Abstract

A protocol was designed by us for monitoring birds in the context of the Brazilian in situ
biodiversity monitoring program on federal protected areas of Chico Mendes Biodiversity Conservation
Institute. Brazilian protected areas have different financial and infrastructural conditions, as well as human
resources. Thus factors consequently influence the capacity of managers to implement environmental
programs and proposals. Thus, a minimum protocol was designed to be feasible even in protected areas
that do not have optimal logistical conditions. Based on a systematic review, the point count method was
selected due to its versatility and it provides a good benefit-cost ratio, besides being widely used in monitoring
projects of bird communities. The presented protocol proposes the adoption of sample site composed by 12
point count sites, with a distance of 200 m between points, besides 50 m detection ratio. At each protected
area should be deployed at least three independent sample blocks, totaling 36 points evaluated during the
reproductive season. We hope that this protocol may contribute to the standardization of sampling inside
of protected areas - and even for similar projects, and the results of the monitoring program in Brazilian
reserves allow the assessment of the degree of integrity and the efficiency of the protected areas system, thus
assisting future management plans
