Urban areas, despite anthropogenic activity, are home to a high richness of resident and migratory bird species. The objective of this study was to manage the avifauna associated with the green spaces of the Quevedo State Technical University. To describe the composition and abundance of birds associated with university campuses of La Central, La Maria and La Represa the point count method was used (25 points) in the dry and rainy season of 2022-2023, located in different land uses (forests, forest plantations, ponds, crops, urban). A comparative analysis was made between community attributes such as observed richness, expected richness, diversity, proportional abundance, and composition of the avifauna recorded at each site, with different anthropogenic incidences. In addition, a management proposal was designed to improve environmental awareness and thus prevent, reduce and mitigate the negative impacts produced by the different human activities on the avifauna in the study area. A total of 60 species of birds were recorded with a total of 2003 individuals, where 43 species are residents and 17 are migratory, 38 species of restricted distribution, 22 of wide distribution, 48 specialists and 12 generalists. The order and family most represented were Passeriformes with 32 species and Tyrannidae with 10 species. Therefore, the conservation of urban green areas and natural forests is suggested because they are home to a large number of species and provide environmental benefits and are crucial for the conservation of biodiversity. Key words: anthropogenic activity, wild birds, conservation, urban fauna, environmental sustainability |
