Porroglossum parsonsii in the spotlight 605
FIG. 1 Locations of the 341 survey sites along the Eastern Cordillera in the Colombian Andes (white circles) and the two locations where we found Porroglossum parsonsii (black triangles): (a) Santuario de Fauna y Flora de Iguaque, and (b) Arcabuco. The radii in (a) and (b) indicate the buffers used to calculate per cent forest cover around the survey plot (100, 200, 300, 500, 800, 1,000, 1200, 1,500, 1,800, 2,000, 2,200 and 2,400 m).
would promote monitoring and conservation of the wild population. In addition, we recommend protection of the trail where the population is located, minimization of the ef- fects of tourism and mechanical damage, further surveys across Santuario de Fauna y Flora de Iguaque to detect any other occurrences of the species, and inclusion of adult plants in the protected area’s nursery.
