Abstract
This article investigates the socio-cultural and
ecological aspects associated with the hunting of
wild animals by the inhabitants of the Cruz
village, State of Alagoas. The data was obtained
through semi-structured interviews and informal
conversations. A total of 23 species was
indicated as a game, with mammals being
preferred by the population. Among the
techniques of capture, the hunting of persecution
with dog and hunting with a shotgun stands out,
in addition to the shuttlecock, used to reach the
birds with small stones. Four forms of animal use
were recorded: food, medicine, pets, and control.
Despite being indicated as one of the main causes
of the reduction of wildlife, hunting is strongly
related to the socio-cultural aspects of the
Brazilian semi-arid populations. Thus, proposals
for the management of wildlife resources in
traditional communities must take into account
the needs of these populations.
Key Words: Hunting fauna. Conservation.
Socio-environmental. Ethnobiology.
Resumo
Este ar tigo investiga aspectos socioculturais e
ecológicos associados à caça de animais silvestres
pelos moradores do povoado Cruz, no Estado de
Alagoas. Dados foram o btidos por meio de
entrevistas semiestruturadas e conversas
informais. Um total de 23 espécies foi indicado
como recursos cinegéticos, sendo os mamíferos os
preferidos pela população. Entre as técnicas de
captura, destaca-se a caça de perseguição com
cachorros e caça com espingarda, além do uso de
peteca, utilizada para atingir as aves com pequenas
pedras. Quatro formas de uso dos animais foram
registradas: alimentar, medicinal, estimação e
controle. Apesar de ser apontada como uma d as
principais causas da redução da fauna silvestre, a
caça está fortemente r elacionada aos aspectos
socioculturais d as populações do se miárido
brasileiro. Dessa forma, as p*-ropostas de manejo
dos recursos faunísticos em comunidades
tradicionais devem levar em consideração as
necessidades dessas populações.
