Hunting and animal trafficking are activities rooted in Brazilian culture, being some of the main
causes of depletion of species populations, just behind the loss of habitat for deforestation and
burning. The state of Tocantins, shares two of the most biodiverse biomes on the planet (cerrado
and Amazon), a fact that makes it a target for poaching and wildlife trafficking, however, the
state does not yet have a compilation of data on the occurrence of such crimes. Environmental
issues. In addition to the knowledge gap that the state represents, inspection is scarce; the
inspectors' lack of preparation; the lack of allocation of funds and socio-environmental
education; they are factors that stimulate the continuation of illegal activities involving fauna.
The objective of this work was to make a diagnosis of hunting and trafficking in the state of
Tocantins. The diagnosis was made through the analysis of infraction notices drawn up by the
responsible environmental agencies between the years 2000 and 2018 and included in the
Integrated Environmental Management System (SIGA), in addition to assess the implications
of these activities for the conservation of regional biodiversity. The results obtained indicated
that hunting and trafficking activities are practiced in all regions of the state, with emphasis on
the municipality of Alvorada in the southern region. The prevalence of subsistence hunting for
mammals and reptiles and trafficking for avifauna was observed. |
