Home to numerous imperiled animals and plants — including rare magnolias and orchids — this region is threatened by the continuous fragmentation of forests, primarily resulting from livestock farming and the creation of new pastures. This is a vital component of the strategic network of biological corridors being created to connect remaining forest fragments. This proposed expansion contains 32 percent of the global population of Ventanas Magnolia Magnolia polyhypsophylla , the most endangered tree species in the region with only 25 adult individuals known in the world.
It is urgent that properties available for sale which strategically link this biological corridor be purchased for conservation efforts instead of being auctioned for farming purposes. This area is also home to seven bird species, one amphibian species and 26 plant species, 13 of which are species of orchids with at least two considered to be new to science from the genus Lepanthes.
It is also suspected that a Critically Endangered frog species Niceforonia adenobrachia also occurs in this area. It is urgent that properties available for sale which strategically link a vital biological corridor be purchased for conservation efforts instead of being auctioned for farming purposes. One of these channels will be through municipal boards that will provide educational material about environmental initiatives to the nearby urban population.
This expansion will greatly contribute to the creation of a protected biological corridor, with the goal of safeguarding 2, acres by Programs will be established to reintroduce plant species such as the Critically Endangered Ventanas Magnolia and Endangered Yarumal Magnolia, and the creation of a commercial nursery of native and ornamental species will help financially support the management of the reserve. Box Warrenton, VA EIN: CFC Thanks to generous support from our donors, we have successfully reached our fundraising goal for this project.
Biodiversity The proposed expansion of Selva de Ventanas Natural Reserve contains 32 percent of the global population of the Critically Endangered Ventanas Magnolia, which is considered to be the most threatened tree species in the region. Challenges The greatest threat to the biodiversity in this region is the continuous fragmentation of forests, primarily resulting from livestock farming and the creation of new pastures.
