-El Zoo de Indianápolis otorga 1 millón de dólares para salvar al colibrí de garganta azul, en grave peligro de extinción

Un colibrí recién descubierto al borde de la extinción

INDIANAPOLIS, 25 de octubre de 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- El Zoológico de Indianápolis ha otorgado una subvención de un millón de dólares al grupo conservacionista ecuatoriano Fundación Jocotoco para salvar a un colibrí recién descubierto del borde de la extinción.

El Zoo de Indianápolis creó el Desafío de Salvar Especies de un millón de dólares con el objetivo específico de salvar a una sola especie de la extinción. El plan para salvar al colibrí de garganta azul fue elegido por un jurado de expertos internacionales en conservación de animales. En total, se recibieron 52 solicitudes de 46 países.

"Estamos presenciando un declive global de la biodiversidad y el Zoo de Indianápolis está decidido a marcar una diferencia positiva. Nos sentimos honrados de apoyar el trabajo de la Fundación Jocotoco y confío en que el colibrí de garganta azul se pueda salvar", dijo el Dr. Robert Shumaker, presidente y consejero delegado del Zoo de Indianápolis.

El colibrí de garganta azul, una nueva especie de colibrí, se descubrió en 2017. El colibrí de garganta azul se encuentra en solo 24 millas cuadradas de una zona fría y elevada de la aislada cordillera de Chillán, en el suroeste de Ecuador. La pérdida de hábitat debido a la minería y las quemas frecuentes es responsable de la clasificación de esta ave como en Peligro Crítico por parte de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN). Hoy quedan menos de 110 aves adultas.

Poco después de que se descubriera al colibrí de garganta azul, la Fundación Jocotoco creó la Reserva Cerro de Arcos para proteger su hábitat. El grupo utilizará la subvención de 1 millón de dólares para trabajar en estrecha colaboración con las comunidades locales para expandir las tierras protegidas y asegurar la supervivencia del ave.

"Sabemos que podemos tener éxito porque ya lo hemos hecho antes, como salvar al pinzón de cabeza clara, una especie en peligro crítico de extinción. Una vez que la población se redujo a solo 50 individuos, Jocotoco protegió el último hábitat del pinzón de cabeza clara, y la población se multiplicó rápidamente por cinco", dijo el Dr. Martin Schaefer, consejero delegado de Jocotoco.

El Desafío de Salvar Especies se desarrolló con la intención de revertir el declive de una sola especie que actualmente está designada como amenazada en la Lista Roja de la UICN. La Fundación Jocotoco tendrá cinco años para implementar su plan y mejorar el estatus de la Lista Roja del colibrí de garganta azul.
