Since the end of the last decade, Guatemala has been involved in conservation actions, which are reflected in the issuance of Decree 68-89 of the Law on Protection and Improvement of the Environment, Decree 4-89 Law of Protected Areas, Red List of Wildlife for Guatemala located in 1994 and 1996, ratification of the Global Strategy on Biological Diversity (February 21, 1995), etc. Despite this, it is known that in Guatemala there are many institutions that collect, manage and generate information on the fauna of our country. Unfortunately, this valuable information is dispersed, isolated or not very accessible to other researchers, so it is difficult to have a exact panorama of faunal knowledge in Guatemala. Seeing this problem, the CDC carried out from February '995 to June 1998 the project “Evaluation and Conservation of the Endangered Natural Fauna Heritage of Guatemala (Phase I and 11)”, co-financed by several research institutions in the country. The objective of this project was to compile data on the diversity, ecology and distribution of national fauna with emphasis on those in danger of extinction or to organize and systematize all the information, in order to make its management practical and useful. to users and decision makers.
