Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta: Reserva Natural de las Aves El Dorado - TvAgro por Juan Gonzalo Angel
Twitter @juangangel
Sinopsis:
Colombia es un país privilegiado ya que posee una gran riqueza biológica, Sin embargo, este paraíso terrenal se ha visto gravemente afectado por diferentes presiones ambientales producto de la explotación humana descontrolada. Esta reserva tesoro natural, fue creada en el año 2006 como respuesta a la necesidad que había de proteger un área tan frágil e importante para el mundo como es la sierra nevada de santa marta, hábitat de un gran número de especies animales y vegetales únicas. Conservar estos bosques es fundamental, pues para estas especies endémicas y amenazadas son la única oportunidad que tienen para perdurar en el tiempo y ser conocidas por nuestras futuras generaciones, este es su único hogar.
Establecimiento:
La Reserva Natural de las Aves El Dorado fue creada el 31 de marzo de 2006, basándose en la urgencia de conservar uno de los sitios más frágiles e importantes de Colombia, la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, hábitat de un gran número de especies animales y vegetales únicas.
Ubicación y Área:
La reserva se encuentra ubicada sobre la Cuchilla de San Lorenzo, en el sector occidental de la vertiente norte de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, en el corregimiento de Minca, perteneciente al municipio de Santa Marta, departamento del Magdalena. Actualmente comprende una extensión de 1.024 hectáreas, en un rango altitudinal entre los 950 y los 2.600 m.s.n.m.
Importancia biológica:
Cuenta con un alto número de especies endémicas de fauna y flora amenazadas de extinción; además, los bosques conservados benefician a las tres especies de aves más amenazadas de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta: el Periquito de Santa Marta (Pyrrhura viridicata), el Atrapamoscas de Santa Marta (Myiotheretes pernix) y el Ala de Sable de Santa Marta (Campylopterus phainopeplus). Por valores como éstos la reserva es catalogada como un Sitio AZE (zeroextinction.org) y una Área importante para la conservación de las aves –AICA- (birdlife.org). Esta Reserva hace parte del Distrito Chundúa de la Provincia Biogeográfica de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta y de un Área de Endemismo de Aves (EBA 036). En este sitio también se protegen áreas importantes para más de 40 especies de aves migratorias como la reinita alidorada (Vermivora chrysoptera) y la Reinita cerúlea (Dendroica cerulea).
Importancia histórica:
El área que conforma la Reserva está compuesta por bosques nativos anteriormente pertenecientes a las haciendas La Victoria, Cincinnati y Vistanieves, de trayectoria cafetera e historia de más de 100 años en la región.
Hidrografía:
El sector norte de la Reserva se encuentra ubicado sobre la cuenca del río Gaira el cual es de vital importancia para la ciudad de Santa Marta; numerosas corrientes de agua de tercer y cuarto grado, las cuales son clave para comunidades menores como corregimientos y veredas, recorren el área. En el sur de la actual área protegida, las quebradas vierten principalmente hacia el Río Toribio.
Vegetación:
La reserva está constituida por bosques en diferentes estados sucesionales, así como bosques en su mayoría intactos. La vegetación es típicamente de bosques húmedos subtropicales ribereños en la parte baja, hacia la Cuenca del Río Gaira, con dominancia de especies de Ficus, Guarea, Poulsenia, Myrsine, Vismia. Trichospermum y Licania en el arbolado; bosques subandinos con árboles característicos de Ficus spp., Chrysophyllum sp, Sloanea sp., y un alto epifitismo, hacia la parte media, y vegetación típica de filos en la parte alta representada por elementos altoandinos como Paragynoxys, Escallonia, Hesperomeles, Ceroxylon y Brunellia. Desde los 2.300 m de elevación hacia arriba es notable la abundancia y dominancia del bambú Chusquea scandens.
Biodiversidad:
Una de las características más importantes tanto de la fauna como de la flora de la reserva es la presencia de un elevado número de especies endémicas o con algún grado de amenaza de extinción. Allí podemos avistar al Periquito de Santa Marta (Pyrrhura viridicata), al Atrapamoscas de Santa Marta (Myiotheretes pernix), a la Guacamaya Verde (Ara militaris), al Arañero de Santa Marta (Basileuterus basilicus), al Chamicero Serrano (Synallaxis fuscorufa), al Tororoi de Santa Marta (Grallaria bangsi) y al Arañero Embridado (Basileuterus conspicillatus), entre otros.
Especies importantes para la conservación:
En otros grupos biológicos podemos encontrar la Salvia de San Lorenzo (Salvia libanensis), el paraguas (Gunnera tayrona) y los pinos nativos (Podocarpus oleifolius y Prumnopitys montana); entre los mamíferos el mico de noche (Aotus griseimembra) y el puma (Puma concolor) y 14 especies de ranas endémicas de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta entre las que destacan dos especies del género Atelopus, Colostethus ruthveni y Cryptobatrachus boulengeri.

Sierra Nevada, Colombia, Walking Among Birds
Within this series of nature documentaries in Colombia we will be visiting the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. This is a unique natural ecosystem, located on the Atlantic coast where in one single territory, we can find all the climatic zones of Colombia.
Walking Among Birds is an ongoing project where I will be visiting with my cameras the different regions of Colombia.
THE BIRDERS | A Melodic Journey through Northern Colombia
The Birders, a documentary film on Colombian bird diversity and birdwatching presented by ProColombia, with support of FONTUR and directed by Gregg Bleakney.
The film highlights Colombian local birdwatching guide, Diego Calderon-Franco and National Geographic photographer / videographer Keith Ladzinski as they travel through one of the most diverse bird regions in the world to capture new and rare birds that have never been filmed before.
The Birders, also takes people through the Colombian landscape, highlighting several of its’ top locations, culture, birds and music. As well as; Los Flamencos Fauna and Flora Sanctuary, in the Guajira Peninsula. El Dorado Bird Reserve, in the Santa Marta Mountains. Minca and surroundings, in the Santa Marta Mountains. Tayrona National Natural Park and El Chamicero del Perija Bird Reserve, in the Perija Mountains.
The films aims to change the perception of Colombia through showcasing the diversity of birds who live there.
“Birdwatching in Colombia is a real adventure. These guides and biologists are always finding new things”, says director Gregg Bleakney. Diego Calderón agrees, “Being a bird guide in Colombia is absolutely crazy, we are basically living the Victorian times of exploration.
You can choose a remote corner of the country and almost for sure you are going to find surprises: new species, new subspecies, new range extensions. Colombia is a box of surprises!”
Along with the unique birds and exquisite landscape, The Birders incorporates an original score from local musicians inspired by the bird songs found in the film.
Mucho Indio - Teto Ocampo
Teto Ocampo has spent the past 10 years learning to play the Arhuaco people’s ancestral songs. Though his band, Mucho Indio, Teto takes listeners on a cosmic journey through space and time by translating Colombia’s most ancestral melody, the song of the hummingbird, to a modern format. He composed the melody with a rare charu flute, an instrument that only a handful of people on planet have the knowledge to play.
Song name: Kumuchikayu
Sidestepper English musician Richard Blair is most well known as the founding member of Sidestepper, a pioneering Colombian band that has paved the way for a modern generation of Colombian artists who have successfully gone global through mixing local and foreign musical concepts.
Richard’s meditative song was inspired by “mixed migrant flocks, a phenomenon where foreign birds migrate to Colombia’s Caribbean region to live, travel and sing with local groups of birds.
Song name: To Close Your Eyes
Ghetto Kumbé Together with the team of the documentary, Edgardo Garcés travelled to his birthplace of La Guajira to record the song of the Vermilion Cardinal. Edgardo tattooed the bird on his arm to ground himself after the death of his parents. He had never seen the bird in the wild before. The story of this eye-catching bird’s connection to indigenous Wayúu culture is the inspiration for this modern Afro-Colombian electronic song.
Song name: Soy Guajira
Frente Cumbiero Using Colombian Cumbia as its base, Mario Galeano and his band Frente Cumbiero composed a modern take on the classic USA surf songs of the 1960s, but with a birder’s soul. The song draws inspiration from the endemic Santa Marta Parakeet. These social birds
live in flocks on a massive ridgeline overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Magdalena River Valley, the birthplace of Cumbia music.
Song name: Parakeet Ridge
El Leopardo With his band El Leopardo, Daniel Broderick (aka Dani Boom) composed a thumping electronic club song that mirrors the Manakin bird’s slow build-up to a frenetic courtship display. The mechanical clapping sound of the White-bearded Manakin’s wings, recorded by the documentary team in Tayrona National Park, is the foundation of Dani’s composition. The courtship call of the Lance-tailed Manakin provided a secondary melody.
Song name: Manakin Boom

El punto culminante de esta caminata es la magnífica vista de los dos picos más altos de Colombia, el pico Cristóbal Colón y el pico Bolívar, como se ve desde el Hostal donde Moncho y el Cerro Kennedy.
Cinq jours passés dans la magnifique région de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta en janvier 2019. J'y ai fait un trek de cinq jours à partir du pueblo de Minca jusqu'au Cerro Kennedy (65 km aller-retour). En chemin, j'ai séjourné au superbe Loma Nevada Minca Hostel, au rustique Hostal donde Moncho et le dernier jour au Hostal Alto de la Montaña. Le point culminant de ce trek est la superbe vue sur les deux pics enneigés les plus élevés de la Colombie, soit le Pic Cristóbal Colón et le Pic Bolivar, vue qu'on peut observer de l'Hostal donde Moncho et du pic Cerro Kennedy.

Periquito de santa marta / Santa Marta Parakeet en El Dorado Nature Reserve
Colombia - Private protected areas for rare birds | Global 3000
The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a mountain range on the Colombian Caribbean coast, is a natural treasure trove. There is scarcely a larger concentration of rare plant and animal species in the world.
337 different kinds of birds alone can be found in the cloud forests of the mountains. The conservationists from the ProAves Foundation have established a large private bird reserve about 1000 hectares in area. Their special focus is preserving the Santa Marta parakeet, which is threatened with extinction. With reforestation, artificial nest boxes and educating the local population, the bird-lovers have already achieved their first success. For more go to
