Colombia has 1044 protected natural areas, which are the main tool for the conservation of biodiversity and its ecosystem services. Therefore, the implementation of complementary strategies for the conservation of biological diversity in natural areas is a mechanism to guarantee the functionality of Colombian ecosystems. In the present article, a review was made about the establishment of international strategies known as RAMSAR sites, important areas for Bird Conservation, Shorebird Reserves, Biosphere Reserves and Natural Heritage Sites that have been recognized as interior of the protected natural areas of Colombia, this with the purpose of identifying and providing information on the current state of implementation of these conservation strategies in the National System of Protected Areas of Colombia.
