Abstract

The vulnerability assessment of the species of howler monkey (Alouatta palliata palliata) in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica was possible through the application of a Vulnerability Index (VI) that integrates the 4 axes of Sustainable Development. Vulnerability for this species was found to be high (63%). Mainly in the economic and political-institutional criteria, while the social and environmental contribute 50% [S (14%) + A (15%) + E (17%) + PI (17%) = IV (63%)]. In this way, the lines of action should focus on the implementation of policies and management plans that incorporate the howler monkey as a focal species and infrastructure intervention present in its habitat, such as power lines and roads.
