Introduction

Pilon Lajas Biosphere Reserve and Communal Lands (Reserva de la Biosfera –Tierra Comunitaria de Orıgen Pilon Lajas in Spanish, hereafter referred to as PilonLajas) covers c. 400,000 ha on the Andean foothills in north-west Bolivia (Figure1). It is located in the Bolivian and Peruvian lower yungas Endemic Bird Area(EBA 054) of Stattersfield et al. (1998) and within one of the regions of highestconservation priority in the Neotropics (Stotz et al. 1996). Initially proposed in1974, Pilon Lajas was recognized as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1977 andas a Biosphere Reserve and Indigenous Territory by the Bolivian Government in1992 (Sherholtz 1997). The area was legally designated but had no physical pro-tection until 1994, when Veterinarians Without Frontiers (VSF) received fundingfrom the European Union to design an operational plan for the reserve. Throughan agreement with the Bolivian National Protected Areas Service, VSF has beenco-administering Pilon Lajas since 1996.

Pilon Lajas is in an area with a moderate level of historic and current humanactivity and settlement. A population of approximately 600 Chiman, Moseten

and Tacana indigenous people live within the reserve. The Beni River, the west-ern border of Pilon Lajas (Figure 1), was the principal ‘‘highway’’ between theAndes and the rubber/brazil nut forests to the north for a century until a newroad was completed in 1989. This new road, forming Pilon Lajas’ eastern borderand connecting the area to the city of La Paz, was used for a government-sponsored colonization programme of families from other parts of the country.Many of these colonists believe they have a right to land within Pilon Lajas.Although parts of the reserve are extremely remote, requiring expeditions ofseveral days to be reached, other parts have long been accessible. It is estimatedthat only 1% of Pilon Lajas has been deforested for agriculture in the last century,but perhaps 80% of the lower tropical forest has been heavily hunted during thealligator hide and wildlife skin boom in the 1960s and 1970s. Between 1980 and1996, the mahogany lumber boom heavily affected the same area, particularlywithin 10 km of rivers and large streams. Up until 1996, five lumber companieswith dubious legal status and approximately 300 chain sawyers selectivelylogged and hunted in the reserve.

The Pilon Lajas management plan has subdivided the reserve into specificzones to combine indigenous community rights with conservation initiatives.Since 1996, a core of 20 park guards (many belonging to local indigenous groups)has been hired and trained and four park guard stations have been establishedin highly sensitive areas along borders to protect the reserve.

The aim of this paper is to bring together unpublished avifaunal informationinto an extensive document that can be used for informed conservation decisionmaking and land protection priority assessments. This is important for the pro-tection and global attention of Pilon Lajas and the general Andean protected areacorridor of Madidi and Bahuaja Sonene National Parks.

Methods

This paper is based on 22 unpublished ornithological surveys by 15 researchersover 148 days between 1989 and 1999 (Table 1, Appendix 1) in Pilon Lajas. Theprincipal survey methods were non-systematic visual and acoustic observationsas well as tape recordings of vocalisations. Limited mist-netting was carried outby the first author (ABH) in Serranıa Cuchilla in 1999 and by F. Osorio andothers (Coleccion Boliviana de Fauna, La Paz; Appendix 1). A small number ofspecimens were collected by F. Osorio and others and deposited at the ColeccionBoliviana de Fauna.

Altitude ranges and abundance estimates are based on survey results by ABH.ABH surveyed different points at least 200 m apart, arriving before sunrise andidentifying and sound-recording vocalizations of the dawn chorus. Thereafter,different trails were surveyed, covering 1–3 km, often pausing work between12h00 and 15h00. ABH observed, sound-recorded and verified identificationswith the use of prerecorded tapes or playback, including rebound playback(broadcasting the first response to playback). Each evening ABH completed achecklist of the day’s observations, noting estimated abundances, field time, dis-tance walked and evidence (sight records, heard or tape-recorded). Abundanceestimates were classified as; common, recorded (visual observation or auditory)daily in small numbers (> 5); fairly common, recorded daily in small numbers(< 5); uncommon, recorded once in three days; and rare, recorded once duringthe survey. Tape-recording bird vocalizations is the most effective method forrapidly surveying neotropical forest avifaunas (Parker 1991; see also Haselmayerand Quinn 2000) and is an accurate means of species identification that can beeasily referenced. Over 400 recordings by ABH from Pilon Lajas have been arch-ived at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, Macaulay Library of NaturalSounds (MLNS). Fieldwork covered all months except for January, March andMay, and included all habitat types within Pilon Lajas and as much area aspossible with the largest gap between sites being 15 km. For the purpose ofvegetation classification, we used the elevational belts of Stotz et al. (1996): lower

tropical forest (< 500 m), hill tropical forest (500–900 m) and upper tropical forest(900–1,600 m). This was modified as necessary by reference to topographical loca-tion (level areas, slopes, ridges, etc.), geological substrate and state of vegetationsuccession. It should be noted that Parker (1989) erroneously gave 1,200 m as thehighest altitude of the road crossing Serranıa Pilon south of Yucumo (Figure 1).Rather, as indicated by Parker et al. (1991) and as confirmed by our measure-ments, the highest point of this road is located at c. 1,000 m.

Study Area

Pilon Lajas is situated at 14°26′ to 15°28′S and 68°42′ to 68°02′W in Beni and La Pazdepartments with an altitudinal range from 300 m to 1,400 m, although there prob-ably are a few peaks up to 1,600 m (detailed topographical maps of the area areunavailable). These mountain ranges are relatively isolated from themain Andeanridges. The nearest range of similar altitude is about 35 km to the south-west andthe closest peaks above 1,400 m are about 75 km to the south of Pilon Lajas.

The vegetation of Pilon Lajas is quite varied, changing in relation to humidity,elevation and geological substrate. At Rurrenabaque (14°26′S 68°31′W, 227 m),just north of Pilon Lajas (Figure 1), mean annual precipitation is 2,150 mm witha marked peak from November to April and a mean annual temperature of25.8 °C. The natural vegetation in about 38% of the reserve corresponds to ever-green tropical lowland forest. Higher elevations in Pilon Lajas, particularly thoseexposed to incoming clouds from the north-east, are somewhat cooler, receiveconsiderably more precipitation and, above c. 1,000 m, are frequently shroudedin mist. Here, forests are covered in epiphytic mosses, liverworts, ferns, brome-liads and orchids, and trees are often stunted.

Geologically, the area consists mainly of schists, loams and white sandstonesof Tertiary age. Flat valley bottoms with mixed alluvial, nutrient-rich soils andgood water supply are periodically flooded in the rainy season and support 30–40 m tall forest with abundant palms (e.g. Iriartea deltoidea, Socratea exorrhiza), figsand leguminaceous trees. Gentle to fairly steep slopes are covered with forest ofsomewhat lower stature with up to 150 tree species and about 200 species ofvascular epiphytes per ha (Seidel 1995, Smith and Killeen 1998, T. Kromer pers.com.). Above about 1,000 m the tree flora is dominated by the families Lauraceae,Leguminosae and Melastomataceae. Locally, there are dense stands of mahoganySwietenia macrophylla, many of which have been exploited in the last decades.Areas with white sand soils are very poor in nutrients and support a distinctand quite species-rich flora (Kessler 2001). Steep slopes, particularly at higherelevations, are characterized by unstable soils and frequent landslides and thusoften support vegetation in different stages of succession, ranging from low,dense thickets to young, 10–15 m tall forest with many slender trees. The highestridges often have shallow, leached soils and stunted, species-poor forest.

The overall picture emerging from the above combination of ecological factorsis a striking heterogeneity of the vegetation that is conspicuous in the field(particularly from the air) and that forms the basis for the high biological speciesrichness of the area. Botanically, individual vegetation types are of about averagediversity compared with other Neotropical areas, but the high number of distinctvegetation types leads to an exceedingly diverse overall flora that contains

numerous elements not known elsewhere in the Bolivian Andes (Smith and Kil-leen 1998, Kessler 2001).

Results

Currently, 502 bird species are known from Pilon Lajas (Appendix 2), more thanone third of the 1,398 species reported in Bolivia (Hennessey et al. 2003). Webelieve that this includes at least 90% of the resident bird species in the reserve.Whereas 309 species (62%) were recorded in the approximately 150,000 ha oflower tropical forest in Pilon Lajas, only 79 species were exclusively found inthis zone. The lower tropical forest of Pilon Lajas appears quite species poor incomparison with other nearby lowland localities such as Alto Madidi,departamento (dpto.) La Paz, with 405 species (Parker and Bailey 1991) and the5,000 ha Tambopata-Candamo Reserved Zone, Peru, with 572 species (Parker etal. 1994). This relatively low diversity may well be a result of the geographicalposition of Pilon Lajas on the southern edge of the Amazon basin where tropicallowland forest is limited to a narrow, 10–30 km wide belt along the Andeanfoothills.

Serranıa Pilon is the most intensively studied and species-rich range withinPilon Lajas with 332 species, 48 of which have only been recorded in this area.Abundances of birds appear to be higher on Serranıa Pilon than on comparablenearby ranges. Daily mixed-species flock encounters on serranıas Bala and Cuch-illa (Figure 1) as well as on Serranıa Sadiri in Bolivia’s Madidi National Park(ABH pers. obs.) ranged between one and three per day, whereas encounter rateson Serranıa Pilon were between three and five per day. This is probably due toa higher level of precipitation in the area and the unusual topography of SerranıaPilon with several peaks, opposed to a typical single-peaked range, creating morehabitat area between 600 m and 900 m.

Upper tropical forest exists in Pilon Lajas only on serranıas Bue, Chepete andMuchanes. All surveys in this habitat were restricted to Serranıa Beu, where 246bird species have been recorded, 46 of which were only found in upper tropicalforest. Serranıa Beu is the only area in Pilon Lajas with large patches of bambooforest between 1,200 to 1,400 m; they cover an area of approximately 300 ha.

With respect to Arribas et al. (1995) and Remsen and Traylor (1989), the PilonLajas bird list includes 26 new records for dpto. Beni and three for dpto. La Paz(Appendix 2). However, these new records by no means represent true rangeextensions for the respective species. Bolivian departments are formed by arbit-rary political borders that have little or no value in a habitat or conservationcontext. For example, about 85% of the area of the department of Beni is coveredby pampas (savannah grasslands) whereas less than 1% contains hill tropicalforest, from where most of our new records originated.

Pilon Lajas is located approximately 25 km south of a large expanse of pampas,and its northern and eastern border is formed by a main road. Through the years,the area has seen the establishment of pampas bird species as colonists havecleared forest. In Rurrenabaque, each year more open-country species areobserved as the 30 km wide forest corridor between the town and the truepampas is being settled and destroyed. With continued forest clearing activitiesan increasing number of open-country species and austral migrants can be

expected in open areas of Pilon Lajas with many of the former probably becom-ing resident along the edge of the reserve.

The majority of birds in Pilon Lajas increase their territorial singing in Sep-tember/October. The full onset of the breeding season is linked with the begin-ning of the rainy season in November. During the rainy season there is a markedincrease in insect abundance and more trees bear fruit. Local hunters claim thatlarge mammals have more fat from February to April. We found reproductiveevidence for 42 species (Appendix 2). Nest-building activity was observedbetween late July and mid-November (18 species), nesting activity (egg andhatchling stages) from mid-September to early November (nine species) andrecent fledglings (15 species) between early October and mid-February (with twoexceptions in mid-July).

Mixed-species flocks

ABH observed 45 mixed-species foraging flocks containing a total of 102 speciesin hill tropical forest (500–900 m). In the tropical lowlands, foraging flocks areoften strictly separated into canopy and understorey flocks (e.g. Munn 1985, Jul-lien and Thiollay 1998). Due to the variable nature of hill tropical forest withsteep slopes, landslides, cliffs, forest edges, stunted forest and tall forest, flockformations in Pilon Lajas were loosely categorized into three types: omnivoroustanager flocks, mid-canopy and understorey insectivorous mixed-species flocks.

The tanager canopy flocks were fast-moving, omnivorous flocks of the uppercanopy based around Tangara species with Paradise Tanager Tangara chilensis asthe nuclear species and Green-and-gold Tanager T. schrankii, Turquoise TanagerT. mexicana and Blue Dacnis Dacnis cayana as other characteristic species. Mid-canopy insectivorous flocks ranged from c. 5 m above ground to well inside thehighest canopy. These flocks were slower moving and sometimes large (c. 40individuals) with most species foraging for insects. Characteristic species wereSlate-throated Redstart Myioborus miniatus, Black-spotted Barbet Capito niger,Masked Tityra Tityra semifasciata, Guira Tanager Hemithraupis guira, Bronze-greenEuphonia Euphonia mesochrysa, Bay-headed Tanager Tangara gyrola and TropicalParula Parula pitiayumi. The nuclear species of understorey insectivorous flockswas Red-crowned Ant Tanager Habia rubica, with Buff-throated Foliage GleanerAutomolus ochrolaemus, Carmiol’s Tanager Chlorothraupis carmioli, Chestnut-tailedAntbird Myrmeciza hemimelaena, McConnell’s Flycatcher Mionectes macconnelliand Tawny-crowned Greenlet Hylophilus ochraceiceps as other characteristic spe-cies.

However, the majority of species in these flocks in hill tropical forest were notexclusive or even particular to any of the three flock types. This strongly contrastswith the rigidly organized flocks of Amazonian lowlands (Munn 1985, Jullienand Thiollay 1998) and supports the notion that conclusions on mixed-speciesflock structure and organization drawn from Neotropical lowland forests cannotbe generalized to all tropical forests (Jullien and Thiollay 1998, Herzog et al.submitted MS).

Species Accounts

Orinoco Goose Neochen jubataThis Near Threatened species has been observed only once in Pilon Lajas at an

Avifauna of the Pilon Lajas Biosphere Reserve 325

unknown date in 1994 by F. Osorio and others, although indigenous people saythe bird is sporadically seen on Rio Quiquebey. If a population still exists inPilon Lajas, it will be in isolated regions away from hunters.

Harpy Eagle Harpia harpyja

This globally Near Threatened species has never been sighted in Pilon Lajas bytrained observers. However, the Chiman and Moseten indigenous people arefamiliar with the bird and call it Bonij, but they do not have a name for thesimilar Crested Eagle Morphnus guianensis. ABH was shown a photo of a shotHarpy Eagle taken by an unknown tourist on the shore of the Beni River within Pilon Lajas around 1970, proving that it did exist in the area, but the exactlocation of the dead bird was unclear. A Moseten elder reported that a family ofHarpy Eagles exists east of S. Beu and described the species accurately as he saidthey ate one bird five years ago while hunting for White-bellied Spider MonkeysAteles belzebuth. A Chiman hunter reported the location of a nest in Pilon Lajassouth-west of the mouth of the Suapi River. We believe that a handful of HarpyEagles still exists within Pilon Lajas, but that this population is threatened andrestricted to areas with low human impact.

Southern Horned Curassow Pauxi unicornis

Parker (1989) gave the following account of this globally Vulnerable species froma 1989 survey in Serranıa Pilon along the Caranavi-Yucumo road at the south-eastern border of Pilon Lajas: ‘‘A man who has lived for one year near the roadpass on the Serranıa del Pilon accurately described this species and was certainthat he had seen (eaten?) it in ridgetop forest several times. Called ‘‘mutum’’.’’This record would appear to be a communication error as the name mutun loc-ally refers to Razor-billed Curassow Mitu tuberosa.

None of the 22 expeditions in Pilon Lajas, including two to inaccessible, pris-tine and apparently suitable habitat for this species between serranıas Beu andChepete, has resulted in a single observation of this species. Likewise, numerousinterviews including a survey of local indigenous knowledge by ABH and A.Perry have failed to produce any indication that the species has ever occurred inthe reserve. We believe that Pauxi unicornis does not exist in Pilon Lajas.

Oilbird Steatornis caripensis

Oilbird is a gregarious species, breeding colonially in caves. A single cave canhold up to 1,000 individuals (Thomas 1999; Duguid in litt. 2000). Only eight cavesites are known in Bolivia (ABH pers. obs.). Oilbirds could be threatened byhabitat loss and scarcity of isolated breeding areas. On 4 November 1998, ABHand park guards observed 350 individuals leaving an inaccessible cave at 600 mon the edge of Serranıa Chepete, beside the Beni River, during sunset and foundfresh eggshells below the entrance to the cave.

Lanceolated Monklet Micromonacha lanceolata

One immature and two adults were observed for approximately 15 min on 9December 1995 by ABH and A. Perry in the subcanopy 8 m above ground at

A.B. Hennessey et al. 326

1,150 m on Serranıa Beu, dpto. La Paz. One adult fed a small unidentified insectto the immature and then perched 30 cm away while the second adult landedbeside the immature and gave it a katydid-like insect longer than its bill. Theimmature clasped the insect in its bill for approximately 2 min before swallowingit. The immature’s breast had less clearly defined black streaks and greyer mot-tling than both adults. These birds were observed on a steep forested slope withmany successional stages from frequent landslides to dense forest patches withyoung trees. Another individual was observed in Pilon Lajas by A. Perry and R.Mitchell (pers. comm.) on the eastern edge of Serranıa Beu at 1,000 m on 3December 1996. These are the second and third observation of Lanceolated Mon-klet in Bolivia (Arribas et al. 1995). The first record was obtained by S. Cardiffand J.V. Remsen (in litt. 1998) at Cerro Asunta Pata (15°03′S 68°28′W), dpto. LaPaz, in 1993. The species was also observed in Carrasco National Park, dpto.Cochabamba, in July 1998 by A. Mee (in litt. 1998).

Scaled Fruiteater Ampelioides tschudii

Two birds, possibly a pair were noted repeatedly on Serranıa Cuchilla, dpto.Beni, at 900 m in 1998 and 1999, especially by voice (MLNS 101799, 101819,101874, 101877; Mayer 2000). On 17 November 1999 a male was observed byABH and M. Olivera feeding an immature an orange fruit of approximately 2.5cm in diameter and regurgitated half bill-sized black fruits. Previously known inBolivia only from Serranıa Bellavista (38 km N Caranavi), dpto. La Paz (Parkeret al. 1980), and Rıo Tuichi Valley, dpto. La Paz (Perry et al. 1997). ABH alsorecorded calls of one individual (MLNS 101845) at 900 m on Serranıa Sadiri(14°13′S 67°56′W) in Madidi National Park on 30 November 1999.

Subtropical Pygmy Owl Glacidium parkeri

C. Konig identified the first record of this species for Bolivia through recordingsmade by T.A. Parker during a 1979 expedition by the Museum of Natural Sci-ence, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, to Serranıa Bellavista, dpto. LaPaz (T.S. Schulenburg pers. comm.). B.M. Whitney (in litt. 2001) obtained thesecond record for Bolivia on Serranıa Eslabon in Madidi National Park in August1995 and the third in Pilon Lajas on Serranıa Pilon at 700 m on 9 August 1997.Subsequently the species was recorded by ABH (MLNS 101656, 101689) severaltimes on both the western (1,300 m) and eastern (1,200 m) slope of Serranıa Beuand once at 750 m on Serranıa Tequeje, Madidi National Park, on 6 April 2000.

Bolivian Recurvebill Simoxenops striatus

Until recently, this globally Vulnerable species was known from only three Boliv-ian localities (Parker et al. 1992), and Parker et al. (1996) considered it a highconservation and research priority. ABH observed and recorded several indi-viduals on Serranıa Beu at 800 m to 1,250 m from 17 to 24 September 1998 (MLNS101637) and on Serranıa Cuchilla at 800 m between 16 and 19 October 1998(MLNS 101778; Mayer 2000), which represent two new localities for the speciesin Bolivia. Additionally, it has been found at three other new sites in dptos. La

Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz by SKH and MK in 1996 and 1997. Furtherdetails will be published elsewhere.

Yungas Antwren Myrmotherula grisea

A single female-plumaged bird of this globally Vulnerable Bolivian endemic wasseen by SKH in an understorey mixed-species flock at c. 850 m on Serranıa Pilonon 4 August 1997, which represents the only record for Pilon Lajas. The bird wascharacterized by unmarked wing-coverts and warm olivish-brown upperpartswith a slight rufous tinge on wings and tail (in contrast to the all-grey upperpartsof the female Grey Antwren M. menetriesii) and it resembled a female YungasAntwren seen and tape-recorded by SKH together with a male (both singing) inAmboro National Park (dpto. Santa Cruz). Despite the presence of apparentlysuitable habitat within the species’s elevational range, Yungas Antwren appearsto be rare in Pilon Lajas.

Phyllomyias sp.

This undescribed species was first observed and tape-recorded in June 1989 at850–900 m on Serranıa Pilon along the Caranavi–Yucumo road (Parker et al.1991), who tentatively identified the birds as Planalto Tyrannulets Phyllomyiasfasciatus. However, they noted that their vocalizations were faster and higherpitched than those of birds in south-east Brazil and north-east Argentina andconcluded that ‘‘the Serranıa Pilon population may represent an undescribedform’’. On 2 June 1997 SKH tape-recorded three unidentified Phyllomyias tyran-nulets in the canopy of humid forest edge at 1,150 m at Cerro Asunta Pata, dpto.La Paz (15°03′S 68°28′W), and this recording was later identified with the helpof B.M. Whitney as belonging to the same undescribed Phyllomyias taxon asrecorded by Parker and Gell-Mann on Serranıa Pilon (see Mayer 2000). On 3September 1998, SKH and J.A. Balderrama collected two specimens at CerroAsunta Pata and rediscovered the Serranıa Pilon population at 850–1,000 m alongthe Caranavi–Yucumo road on 8 October 1998. Several tape-recordings from bothlocalities show that the vocal differences noted by Parker et al. (1991) betweenAndean and south-east Brazilian populations are both consistent and significant(recordings of P. fasciatus from south-east Brazil provided by J. Mazar Barnett). Aformal description of the species is currently in preparation (Herzog unpublisheddata).

It is noteworthy that despite the presence of apparently suitable hill tropicalforest habitat on Serranıas Beu, Cuchilla and Pilon the species has so far onlybeen found at a single locality in Pilon Lajas, indicating that it may have a natur-ally patchy distribution and a small range.

This globally Vulnerable species was observed by ABH on 22 September 1999 15m above the ground on the northern side of Serranıa Beu in steep-sloped hilltropical forest (850 m). This is only the second observation for Bolivia of thispoorly known species (Hennessey et al. 2003).

A.B. Hennessey et al. 328

Scarlet Tanager Piranga olivacea

This Nearctic-Neotropical migrant has suffered population declines attributedto habitat loss in its wintering range (McNair and Escobar 1993). However, itsnon-breeding distribution in South America is poorly known (Parker et al. 1996).ABH observed this species on Serranıa Pilon in November 1996 and February1997 and 1998, on Serranıa Cuchilla in November 1999, and on Serranıa Sadiriin Madidi National Park in November 1999. Wintering males were identified bytheir contrasting black wings in November, and by the splotchy breeding plum-age in February. The identification of females was assumed through their pres-ence with Scarlet Tanager males, which in February consisted of associatinggroups of 5–8 individuals. The species was fairly common in all years and areas.For example, on a total of seven days on Serranıa Pilon during the months statedabove, ABH daily observed between two and seven individuals in non-breedingplumage in mid-canopy foraging flocks of hill tropical forest (600–900 m). Webelieve these records from serranıas Pilon, Cuchilla and Sadiri indicate that aconsiderable portion of the species’ population winters along the humid foothillsof the Bolivian Andes. This habitat is still largely unaltered in Bolivia; hence, adecline due to habitat loss is probably largely caused by the alteration of habitatin the breeding range or along the migration route of Scarlet Tanager.

Buff-rumped Warber Basileuterus fulvicauda

J. Ohlson (pers comm.) observed several individuals on Serranıa Bala from 25 to28 April 1999 and recorded one (Mayer 2000). Observations and recordings(MLNS 87814 and 101816) by ABH and SKH on serranıas Pilon and Cuchillahave exclusively been of the similar River Warbler Basileuterus rivularis. The songof both species is difficult to differentiate. Thus, both species occur within atmost 30 km of each other in Pilon Lajas, but the actual contact zone as well asthe degree of sympatry and hybridization (if any) remain to be determined.

Discussion

Recorded from Pilon Lajas are four species of Bolivian endemics, eight species ofrange-restricted endemics (Stattersfield et al. 1998), 28 zoogeographical regionalendemics (Stotz et al. 1996), three Vulnerable and three Near Threatened species(BirdLife International 2000), and four High Conservation Priority and 32Medium Conservation Priority species (Parker et al. 1996) (Appendix 2, Table 2).Of the High and Medium Conservation Priority species, eight have their centreof abundance in lower tropical (< 500 m), nine in hill tropical (500–900 m), 17 inupper tropical (900–1,600 m) and two in middle tropical (1,600–2,600 m) forest.All High Conservation Priority species in Pilon Lajas appear to be rare, with onlyone record per species, except for Simoxenops striatus. These apparently extremelylow population densities imply that optimal conditions for these species may notbe met in Pilon Lajas despite the presence of apparently suitable habitat and thatthe reserve alone cannot warrant their effective conservation in Bolivia.

Pilon Lajas protects a healthy part of the Bolivian and Peruvian lower YungasEBA (054) (Stattersfield et al. 1998). Eight range-restricted species have been

recorded of a potential 13 species found in Bolivia. The range-restricted endem-ism of Serranıa Beu demonstrated the area to be a potential Important Bird Area.Serranıa Beu and the surrounding area are sufficiently difficult to access throughclimbing, long hikes and the lack of road access, that the areas may be easilyprotected from habitat destruction through local population pressure.

Serranıa Pilon is an important area in Pilon Lajas to protect foothill-specializedspecies. The foothill forest, though not considered specialization enough todeserve EBA status, is a unique ecosystem that deserves conservation attention.Through high levels of precipitation and the mix between lowland and Yungasspecies, these areas tend to be the richest sites of avian diversity on the planet.With no avifaunal data from Serranıa del Tigre (13°38′S 68°40′W), mostly outsidethe Madidi National Park border, Serranıa Pilon is the richest area of foothillforest in Bolivia. The site, with a main road travelling through the area, alsocontains ecotourism-sustainable development possibilities.

Pilon Lajas has common borders with Madidi National Park to the north-westand with the Moseten Indigenous Area, which applies sustainable forestry prac-tices, to the south. However, the north- and south-eastern borders of Pilon Lajasare adjacent to major roads that have enabled human settlement on the parkboundaries, posing a serious future threat to the reserve. Pilon Lajas is trying tocounteract this encroachment with two park guard stations along both roadsand the implementation of public education programmes. Recently a sustainableecotourism project has been designed with a local indigenous group at the mouthof Rio Quiquebey.

Together with Madidi National Park and the directly adjacent Bahuaja Sonene

Avifauna of the Pilon Lajas Biosphere Reserve 331

National Park in south-eastern Peru, Pilon Lajas forms part of a unique protectedarea system of more than 3.5 million ha. It further represents a vital link towardsfoothill and montane forest areas further south and plays an important role in theestablishment of biological corridors along the eastern Andean slope in Bolivia.
