Birds Mammals Human Communities The 10 to 12 Cuban endemics that occur in the area Threatened species with depauperate populations: Gundlach’s Hawk (Accipiter gundlachi), Cuban Parakeet (Aratinga euops), and Cuban Parrot (Amazona leucocephala) Migratory forest species that winter in Cuba, because the region is an important refuge for migrant birds Two species of rodents, the Cuban hutia (Capromys pilorides) and the prehensile-tailed hutia (Mysateles prehensilis), because they are hunted Seven threatened species of bats Caves with paintings and sculptures made by people of Arawakan ancestry who once lived in the area The presence of local residents with knowledge of the flora and flora of the Sierra and adjacent savannas who are interested in issues related to biodiversity and education An educational system that can promote environmental education CUBA: CUBITAS ABRIL/APRIL 2006 73
A VISION FOR CONSERVATION 74 RAPID BIOLOGICAL INVENTORIES INFORME/REPORT NO. 08 Taking into account the conservation targets suggested by the rapid inventory, as well as the current status and management of the Sierra de Cubitas, what is an ambitious but realistic vision for the future of the wild communities of plants and animals, and of the human communities, in the Sierra and the adjacent plain? 01 A large protected area of national and international significance because of the biological, geological, paleontological, scenic, and historical-archeological treasures it holds. 02 A natural redoubt in Camagüey Province with native vegetation types that represent perhaps 20% of their original coverage in the Province. 03 The conservation of particularly fragile ecosystems with species exclusive to them, including (1) local, regional, and national endemics, (2) vulnerable, threatened, or endangered species, and (3) migratory species that depend on the resources of the Sierra and the savanna that borders it to the south. 04 Undisturbed caves that retain all of their unique flora and fauna (e.g., cavernicolous invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, and bats), and artifacts from the Arawakan culture. 05 Protection of the the Sierra and savanna, which constitute a Cuban patrimony and international treasure, by means of a model strategy that combines work with local communities, scientific institutions, and conservationists. 06 A situation in which local residents acquire tangible and intangible benefits in return for their support of regional conservation. 07 Presence of a field station that (1) supports scientific studies relevant to biological and cultural diversity in the region and (2) serves to involve local residents, and visitors from elsewhere in Cuba and the world, in conservation efforts in the Sierra and savanna.
