About this book

Language: Spanish

Undoubtedly, one of the main global challenges facing humanity today is the conservation of biological diversity. Without it, the human species will not survive on this planet. For this reason, in the current context of increasing degradation of ecosystems and massive loss of species, urgent action is needed to help stem the erosion of biodiversity. But to really be effective, such measures must be based on accurate knowledge of reality: what species we have, how abundant they are, where the most important communities are, what problems threaten them, and with what priority these must be resolved. However, in the case of mammal communities that still exist in Spain, this basic and fundamental information has been, so far, largely non-existent.

In this work the 170 important areas for mammals that exist in Spain identified and described in detail for the first time, considering all species of land mammals in systematic fashion. These areas were objectively evaluated by more than one hundred experts applying a set of technical criteria. They must be protected and properly managed to ensure long-term survival of species and mammal communities that remain in Spain. To that end, an overall diagnosis of the conservation issues facing communities of mammals is included, also pointing to each particular area and the current threats which compromise their integrity and future viability.

In short, this catalog of important areas is an indispensable tool for monitoring, management and conservation of mammal species in Spain.

Summary in Spanish:
Sin duda, uno de los principales desafíos globales que afronta actualmente la humanidad es la conservación de la diversidad biológica. Sin ella, la especie humana no podrá sobrevivir en este planeta. Por esta razón, y en el actual contexto de degradación creciente de los ecosistemas y pérdida masiva de especies, es urgente la adopción de medidas que contribuyan a detener la erosión de la biodiversidad. Pero, para que realmente sean eficaces, dichas medidas deben estar basadas en un conocimiento preciso de la realidad: qué especies tenemos y cómo son de abundantes, dónde están las comunidades más relevantes, qué problemas les acechan, y con qué prioridad hay que resolverlos. Sin embargo, en el caso concreto de las comunidades de mamíferos que subsisten todavía en España, esta información básica y fundamental ha sido, hasta ahora, en gran medida inexistente.

En esta obra se identifican y se describen con detalle, por primera vez, considerando todas las especies de mamíferos terrestres y de forma sistemática, las 170 Zonas Importantes para los Mamíferos (ZIM) que existen en España. Estas son las áreas que, evaluadas objetivamente por más de un centenar de expertos aplicando un conjunto de criterios técnicos, deben ser protegidas y correctamente gestionadas, para garantizar la supervivencia a largo plazo de las especies y comunidades de mamíferos que quedan aún en nuestro país. Con ese objetivo, se ha realizado un diagnóstico global de los problemas de conservación que afrontan las comunidades de mamíferos, señalando también para cada ZIM en particular qué amenazas actuales comprometen su integridad y viabilidad futura.

En definitiva, el presente catálogo de ZIM es una herramienta indispensable para el seguimiento, gestión y conservación de las especies de mamíferos en España.
