IPA assessment rationale
La Unidad de Conservación del Patrimonio Natural (UCPN) Río Grande Valles Cruceños alberga una importante diversidad de plantas nativas, muchas con gran valor socioeconómico y especies de plantas endémicas amenazadas a nivel global y nacional. Resguarda 76 especies de plantas amenazadas globalmente, de las cuales 65 son especies endémicas de Bolivia. También registra siete especies amenazadas a nivel nacional, entre especies nativas y endémicas. Este sitio concentra un total de 249 taxones endémicos, alcanzando el 9,4 % de la riqueza de endemismo del país. De estas plantas endémicas, 53 tienen un rango de distribución restringido. A este número excepcional de especies endémicas, se suman 873 especies de importancia socioeconómica, alcanzando más del 25 % del total de plantas útiles documentadas a nivel nacional, incluyendo a 34 especies parientes silvestres de plantas cultivadas, principalmente de los géneros Capsicum (ajíes), Nicotiana (tabaco) y Solanum (papa, tomate).
Site description
El área de conservación y sitio IPA Rio Grande Valles Cruceños se encuentra al suroeste del departamento de Santa Cruz e incluye las tres provincias Cordillera, Florida y Vallegrande. La mayor extensión del área se encuentra en la provincia Vallegrande, misma que actúa como límite departamental al noroeste, oeste y sur con los departamentos de Cochabamba y Chuquisaca respectivamente. Esta área de conservación fue creada con el principal objetivo de proteger al oso jucumari (Tremarctos ornatus) junto a los otros valores de conservación como los diferentes tipos de vegetación. Otros de los emblemáticos objetos de conservación es el ave paraba frente roja (Ara rubrogenys), endémica de la región de los bosques secos interandinos y la palma sunkha (Parajubaea sunkha), especie endémica. Dentro del área de conservación también se encuentran varios centros turísticos naturales, paisajísticos y culturales, entre ellos el Fuerte de Samaipata, La ruta del Ché Guevara, las cataratas o caídas de agua de Cuevas y de la Pajcha.
Botanical significance
La importancia botánica del área Río Grande Valles Cruceños es atribuida al número de especies amenazadas a nivel global, nacional, especies endémicas y de plantas útiles que crecen dentro de sus límites. Entre las especies amenazadas a nivel global están las especies endémicas Bougainvillea trollii (VU), Capsicum eshbaughii (EN), Eryngium beckii (EN), Hippeastrum evansiarum (VU), Hippeastrum incachacanum (EN), Ibatia elliptica (CR), Ipomoea paradae (EN), Ipomoea mendozae (EN), Luetzelburgia andina (VU) y Pitcairnia cantuoides (EN), siendo estas algunas de las 67 especies endémicas que crecen dentro de este sitio.
Este sitio tiene particularidades adicionales, albergando poblaciones de especies restringidas al sitio o restringidas a ciertos hábitats. Ipomoea prolifera (CR) es una de ellas, planta restringida a este sitio y restringida a los bosques secos interandinos de la zona Pampa Negra, al noroeste del sitio. Bonamia riograndina (EN) y Funastrum rupicola (NT) son especies que crecen en los valles cerca del río Grande, en la zona del Puente Santa Rosa, todas especies de ambientes xéricos. Mientras que Begonia germaineana, planta únicamente conocida de este sitio, crece en el Bosque Tucumano-Boliviano. A este número de especies, se suman otras 873 de plantas útiles, donde destacan Bougainvillea berberidifolia (NT), Capsicum caballeroi (VU) y Gochnatia boliviana (VU), siendo especies endémicas y de importancia socioeconómica, que a su vez se encuentran amenazadas a nivel global. Entre estas especies también se destaca la palma sunkha Parajubaea sunkha (EN), una planta endémica y restringida, utilizada localmente, desde sus fibras para la elaboración de colchones, sus hojas para fabricar sombreros, cestas y abanicos, hasta sus frutos que son un forraje local para el ganado (Vargas 1994, Enssle 2006).
Habitat and geology
El sitio IPA Río Grande Valles Cruceños forma parte de la provincia fisiográfica del Subandino, Cordillera Oriental y Llanura aluvial, principalmente hacia el sur. Se encuentra conformada mayormente por serranías con una orientación de norte a sur y con algunos picos más altos como los de Alto Veladero y Salsipuedes Grande provincia Vallegrande. Hacia el lado occidental se ha registrado altitudes de hasta 3.000 m.s.n.m, llegando a descender en la parte oriental hasta los 427 m.s.n.m, convirtiéndose en una llanura aluvial (Maillard et al. 2019, Parada et al. 2022). La región tiene una época húmeda entre los meses de octubre a marzo y una época seca entre los meses de abril a septiembre. Dada su ubicación, las variaciones topográficas y climáticas hacen que en el área confluyan las ecorregiones de Bosque Tucumano-Boliviano, Bosques Secos Interandinos, Chaco Serrano, Gran Chaco y Yungas (Ibisch et al. 2003). Parada y colaboradores (2022) describen en detalle la vegetación de la provincia de Vallegrande; Villaroel y colaboradores (2009) la vegetación de la provincia Florida; y Maillard y colaboradores (2019) la vegetación de la provincia Cordillera. De acuerdo con la clasificación de vegetación y los Sistemas ecológicos de Bolivia (Navarro & Ferreira 2011, Navarro 2011) y la agrupación realizada según la UICN, en este sitio los principales hábitats y/o tipos de vegetación presentes se agrupan en Bosque seco subtropical/tropical y en Bosque húmedo montano subtropical/tropical.
Conservation issues
La UCPN Río Grande Valles Cruceños es un área de conservación de administración departamental, incluye diferentes municipios. Su principal actividad socioeconómica es la agricultura y la ganadería en diferentes escalas. De acuerdo con sus características, esta área protegida tiene como principal amenaza la deforestación, al igual que el resto del departamento de Santa Cruz. Otro aspecto relevante o de incertidumbre, dadas las condiciones de su terreno, es la construcción de la represa hidroeléctrica. Al sur de la provincia Vallegrande, existe un proyecto hidroeléctrico denominado Rositas, el mismo que no ha sido activado debido a la resistencia y rechazo de muchos pueblos indígenas guaraníes y comunidades que se encuentran dentro del área de conservación y municipios aledaños. La ejecución del proyecto hidroeléctrico Rositas significa la afectación de 500 especies de fauna, más de 2.400 especies de flora y hábitats naturales, tanto del área como de otras aledañas (Cabrera 2022). Este sitio IPA posee un alto valor botánico; su diversidad vegetal, heterogeneidad, variaciones topográficas y climáticas, su ubicación e integración sociocultural lo sitúan como un área de suma importancia, por la cual se debe ahondar en esfuerzos de conservación de la notable diversidad vegetal existente y nueva por descubrir.
