Abstract

This work provides information on the presence of wild animals at the AbaetetubaPará Fair, proposes an analysis of environmental legal regulations, related to the meaning of the presence and exposure of these live and slaughtered animals at the fair, given their current understanding as environmental goods, as national heritage, as elements of biodiversity and as goods outside trade and environmental governance actions that involve public, municipal, state and federal agencies. The objective of this work is to offer a contribution to the effective protection of biodiversity, through a booklet with information on the preservation and sustainability of wild animals, in order to produce an instrument of "awareness". The methodology has a qualitative approach, with an analytical and exploratory character. The techniques of bibliographic and documentary research are used to survey theoreticalconceptual and normative materials. The collection of information was carried out through empirical observation and with the application of questionnaires which made it possible to map the attributions and competencies of the agencies in accordance with the environmental legislation in the protection of biodiversity and the locations of capture of the animals. As a preliminary result, the population was unaware of the illegality of the activity involving wild animals. There was a lack of public power management in the protection of wild animals, even with the existence of legislation, such practices continue to occur. As a product, a booklet was created, a work that presents mechanisms of environmental education, in order to raise awareness about the need for the preservation and sustainability of these animals and about the actions of public agencies, schools and society in general in the application of protection policies environmental.
