Santuary
Mangleres de Tumbes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This
sanctuary was created March 2, 1988, due to it's
importance as the only swamp forest in Perú. It extends
for 2,972 hectares and is situated in the Zarumilla
province, of the Tumbes region.
The swamp forests prosper in the hot zones close to
Ecuador, where the salt water of the ocean and the sweet
water of the rivers meet. They are considered one of the
most productive ecosystems on the planet. Not only does
it provide firewood, but it has also been a natural
barrier against the erosion that produces the waves and
tides. In addition, it produces an enormous quantity of
sediments and organic material which is taken from the
land to the ocean.
On the other hand, the swamps are home to a diversity of
wild fauna and a place of reproduction of many species
of Crustaceae, birds, fish and mammals.
The community of the swamps of Tumbes are classified by
four species: the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), the
black mangrove (Avicennia germinans), the white mangrove
(Laguncularia racemosa), and the button mangrove (Conocarpus
erectus).
Among the aquatic fauna, exist 33 snail (shell) species,
34 Crustaceae, 24 Mollusca with shells and 105 fish
which are the resources that the fisherman use to feed
the local population. These marshes also are a refuge
for the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), a specie
which is on it's way to extinction.
This zone harbors numerous species of birds, for example,
the heron and the magnificent frigatebird (Fregata
magnificens), among others. Among the mammals, the swamp
bear and the crab eating raccoon (Procyon cancrivorus)
can be found.
The access to the sanctuary is restricted and is found
under the care of the Marina de Guerra of Perú.
