Resumo: The practice of observing animals in their natural habitats is a hobby of millions of people all over the world, once it combines tourism, science, and education. Birdwatching, for instance, is already consolidated in several countries in the northern hemisphere, and it is being increasingly adopted by Brazilian ecotourists. Although Brazil has a rich avifauna distributed among its biomes, birdwatching is still underestimated in several regions, including the Brazilian Northeast region. In this sense, this study aimed to analyze the potential of the birdwatching activity in a national park inserted within the Caatinga biome, in the state of Ceará, Brazil, focusing on the evaluation of the local infrastructure and species richness. For this purpose, it was adopted a methodological procedure that included data sampling in situ, by surveying the avifauna and exploring the area. The results indicate that the Ubajara National Park has an abundant and diverse avifauna, including both typical species from the humid forest and those common in dry forests (Caatinga). Furthermore, it presented a favorable local infrastructure for ecotourism activities, counting on valuable furniture for the birdwatching activity, which makes this park an outstanding place among the conservation units of the Caatinga biome for birdwatching.

A observação de aves (birdwatching), por exemplo, já é consolidada em diversos países do hemisfério norte, e vem apresentando contínua adesão de ecoturistas brasileiros. Apesar do Brasil apresentar uma rica avifauna distribuída entre os seus biomas, a prática do birdwatching ainda é subestimada em diversas regiões, como acontece no Nordeste. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o potencial da atividade de observação de aves em um parque nacional inserido dentro do bioma Caatinga, no estado do Ceará, com enfoque na avaliação da infraestrutura local e na riqueza de espécies. Para tanto, foram adotados procedimentos metodológicos que envolveram a coleta de dados in situ, através do levantamento da avifauna e da exploração da área. Os resultados apontaram que o Parque Nacional de Ubajara possui uma avifauna diversa e abundante, abrangendo tanto espécies típicas de florestas úmidas, como aquelas comuns nas matas secas da Caatinga. Aliado a isso, apresentou uma infraestrutura local bastante propícia para a realização de atividades ecoturísticas, contando com um mobiliário valoroso para a atividade de observação de aves, o que o destaca entre as unidades de conservação do bioma Caatinga para o birdwatching.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/1358810.34024/rbecotur.2022.v15.13588Revista 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/13588/9804Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo (RBEcotur)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNascimento, Muryllo dos SantosGuzzi, Anderson Andrade, Ivanilza Moreira deSiqueira, Airton Janes da SilvaGomes, Irene Suelen de Araújo2022-06-01T10:10:21Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/13588Revistahttps://periodicos.unifesp.br/index.php/ecoturismo/indexPUBhttp://www.sbecotur.org.br/rbecotur/seer/index.php/ecoturismo/oai||zneiman@gmail.com1983-93911983-9391opendoar:2022-06-01T10:10:21Revista Brasileira de Ecoturismo - Sociedade Brasileira de Ecoturismo (SBECotur)false
