| description |
Large felines are important for maintaining ecological balance, and are indicators of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. Cougars (Puma concolor) are terrestrial mammals with a wide distribution in Argentina, and theirconservation status is Least Concern. This study aimed to report new records and generate possible explanations for its presence in the province of Corrientes, as well as explore possible impacts on its population. The study area was composed of three protected areas and their buffer zones, the Mburucuyá National Park, the San Nicolás Portal within the Iberá National Park and the Rincón SantaMaría Provincial Natural Reserve, located in the lomadas arenosas region, and other regions of the province with new records. In the protected areas, stratified sampling was carried out using direct and indirect counting techniques between the years 2014 to 2020. In addition, unstructured verbal interviews were carried out in the buffer zones (years 2016 to 2020) and information was searched in local newspaper sources (years 2014 to 2020). We actualized the distribution and confirmed the presence of the puma in nine departments of Corrientes, with 20detections between the years 2015 to 2020. In the records, 57.1% correspond to adult puma individuals. Regarding spatial location, the detections were located in grasslands, native forest, exotic forests, yatay or caranday palm groves near the edges of bodies of water, areas with urbanization and productive activities (rural, forestry). This information will serve as a basis for implementing monitoring andsurveillance programs, as well as initiating future studies on the perception and interaction with people from Corrientes. |

Los grandes felinos son importantes para el mantenimiento del equilibrio ecológico, y son indicadores de biodiversidad y resiliencia de los ecosistemas. Los pumas (Puma concolor) son mamíferos terrestres con una amplia distribución en Argentina, y su estado de conservación es de Preocupación Menor. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo reportar nuevos registros y generar posibles explicaciones sobre su presencia en la provincia de Corrientes, como así también explorar posibles impactos sobre su población. El área de estudio consistió en tres áreas protegidas y sus zonas de amortiguamiento, Parque Nacional Mburucuyá, Portal San Nicolás del Parque Nacional Iberá y Reserva Natural Provincial Rincón Santa María, ubicadas en la región de lomadas arenosas, y otras regiones de la provincia donde se produjeron nuevos registros de la especie. En las áreas protegidas se realizaron muestreos estratificados mediante técnicas de conteo directo e indirecto entre los años 2014 a 2020. Además, se realizaron entrevistas verbales no estructuradas en las zonas de amortiguamiento (años 2016 a 2020) y la búsqueda de información en fuentes periodísticas locales (años 2014 a 2020). Actualizamos la distribución y confirmamos la presencia del puma en nueve departamentos de Corrientes,con 20 detecciones comprendidas entre los años 2015 a 2020. El 57,1 % de los registros corresponden a individuos adultos. Con respecto a la ubicación espacial las detecciones se localizaron en pastizales, bosque nativo, forestales de exóticas, palmares de yatay o caranday próximos a bordes de cuerpos de agua, áreas con urbanización y actividades productivas (rurales, forestales). Esta información servirá como base para implementar programas de monitoreo y vigilancia, como así también iniciar futuros estudios sobre la percepción e interacción con las personas en Corrientes.
