Utilización de fauna silvestre en el área rural de caimito, sucre, colombia

Abstract

Esta investigación analiza la caza de subsistencia y registra las especies de reptiles, aves y mamíferos que son capturados para subsistencia o comercio en una zona rural del municipio de Caimito, Sucre, Colombia. La zona se caracteriza por la presencia de extensas ciénagas y forma parte de la región de la Mojana en el San Jorge. Se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a habitantes rurales, conocedores y usuarios del recurso. Se evidencia que las especies de mayor preferencia, caracterizadas por un mayor valor social, son aquellas que de forma particular están asociadas a la tradición cultural de consumo. Los registros permiten conocer preliminarmente el estado de la fauna silvestre que se está utilizando y permitirá proponer futuros estudios ambientales que conduzcan a proyectos de conservación en la zona.Palabras clave: fauna silvestre, cacería de subsistencia, Caimito, Sucre. AbstractThis research analyzed the subsistence hunt and registered the species of reptiles, birds and mammals that are captured for consumption or trade in a rural zone of Caimito municipality, Sucre, Colombia. The zone is characterized by the presence of extensive marshes and it is part of the region of the Mojana at the San Jorge river basin. Semistructured interviews were applied to the rural inhabitants, experts and users of the resource. It is evidenced that the species of more preference, are characterized by a bigger social use value and are those that are associated to the tradition of cultural consumption in a particular way. In essence the registrations allow introductorily knowing the state of the wildlife that is using to propose future environmental studies that lead to conservation projects.

Knowledge and interactions of the local community with the herpetofauna in the forest reserve of Quininí (Tibacuy-Cundinamarca, Colombia)

“…For some years now, ethnozoological studies have been conducted in Colombia that focused mostly on reptiles with high commercial usage, e.g., Trachemys callirostris (Gray, 1856), Iguana iguana (Linnaeus, 1758), Boa constrictor Linnaeus, 1758 and Tupinambis teguixin (Linnaeus, 1758), among others [11][12][13][14]. Nevertheless, there is little information about the use and perception of herpetofauna as a biological group, which is concerning when the high biological diversity of Colombia and Andes mountains is taken into account [9,15,16].…”

Local community knowledge and perceptions in the Colombian Caribbean towards Amphibians in urban and rural settings: tools for biological conservation

“…We found differences in the perceptions of people at the level of gender and academic training concerning the premise about the medicinal use of amphibians. Women from both localities and participants in studies at the primary level disagreed, unlike the rest of the participants, especially some respondents from rural areas and people with professional training who gave examples for the use of amphibians in traditional medicine that have been documented both in Latin America and Europe (Alves et al 2008;Enríquez Vázquez et al 2006;De La Ossa-Lacayo and De La Ossa 2012;Luiz and Vieira 2014;Teixeira et al 2020;Vallejo and González 2015). The idea about the nutritional value of amphibians yielded significant differences at the local level, academic training and ages, where participants from the rural sector, adolescents and people without formal education stated that they disagreed with the inclusion of these species in the gastronomic spectrum of people.…”

Estudio etnozoológico de las aves y mamíferos silvestres asociados a huertos frutícolas de Zacualpan de Amilpas, Morelos, México

“…Naranjo & Cuarón (2010) reportan el uso de la grasa del zorrillo listado para dolores musculares y Rodas et al, (2016) mencionan la grasa del tlacuache para curar la tos y el consumo de carne de armadillo para la reumas y bronquios. En Colombia el armadillo también se ha reportado con uso medicinal y como mascota (De la Ossa & De la Ossa, 2012a;Valencia & De la Ossa, 2016). Costa-Neto (1999), El-Kmali (2000) y Sodeinde & Soewu (1999) reportan que los mamíferos aportan especies con usos medicinales en Brasil, Nigeria y Sudan.…”
