Resumo: | The expansion of the human population causing loss of natural habitats, in addition to the suppression of wild animals from nature, for human consumption or to be maintained as pets, are serious problems that must be solved by environmental government agencies. So, this study was developed aiming to know which species of wild animals are most affected by anthropogenic activities in Boa Vista, Roraima state, between 2014 and 2016. We accessed the seizure data from the Independent Company of Environmental Police Monte Roraima, and we recorded 214 individuals from the Classes: Reptilia (n = 102), Aves (n = 76) and Mammalia (n = 36). Reptiles were represented in their majority by chelonians (51.96%) and scaled reptiles (42.16%), while among birds, passerines and parrots represent around 70% of the group seizures. For mammals, Pilosa and rodents were responsible for 50% of the rescues. These numbers represent a small sample of the wildlife removed from nature, demonstrating that it is necessary to increase the available police force and resources to monitoring operations. Also, environmental awareness activities need to be developed, once that the domestication of wild animals and its consumption are a cultural practice in the region. Thereby this study identified that mainly chelonians, passerines and parrots must be used as target species to direct environmental activities in order to improve the effectiveness of the use of available resources.Keywords: Roraima; Mammalia; Reptilia; Aves; Environmental Inspection. |

Assim, este estudo foi desenvolvido com o intuito de se conhecer quais espécies de animais silvestres são mais afetadas pelas atividades antrópicas em Boa vista, estado de Roraima, entre 2014 e 2016. Nós acessamos os dados das apreensões realizadas pela Companhia Independente de Policiamento Ambiental Monte Roraima, e registramos 214 indivíduos das Classes: Reptilia (n = 102), Aves (n = 76) e Mammalia (n = 36). Os répteis foram representados, em sua maioria, por quelônios (51,96%) e squamatas (42,16%), enquanto entre as aves, pássaros e papagaios representaram cerca de 70% das capturas do grupo. Para os mamíferos, Pilosa e roedores foram responsáveis por 50% dos resgates. Esses números representam uma pequena amostra da vida silvestre retirada da natureza, demonstrando a necessidade de se aumentar a força policial disponível e os recursos para operações de fiscalização. Também existe a necessidade de se desenvolver atividades de conscientização ambiental, uma vez que o consumo e a domesticação de animais silvestres são práticas culturais na região. Desse modo, este estudo identificou que quelônios, pássaros e papagaios devem ser utilizados como espécies-alvo para o direcionamento das atividades ambientais visando aumentar a efetividade do uso dos recursos disponíveis.Palavras-chave: Roraima, Mammalia, Reptilia, Aves, Fiscalização ambiental.Universidade Federal do AmapáCompanhia Independente de Policiamento Ambiental, Polícia Militar de RoraimaFaculdade CathedralCapaverde-Jr., Ubirajara DutraLopes, Marcos da Silvade Almeida, Nathália Coelho Vargasde Almeida, Francisco Zelito PoncianoPathek, Dinah Barbara2018-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo Avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/article/view/363210.18561/2179-5746/biotaamazonia.v8n1p43-48Biota Amazônia (Biote Amazonie, Biota Amazonia, Amazonian Biota); v. 8, n. 1 (2018); 43-482179-5746reponame:Biota Amazôniainstname:Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)instacron:UNIFAPporhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/article/view/3632/v8n1p43-48.pdfAmazon; Brazil; Roraimaurban area; wildlife; environmental inspectionDireitos autorais 2018 Biota Amazônia (Biote Amazonie, Biota Amazonia, Amazonian Biota)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-03-28T12:50:42Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/3632Revistahttp://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biotaONGhttps://periodicos.unifap.br/index.php/biota/oai||juliosa@unifap.br2179-57462179-5746opendoar:2019-03-28T12:50:42Biota Amazônia - Universidade Federal do Amapá (UNIFAP)false |
