Perfil qualitativo e quantitivo da fauna silvestre recebida pelos órgãos de fiscalização de Teresina-PI

Abstract

Due to housing policies without adequate planning, the fragmentation of forest areas is increasing damage of the faunal elements in Brazil and in the world, thus intensifying the imbalance of biodiversity. The impacts of modern society in this way may be irreversible for faunistic components, contributing to the extinction of fauna species and therefore, bring numerous ecosystem problems. Teresina currently suffers from a process of expansion in a disorganized way, causing environmental problems, which directly lead to the reduction of fauna specimens. For better information on the conservation of species, it was necessary to collect data of the number of animals seized by Teresina's inspection bodies. The objective of this study was to establish the qualitative and quantitative profile of the wild fauna received through the analysis of the records of the entry of animals into the official State and Union agencies. The methodologies used were based on data collected and interviews were applied in the Battalion of Environmental Police-BEP, Brazilian Institute of Environment and Natural Resources BIEN, and Center for Screening of Wild Animals - CSWA. Based on the methodology applied, it was possible to note that the inspection bodies of BIEN and BEP and CSWA have information that provides informational support to contribute to the maintenance of the species. This information can contribute to the creation of public policies to protect wildlife and to develop strategies for the execution of environmental education programs for fauna maintenance.
