Análise da prática de caça sob a perspectiva de moradores no semiárido piauiense: um estudo de caso nos municípios de Inhuma e Oeiras-PI

Abstract

The practice of hunting in Brazil is a very frequent activity, practiced since the beginnings and extends throughout the Brazilian territory region, both in rural and urban areas. It is an activity that can be motivated by cultural, economic or medicinal issues. Based on this context, the aforementioned study sought to identify the main motivations and conceptions regarding the practice of hunting, considering socioeconomic, cultural and environmental aspects, and recording the main species hunted. The research was carried out in areas of Caatinga in two locations. Data collection was carried out through the application of questionnaires to 18 interviewed, 9 from the urban area and 9 from the rural area. Results revealed 14 species, 6 techniques used to capture the animals and 5 instruments used to attract them. This work presents relevant information regarding the use of game resources, in order to contribute to future proposals for interventions aimed at the preservation and integrated management of the regional fauna. Therefore, showing empirical knowledge increases the solution ideas when it comes to awareness strategies about the use of wild fauna.
