Abstract

espanolEn este estudio se analizan los resultados de la rehabilitacion de aves rapaces silvestres admitidas en el Centro de Rehabilitacion de Fauna Silvestre de Tafira en la isla de Gran Canaria, Espana, desde 2003 hasta 2013, mediante un sistema de auditoria de la calidad basado en los indices generales y clasificados (por causa de admision) de las cuatro categorias de disposicion final, el tiempo hasta la muerte y el tiempo de permanencia como indicadores de calidad. Las categorias de disposicion final fueron: eutanasia (Er ) = 19,78%, mortalidad no asistida durante la hospitalizacion (Mr ) = 22,20%, liberacion (Rr ) = 57,57% y cautividad permanente (Cr ) = 0,46%. Teniendo en cuenta la especial vulnerabilidad de las especies de rapaces insulares y el alto indice de Rr conseguido, los resultados de este estudio ponen de relieve la importancia de los centros de rehabilitacion de fauna silvestre en el tratamiento medico de las aves heridas y la consiguiente liberacion de las aves rehabilitadas. EnglishThe outcomes of wild raptors admitted to the Tafira Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Gran Canaria Island, Spain, from 2003 to 2013 were analyzed using a quality auditing system based on the crude and stratified (by causes of admission) rates of four final outcome categories, time until death and length of stay as quality indicators. The outcome categories were: euthanasia (Er = 19.78%); unassisted mortality during hospitalization (Mr = 22.20%); release (Rr = 57.57%); and permanent captivity (Cr = 0.46%). Taking into account the particular vulnerability of insular raptor species and the high Rr achieved, findings from this study emphasize the importance of wildlife rehabilitation centers for the medical management of injured raptors and the subsequent release of rehabilitated individuals into the wild.
