Abstract
In the eastern Andes of Colombia, large areas of oak forests have been replaced by crops or livestock. Some private owners have decided to turn their properties into private nature reserves after seeing the consequences after deforestation events. One of these areas is Rogitama Biodiversity located in the municipality of Arcabuco (Boyacá), which is in the process of ecological rehabilitation. We study the composition of mammals as an indicator of the state of the reserve after 40 years of rehabilitation processes. We found 22 species, mostly bats and rodents. These results reflect values of wealth similar to those of other less intervened localities of the Eastern Cordillera and suggest progress in the recovery of ecosystem functionality in Rogitama. We consider that Rogitama is an example of plant recovery that has Keywords: Biological survey, private natural preserves, Quercus humboldtii, ecological restoration, the Andes
