Resumo: | The Amazon is one of the most biodiverse environments on the planet, which enchants nature lovers from all over the world. At the same time, it is also one of the environments that suffers most from the impacts caused by anthropic actions that threaten its integrity and put countless natural ecosystems at risk. In order to stop or reduce the observed impacts, Protected Areas have been and are being created, but for them to fulfill their role in the conservation of species it is necessary to have a participative management process that promotes local communities and gives them the conditions and means necessary to generate income through the sustainable use of natural resources. The state of Pará is home to many beautiful and endemic bird species, which attracts the attention of birdwatchers and opens the possibility for incentives and investments in this segment of ecotourism. For this, it is necessary to know the different players that will participate in this process, as well as the difficulties and logistical adjustments necessary for the activity to be successful. In order to carry out this evaluation, seven cities were visited from August to December 2021, in different regions of the state, which allowed us to profile and learn a little about the perspectives of the different social players in relation to this activity. In addition, as birds are excellent for arousing curiosity, for their attractive colors, songs, and behavior, and because they are relatively easy to observe in nature, the course served both as a way to broaden their view of the possibilities within tourism and to awaken them to the natural beauties that have always been around and which they hardly noticed. This awakening to the beauty of nature is fundamental for local communities, tourism promoters, and managers to realize and value this tourist product of great importance to them: biodiversity. But, despite the initial step taken by the state to make this promising activity viable, it is important to point out that it is not enough to propose and elaborate tourist routes if there is no short and long term follow-up. For ecotourism activities to be successful, it is essential to have relevant indicators to evaluate and monitor results, conditions, and impacts. |

Ao mesmo tempo que também é um dos ambientes que mais sofrem com os impactos causados por ações antrópicas que ameaçam sua integridade e colocam em risco inúmeros ecossistemas naturais. A fim de parar ou reduzir os impactos observados, foram e estão sendo criadas Unidades de Conservação, porém, para que cumpram seu papel na conservação das espécies é necessário haver um processo de gestão participativa que promova as comunidades locais e dê a elas as condições e meios necessários para gerar renda por meio do uso sustentável dos recursos naturais. O estado do Pará abriga muitas espécies de aves belas e endêmicas, o que atrai a atenção de observadores de aves e abre possibilidade para haver incentivos e investimentos neste segmento do ecoturismo. Para isso, se faz necessário conhecer os diferentes atores que participarão deste processo, bem como, as dificuldades e adequações logísticas necessárias para que a atividade tenha sucesso. Buscando realizar esta avaliação, sete cidades foram visitadas no período de agosto a dezembro de 2021, em diferentes regiões do estado, o que permitiu traçar o perfil e conhecer um pouco das perspectivas dos diferentes atores sociais em relação a esta atividade. Além disso, como as aves são excelentes para despertar a curiosidade, por apresentarem cores, cantos e comportamentos atrativos e por serem relativamente fáceis de observar na natureza, o curso serviu tanto como uma forma de ampliar seus olhares para as possibilidades dentro do turismo quanto para despertarem para as belezas naturais que sempre estiveram ao seu redor e que pouco notavam. Este despertar para a beleza da natureza é fundamental para que as comunidades locais, os promotores de turismo e os gestores percebam e valorizem este produto turístico de grande importância para eles próprios: a biodiversidade. Mas, apesar do ponta pé inicial dado pelo estado para viabilizar esta atividade tão promissora, ressalta-se que não basta propor e elaborar roteiros turísticos se não houver acompanhamento a curto e longo prazo. Para que atividades de turismo ecológico tenham êxito, é fundamental que se tenha indicadores relevantes para avaliar e monitorar resultados, condições e impactos.Universidade Federal de São Paulo2022-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado por Comitês coordenado pelos Editores Convidadosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/1360610.34024/rbecotur.2022.v15.13606Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur); v. 15 n. 3 (2022): Edição Especial - Turismo de Observação de AvesBrazilian Journal of Ecotourism; Vol. 15 No. 3 (2022): Edição Especial - Turismo de Observação de AvesRevista Brasileña de Ecoturismo; Vol. 15 Núm. 3 (2022): Edição Especial - Turismo de Observação de Aves1983-9391reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismoinstname:Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)instacron:SBECOTURporhttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/article/view/13606/9809Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFreitas, Fernanda Natalia de SáAleixo, DanielsonMoraes-Ornellas, Valeria dos Santos2022-06-01T10:10:19Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/13606Revistahttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/indexPUBhttp://www.sbecotur.org.br/rbecotur/seer/index.php/ecoturismo/oai||zneiman@gmail.com1983-93911983-9391opendoar:2022-06-01T10:10:19Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo - Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)false |
