Admissions and outcomes of wildlife in Centers for the Conservation and Research of Wildlife in Mexico during 2005-2020

In Mexico, Wildlife Conservation and Research Centres (CIVS) receive, rehabilitate, and rein-troduce into the wild wildlife rescued, seized, and confiscated by governmental institutions. However, there are few studies that evaluate their functioning and efficiency. The present study aimed to compare...

However, there are few studies that evaluate their functioning and efficiency. The present study aimed to compare wildlife admissions and outcomes, as well as the budget and staffing capacity of Mexico’s CIVS during the period 2005-2020. This study covered information provided by 4 centres and analysed data from 36 526 specimens’ admissions and 35 029 dis-charges. Admission to the CIVS occurred mostly due to seizures and confiscations, and the main reason for departure was referrals to other locations. Reptiles (n = 24 707) and birds (n = 6 828) were the most admitted taxonomic groups. The mortality rate of admitted fauna (41.5 %) exceeded the rate of release into the wild (11.5 %), with reptiles being the taxonomic group with the highest number of deaths (n = 8 011). The work carried out by the CIVS remains of great relevance for the primary management of the fauna that is rescued, seized, and confiscated, but the CIVS have few trained personnel and an ever-decreasing budget to deal with the increasing admissions of fauna. En México, los Centros para la Conservación e Investigación de la Vida Silvestre (CIVS) reciben, rehabilitan y reintroducen a la naturaleza fauna silvestre rescatada, asegurada y decomisada por las instituciones gubernamentales. Pero, existen pocos estudios que evalúen su funcionamiento y eficiencia. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo comparar los ingresos y egresos de la fauna silvestre, así como la capacidad de presupuesto y personal de los CIVS de México durante el periodo 2005-2020. El estudio abarcó la información proporciona-da por 4 centros y se analizaron los datos de 36 526 ejemplares ingresados y 35 029 egresados. El ingreso a los CIVS se dio en su mayoría por aseguramientos y decomisos, y el principal motivo de egreso por canalizaciones a otros lugares. Los reptiles (n = 24 707) y las aves (n = 6 828) fueron los grupos taxonómicos más recibidos. La tasa de mortalidad de la fauna que ingresó (41.5 %) superó a la de liberación de ejemplares en la naturaleza (11.5 %), con los reptiles como grupo taxonómico con el mayor número de muertes (n = 8 011). El trabajo que desarrollan los CIVS permanece como de gran relevancia para el manejo primario de la fauna que se recupera por diferentes acciones, pero cuentan con poco personal capacitado y cada vez menos presupuesto para atender los ingresos de fauna que va en aumento.
