish-mantled Tanager (Iridosornis porphyrocephala), the Indigo Flowerpiercer (Diglossa Indigotica), and the White-bearded Manakin (Margarornis stellatus), as well as several species of hummingbirds such as Coeligena wilsonii, Boissaneaua jardini, and Heliodoxa imperatrix.

In amphibians, it is common to find specimens from the families Centrolenidae, Bufonidae, and Strabomantidae, with the notable presence of salamanders from the genus Bolitoglossa.
