Revisión sistemática de estrategias de conservación para el tapir amazónico (Tapirus terrestris) en Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: This systematic review analyzes different conservation strategies and their effectiveness in the case of the Amazonian tapir, Tapirus terrestris. Ecuador is a country in which the Amazonian tapir has been classified as an endangered species due to deforestation, poaching and habitat fragmentation, therefore, this species is an ideal element of study to analyze different proposals in terms of conservation with respect to the effectiveness of the latter, based on the use of secondary studies that have analyzed precisely the present object of study. The results will demonstrate that, although several programs and projects present notable advances, they have not been effective for total conservation over time due to lack of budget and public policies. It can be concluded that only through an analysis and implementation of comprehensive measures that involve ecological, educational and social actions can effective conservation of the Amazonian tapir be achieved in the long term in Ecuador.
