AbstractThe Popayán Botanical Garden (PBG) is an environmental conservation zone. However, their populations have been little studied, leading to information gaps about their biodiversity, for this reason, this research consisted of identifying the mammals present in the JBP through the installation of camera traps in an area with little human intervention, which left as results a total of six species of terrestrial mammals and a number of registered flying mammal species to be defined, which highlight the importance of this little-implemented study method in the department of Cauca and which make the study area a place propitious to maintain and preserve the ecological and environmental integrity of ecosystems with the presence of fundamental forest fragments to conserve the biological diversity of the region, the department and the country
