This project sought to evaluate the conservation status of sixteen species of the Tropaeolaceae family in Colombia following the methodology proposed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). To do this, a database was prepared integrating the records of the prioritized species of the family present in the country. Distribution maps by species were elaborated and data were obtained on the extent of presence, area of ​​occupation and state of conservation of the localities. Finally, the species were categorized under criterion B of the IUCN red list and categorization sheets were prepared by species. As a result, it was obtained that the general distribution for these species in the country is restricted to the Andean region and that of the sixteen species evaluated, six are classified as Critically Endangered (CR), five are classified as Endangered (EN), two are classified as Vulnerable (VU), one as Near Threatened (NT) and two as Least Concern (LC). The main threats found were the development of agricultural and livestock activities, the expansion of the urban frontier and deforestation. The results obtained show the need to take measures for the preservation of these species. This work provides a broader look at the situation of the Tropaeolaceae family in Colombia and promotes the development of research projects aimed at the conservation of this botanical family.
