Abstract

The objective of this investigation was to elaborate a management plan prior to obtaining the ex-situ wildlife conservation patent, in the Tunkahuan farm, La Matriz parish, Guano canton, Chimborazo province. The physical, biological and sociodemographic conditions of the area were characterized, through a bibliographic review of documents related to the investigation; environmental aspects and impacts were identified to assess the importance of the environmental impact using the Conessa Fernández methodology and the importance of the impact was determined. For the proposal, a descriptive methodology was carried out taking into account the simplified management plan available from the MAATE Biodiversity Information System. The Environmental Impact Assessment reveals that the activities have a non-significant negative impact on the subcomponents: air, soil, flora, fauna, landscape perception and infrastructure, and a very significant positive impact, especially in the socioeconomic aspect, where employment is generated and the economic sector is promoted. Through the results obtained, the collection includes 22 specimens, 12 of the Mammalia class, with 8 genera, 8 families and 2 orders; and 10 specimens of the Reptilia class, with 7 genera, 5 families and 3 orders, also found within 4 of the 9 categories according to the IUCN and in CITES Appendices I and II. It was obtained that the plan consists of the necessary protocols such as labeling, reception, preventive conservation, documentation, cataloging, elimination, biosecurity, among other parameters for the correct administration and operation of the museum. It was concluded that the development of the technical proposal aims to contribute to the conservation and protection of wildlife, through planning, management, adequate infrastructure, coordinated actions between the actors involved, promoting environmental education and continuous evaluation.
