Vol. 6 No. 2 Jul-Dic (2016)

In order to fulfill one more requirement in the task of continuing to position the Revista Neotropical Biodiversity in national and international scenarios of indexing scientific journals, we increased from five (as it was in our beginnings), to 13 (this number) the number of articles. Among other important contributions, this issue presents the first list of mammals published for the department of Chocó (Colombia), new reports of plant species for Colombia and one for the Pacific Ocean. When completing its Sixth Volume, Neotropical Biodiversity accumulates a dozen published numbers, a goal proposed when in 2011 we achieved the dream of creating a quality scientific journal that will present contributions to the knowledge of the region's biodiversity. It is for this reason that in this issue we bring a special contribution, the description of a new taxon of birthing for science, coming from one of the most fascinating sites of Colombia, the National Park Chiribiquete, in the Colombian Guiana, in the process of Declaratory as a double cultural and natural heritage of humanity, hoping in this way to contribute to the process of consolidation of this initiative.
