Mammalslong season of relative scarcity of ripe fleshy fruit, has been more intuitive andexperiential than empirical. It is not clear whether the released individuals’difficulties in the season of fruit scarcity result from their inexperience or fromthe effects of selective logging for domestic use in the area, since some of thepreferred timber species are also woolly monkey food plants.Major lessons learned Consideration of the details of dispersal biology is critical in the long-termplanning of a re-introduction. For woolly monkeys, we think a minimum of twomulti-male groups is necessary, so that females reaching reproductive age candisperse from their “natal” troop. This project, sensu latu, has provided highly visible positive reinforcement for aresponsible local community decision with respect to threatened gamespecies. The analysis of the issues relevant to the advisability of re-introduction broughtabout improved understanding of the status of and increased protection for thewild population. The woolly monkey is now recognized as an “integralconservation priority” in the management plan of Amacayacu National Park asa result, and a program for monitoring the wild population has been designedand initiated. The isolation of the Colombian “trapezius” from the rest of thecountry has been recognized in the process; the urgent need for internationalaction to guarantee biological connectivity within the biogeographic unitdefined by the Amazon, Putumayo, and Napo rivers and the eastern cordilleraof the Andes is addressed in a joint action plan of the national parksdepartment’s Amazonian subdivision and Corpoamazonía. The re-introduction of rehabilitated woollies appears to be a viable, notharmful, and probably beneficial possibility for conservation management, butonly makes sense in the context of a comprehensive long-range strategy forspecies and ecosystem protection. Despite generally excellent environmentallaws, Colombia lacks adequate planning and coordination mechanisms amonggovernment agencies with different functions and geographical scales ofaction for this to take place.Success of projectHighly Successful Successful Partially Successful FailureReason(s) for success/failure: Success: Total community involvement and participation from the projectconception, with proactive support from national park and regional naturalresource management agency. Success: Long-term commitment of those involved (community, national park,NGO), not only to reintroduction of woollies, but in general to biologicalconservation as a major aspect of cultural conservation, economicdevelopment, and human well-being. Failure: Top-down, arbitrary management from a national level with insufficientinvolvement from regional actors. In preventing the risks of pathogens,233
Mammalsinvasive species, and exogamic depression associated with re-introduction orsupplementation of wild populations in protected areas with rehabilitatedindividuals, the new national regulations in effect also prevent the potentialbenefits of increasing numbers and avoiding the loss of genetic variabilityassociated with small and fragmented populations.ReferencesBotero, S., L.
