Noteworthy records and natural history comments about new, rare and endagered species of Santa Cruz province, Patagonia, Argentina (II)

Abstract

The province of Santa Cruz is the second largest of continental Argentina. Its large size, low human population density, and the inaccessibility to most part of its territory are the main reasons why its wildlife is still largely unknown. From 2009 to 2021 we carried out almost uninterrupted avian surveys within the framework of the Hooded Grebe Project/Patagonia Program, in a large area of the province encompassing different environments. During this 12-year period, we obtained novel information on the distribution and natural history of 27 species, eight of which are recorded for the first time for the province. Finally, we discuss the importance of conservation programs of charismatic species and environments as a tool to generate knowledge about biodiversity of different areas.
