The Pampa Hermosa National Sanctuary (SNPH) protects a sample of the biodiversity of the Peruvian Yungas ecosystems and is home to bird assemblages, both within the Natural Protected Area (ANP) and its Buffer Zone (ZA). In this study, the composition and structure of bird assemblages were evaluated in 18 sampling units distributed in three sectors: Pampa de Cedros (PC), Pampa de Prumnopitys (PP) and ZA, with the following objectives: (1) To know and compare the composition and structure of the bird assemblages between the aforementioned sectors; (2) Compare it with the birdlife reported in the Concession for the Conservation of the Puyusacha Forest, near the SNPH; and (3) Identify threatened and/or endemic species in the study area. The Shannon (H) and Simpson (1-D) diversity indices showed that the bird assemblages in the sectors within the SNPH were the most diverse, H = 3.28 (PC) and 3.10 (PP), and with a more equitable species distribution, 1-D = 0.96 (CP) and 0.94 (PP), compared to the ZA community (H=2.54 and D=0.89). The analysis of NMDS ordering showed that the ZA presents a more different composition of birds than those of the PC and PP sectors. Likewise, similarities were found in the orders and families reported in Puyusacha, but only 18 species in common. 10 threatened and/or endemic species were identified, 3 of which were also present in Puyusacha; however, species in vulnerable status were only present in the SNPH. The black guan, a species threatened for its hunting value, is reportedly finding a refuge in the SNPH. These results confirm the value of the SNPH in conserving the remnants of cedar forests and the bird assemblages, with threatened and/or endemic species serving as indicators of effectiveness in conservation and management strategies within the ANP.
