Resumo: | The present study was undertaken in a traditional community in the semiarid region of Paraíba State, Northeastern Brazil, with the purpose of registering the main animal species hunted and evaluating the implications of these practices in terms of the conservation of local fauna. A total of 78 species of wild tetrapod vertebrates were cited by 24 interviewees as being hunted in the region. These animals were separated into four different animals groups (mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians) with ten distinct purposes: zootherapy, folk veterinary medicine, cosmetics, mystical-religious purposes, creation/domestication, commercial exploration, ornamental use, as food, as entertainment, and for animal control. This work highlights the lack of studies regarding some forms of exploitation of wildlife resources as a barrier that hinders the assessment of priorities for conservation and management, by precluding a stable inventory of animal species under the greatest pressure of use. However, even with these barriers we can clearly see that exploitation and utilization of wildlife by man represents one of the most significant uses of natural resources in the surveyed areas. |

Knowledge and use of wildlife by hunters in the Brazilian semiarid region: a case study in Paraíba StateConhecimentos e usos da fauna por caçadores no semiárido brasileiro: um estudo de caso no estado da Paraíba, Nordeste do BrasilThe present study was undertaken in a traditional community in the semiarid region of Paraíba State, Northeastern Brazil, with the purpose of registering the main animal species hunted and evaluating the implications of these practices in terms of the conservation of local fauna.

Um total de 24 entrevistados citou 78 espécies de vertebrados tetrápodes silvestres caçados na região. Esses animais podem ser organizados, de acordo com o uso, em dez categorias diferentes: zooterapia, etnoveterinária, uso cosmético, uso/interação místico-religiosa, criação/domesticação, comércio, uso/interação ornamental, alimentação, lazer/recreação, caça de controle. Com o presente trabalho percebeu-se que a carência de estudos em relação às formas de aproveitamento dos recursos faunísticos constitui uma barreira que dificulta o levantamento das prioridades de conservação e manejo, por impossibilitar um inventário seguro das espécies animais que sofrem maior pressão de uso. Entretanto, mesmo com essa barreira, constatamos seguramente que a interação de aproveitamento e emprego existente entre homem e fauna constitui uma das mais significativas formas de aplicação dos recursos naturais nas áreas estudadas.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2015-02-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2015v28n2p13710.5007/2175-7925.2015v28n2p137Biotemas; v. 28 n. 2 (2015); 137-1482175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2015v28n2p137/29251Copyright (c) 2015 José Aécio Alves Barbosa, José Otávio Aguiarinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbosa, José Aécio AlvesAguiar, José Otávio2017-10-19T16:38:18Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/34447Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2017-10-19T16:38:18Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
