Caçar, preparar e comer o ‘bicho do mato’: práticas alimentares entre os quilombolas na Reserva Extrativista Ipaú-Anilzinho (Pará)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-12) FIGUEIREDO, Rodrigo Augusto Alves de; BARROS, Flávio Bezerra
Hunting of wild animals has played a significant role in the physical and symbolic reproduction of rural families living in various tropical regions of the planet. Indeed, many dimensions of using cynegetic resources as a source of human food have not been sufficiently studied, yet, above all from the viewpoints of Anthropology and Ethnoecology. Such dimensions are often overlooked in biodiversity conservation interventions. This article aims to analyze the use of wild animals in feeding practices among families in the quilombola community of Joana Peres, located in the Extractive Reserve Ipaú-Anilzinho, a conservation unit within the municipality of Baião, Pará, Brazilian Amazon. We conducted the study by using Ethnoecology postulates. We highlight elements having a social and cultural nature that guide the procedures for obtaining, preparing, and eating food through the cynegetic activity. We employed the methods of participant observation and semi-structured and open interviews. We interpret data both qualitatively and quantitatively. Particularly, for each of the species mentioned we seek to calculate the index of Use Value (UV), which allows to demonstrate the degree of relative importance of locally known species. The study has shown that the cynegetic activity involves both nutritional and socio-cultural aspects, since wildlife resources provide protein and the dietary practices are permeated by various processes including habits, imaginary, sociability, taboos, and preparation modes.

This work analyzed the use of local fauna by rural and urban populations in the municipality of Abaetetuba, PA (1°42.008’ W 048°54.009’), to study the feasibility of commercial breeding of wildlife in that region. Interviews were conducted with vendors and customers of the local street fair; local fauna destined for food consumption was monitored in the year 2005; riverside communities were visited and interviews conducted with the inhabitants of Capim, Xingu and Quianduba islands; captive breeding know-how of local rural producers was verified. Approximately 5,970 kg of wildlife meat belonging to eight ethno-species (opossums, deers, capybaras, paca, armadillos, black caiman, spectacled caiman e matamata) were sold at the local street faire, capybaras and caiman accounting for most of the sales, 64% and 34% respectively. Vendors were financially highly dependent on this activity, which generated a monthly income of as much as 600 reais. Consumers in Abaetetuba or near regions would purchase these products mostly due to cultural habits rather than for financial reasons. The primary subsistence activities (fishing and extraction of cabbage palm’s fruit) practiced by riverside populations have been declining or do not meet their feeding necessities. Hunting is still a common practice for some of the riverside inhabitants. 55 (38%) of them have hunted at least once in the one year period before this research was conducted and removed a total of 68 small sized animals, including opossums, agouties, armadillos, pacas, spiny rats and iguanas. Local farmers mentioned as favorable factors for breeding wildlife animals the protection of wildlife species and income generation; and as unfavorable the lack of technical and financial support, red tape, and high production costs. The formation of a participative management system, involving the community, government and private sectors is mentioned as a necessary condition for the implementation of commercial breeding of wildlife animals in this municipality.
