Rearing and trade of wild birds in a semiarid region of Brazil
Fauna and conservation in the context of formal education: A study of urban and rural students in the semi-arid region of Brazil
Background In addition to playing a key role in the dynamics of ecosystems, animal diversity, especially that of wild vertebrates, is intimately linked with human evolutionary history, which has resulted in diverse interactions that must be emphasized in formal education processes. We analyzed several methods of approaches used for biological education in order to teach about wild vertebrates and their conservation in urban and rural schools in t…
To preserve, or not to preserve, that is the question: Urban and rural student attitudes towards wild vertebrates
Mammalian fauna used in folk medicine among hunters in a semiarid region of Brazil
Wild vertebrates and their representation by urban/rural students in a region of northeast Brazil
BACKGROUND: Recognition of the diversity of living beings, including the classification and naming of species, is a fundamental condition for biological literacy with the aim of developing critical awareness of human relationships with nature, and for which formal education plays an important role. The present study aimed to analyze the representation that urban/rural students have for wild vertebrates and their main sources of knowledge. METHODS…
Zootherapeutic uses of wildmeat and associated products in the semiarid region of Brazil: General Aspects and Challenges for Conservation
The hunting and use of wild species for medicinal purposes are culturally disseminated activities among hunters. Our results demonstrate the importance of studying hunters in order to understanding the dynamics of bushmeat exploitation and to develop more efficient strategies for wildlife use and conservation
Habits and customs of crab catchers in southern Bahia, Brazil
BACKGROUND: Brazilian mangrove forests are widely distributed along the coast and exploited by groups of people with customs and habits as diverse as the biology of the mangrove ecosystems. This study identifies different methods of extracting crabs that inhabit the mangrove belts; some of these activities, such as catching individual crabs by hand, are aimed at maintaining natural stocks of this species in Mucuri (south Bahia), Brazil. METHODS: …
Healing with animals in a semiarid northeastern area of Brazil
Commercial relationships between intermediaries and harvesters of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) in the Mamanguape River estuary, Brazil, and their socio-ecological implications
The large mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (“caranguejo-uçá”) is a key fisheries resource in Brazil, critical for the sustenance of livelihoods of thousands of people in coastal rural areas. Today's crab populations suffer from habitat degradation, disease, and increasing fishing pressure. Crabs are sold alive on local and regional markets, or traded as processed meat and the market chains typically involve intermediaries (i.e. traders). The present…
Game mammals of the Caatinga biome
Mammals stand out among the main game animals of the world, being exploited by human beings for different ends, and being important for the subsistence of several communities. In semiarid environments, as in the Brazilian Caatinga biome, wild mammals have been exploited by the local human population, including endangered species. In this scenario, beyond biological research of the exploited animals, ethnozoological studies are important for suppo…
The role of game mammals as bushmeat In the Caatinga, northeast Brazil
Barboza, R. D., S. F. Lopes, W. M. S. Souto, H. Fernandes-Ferreira, and R. R. N. Alves. 2016. The role of game mammals as bushmeat In the Caatinga, northeast Brazil. Ecology and Society 21(2):2.http://dx.doi.org/10.5751/ES-08358-210202
Students' attitudes toward and knowledge about snakes in the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil
BACKGROUND: Humans in various cultures have feared snakes, provoking an aversion and persecution that hinders conservation efforts for these reptiles. Such fact suggests that conservation strategies for snakes should consider the interactions and perceptions of the local population towards these animals. The aim of this study was to investigate students' perception of snakes and if attitudes and knowledge may differ according to gender and local …
Capture and commercialization of blue land crabs ("guaiamum") Cardisoma guanhumi (Lattreille, 1825) along the coast of Bahia State, Brazil: An Ethnoecological Approach
BackgroundBlue Land Crab (Cardisoma guanhumi) is one of the most important crustacean species captured and commercialized in Brazil. Although this species is not considered to be threatened with extinction, populations ofC. guanhumiare known to be rapidly diminishing due to heavy harvesting pressures and degradation of their natural habitats, highlighting the necessity of developing and implanting management and protection strategies for their po…
Parallels between zootherapeutic practices in ethnoveterinary and human complementary medicine in northeastern Brazil
Perceptions of environmental changes and Lethargic crab disease among crab harvesters in a Brazilian coastal community
Background Lethargic Crab Disease (LCD) has caused significant mortalities in the population of Ucides cordatus crabs in the Mucuri estuary in Bahia State, Brazil, and has brought social and economic problems to many crab-harvesting communities that depend on this natural resource. The present work examined the perceptions of members of a Brazilian crab harvesting community concerning environmental changes and the Lethargic Crab Disease. Methods …
Medicinal animals used in ethnoveterinary practices of the 'Cariri Paraibano', NE Brazil
BackgroundZootherapy is important in various socio-cultural environments, and innumerous examples of the use of animal derived remedies can currently be found in many urban, semi-urban and more remote localities in all parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. However, although a number of ethnobiological inventories concerning the use of medicinal animals in human health care have been compiled in Brazil in recent years, zoothera…
The influence of religiosity on health
The relationship between religion and health has been a subject of interest in the past and in the latest years becoming increasingly visible in the social, behavioral, and health sciences. Among several approaches to be considered, the present work provides a briefly discuss concerning the bond between health and religiosity in the cure process and diseases treatment. Several investigations show that religious participation is related with bette…
The use of zootherapeutics in folk veterinary medicine in the district of Cubati, Paraíba State, Brazil
BACKGROUND: The present work addresses the use of zootherapy in folk veterinary medicine (ethnoveterinary) by the residents of the municipal district of Cubati, microregion of Seridó, Paraíba State, Brazil. It sought to identify the principal animals used as medicinal sources for zootherapeutics and to contribute to the preservation and sustainability of this traditional knowledge. METHODS: Field research was undertaken on a weekly or biweekly ba…
