“…The species with the highest use and importance for the community of Bonifacio García because they have a high (0.19) medicinal diversity value (VDM) were the iguana Ctenosaura pectinata, whitetail deer Odoicoileus virginianus and rattlesnake Crotalus culminatus, this because each one of them is used in the treatment of 3 diseases; this is different to what García et al (2017) report, as those authors mention the skunk as the animal with the highest index (0.6) for Zacualpan de Amilpas, Morelos, Mexico. Enríquez et al (2006) mention that the most important species are those that help for an specific disease, that is, with a lower VDM, which in the case of the community under study includes the following species: armadillo Dasypus novemcinctus, species used to treat cough, fact that is different from what is reported in Colombia where it is employed to manage asthma (Aldana et al 2016).…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the ethnozoological knowledge that the inhabitants of the Bonifacio García community, Morelos, Mexico, conserve about wild vertebrate. Semi-structured interviews were applied to 30 key informants, through participant observation and guided tours, traces such as footprints, excreta, burrows and pelts and in vivo observation were researched for the identification of the mentioned species and the following indexes were calculated: value of diversity of use for each species (VDS) and of medicinal uses (DVM), as well as the diversity index of the treated diseases (DITD). The study recorded a total of 42 wild vertebrate species, of these 28 are used: mammals 39.3%, birds 32%, reptiles 18%, fish 7.1% and amphibia 3.6%. The main use values were alimentary (0.54), medicinal (0.46) and ornamental (0.43). The white-tailed deer, the black iguana and the rattlesnake registered 0.57 of VDS and a DVM of 0.19. The main diseases treated are cancer, respiratory and skin diseases and rheumatism with an DITD of 0.17. The animals are obtained by means of subsistence hunting in the fields (50%), croplands (43%) and backyards (7%), using most frequently shotguns as arms for capture. We conclude that the appropriation of vertebrates complements basic needs for food and health; therefore, ethnozoological knowledge must be integrated into public policies that enable the conservation and management of wild fauna in the community.

El monitoreo comunitario permite generar conocimiento sobre los recursos naturales a través del trabajo colaborativo entre diferentes actores. Esta estrategia, busca formar vínculos con los recursos naturales, más allá de documentación del valor de uso, promueve la exploración, reconocimiento e investigación. Para su planeación, implementación y evaluación, además de la organización social local, se necesita del interés de los participantes en la conservación. Se apoya de herramientas participativas que ayudan a sentar las bases e identificar necesidades e intereses. En México, se han monitoreado diferentes recursos naturales (i.e. agua, bosques, fauna silvestre) bajo diferentes enfoques (i.e. biológico, participativo y comunitario); sin embargo, como es de esperarse, el enfoque más exitoso implica el trabajo comunitario a largo plazo.

“…The bush is the main space where appropriation takes place, as it is the natural environment inhabited by the species. López et al (2018) identified 11 hunting spaces in Guerrero, which indicates that the inhabitants travel long distances and possess knowledge of their environment that allows them to obtain bush meat (Aldana et al 2016;Tamburini et al 2016;Estrada et al 2018;López et al 2018;García et al 2020).…”

Through their traditional productive activities, peasant and indigenous communities have generated knowledge on the use and management of wildlife to satisfy their needs for food, medicine or even to complement their basic food basket through the marketing of the species. The objective of this research was to analyze the knowledge, use and traditional management of wildlife in a rural community in the southwestern part of the state of Morelos, Mexico. The methodology included participant observation, semistructured interviews and guided tours and methods for obtaining and analyzing quantitative data "such as analysis of variance, a Mann-Whitney U test and X 2 test". The interviewees recognized a total of 57 species of wildlife, of which 22 are used as food, medicine, ornament, amulets, furs and agricultural tools in four traditional production units. In addition, eight species were reported in the oral tradition. Four hunting techniques and five weapons were documented, with the shotgun being the most commonly used. Two factors regulate hunting in the community: the closed season and religion. A total of 62,454 kg of useful biomass was recorded, with mammals being the group that contributed the most kilograms, followed by reptiles and birds. There were no significant differences in species consumption, across months or rainy and dry seasons due to factors regulating hunting. Based on the total value index of the species, Odocoileus virginianus was the most important for the inhabitants of the community.
