Abstract
We report the inventory of medium and large mammals for the National Reserve of the Civil Society Los Titíes de San Juan in the Bolívar department. A total of eight orders were registered, 18 families and 22 species, two of them are in danger of extinction Saguinus oedipus and Ateles fusciceps. We highlight the presence and most recent photographic record of Galictis vittata. We stands out the importance of establishing protected areas that provide connectivity with forest fragments and protection of endangered species.
