| Abstract | We characterized the management systems of Copernicia tectorum in two localities in the Caribbean Region of Colombia: Plato (Magdalena), and Magangue (Bolivar). We also examined the impact of harvest on population structure, number of leafs and length of unexpanded leafs, both in harvested and unharvested populations. In Plato, unexpanded leaves are harvested only from sub-adults and adults, which does not appear to affect individual palms or the palm population. In Magangue, palms are harvested from the size-class juveniles, thus limiting their growth; this results in populations with very few adults, compromising sustainability, even in short term. The model of community use and free access to the palms, has allowed their preservation in Plato, contrary to what happened in Magangue, where individual appropriation was made, both legally and illegally, causing population fragmentation, logging and restriction of access for harvesters. Future management in Plato should focus on halting logging and minimizing impact on the wetland complex, where the palms grow. In Magangue, overexploitation must be controlled in order to promote successful recruitment of juvenile classes |
