  abstract = {{M}onitoring large marine mammals is challenging due to their low abundances in general, an ability to move over large distances and wide geographical range sizes. {T}he distribution of the pygmy ({K}ogia breviceps) and dwarf ({K}ogia sima) sperm whales is informed by relatively rare sightings, which does not permit accurate estimates of their distribution ranges. {H}ence, their conservation status has long remained {D}ata {D}eficient ({DD}) in the {R}ed list of the {I}nternational {U}nion for {C}onservation of {N}ature ({IUCN}), which prevent appropriate conservation measures. {E}nvironmental {DNA} (e{DNA}) metabarcoding uses {DNA} traces left by organisms in their environments to detect the presence of targeted taxon, and is here proved to be useful to increase our knowledge on the distribution of rare but emblematic megafauna. {R}etrieving e{DNA} from filtered surface water provides the first detection of the {D}warf sperm whale ({K}ogia sima) around the remote {M}alpelo island ({C}olombia). {E}nvironmental {DNA} collected during oceanic missions can generate better knowledge on rare but emblematic animals even in regions that are generally well sampled for other taxa.},
