Etnografia e manejo de recursos naturais pelos índios Deni, Amazonas, Brasil
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2009-03) PEZZUTI, Juarez Carlos Brito; CHAVES, Rodrigo Pádua
Studies concerning the use of multiple natural resources by Amazonian indians are scarce. This work presents a portrait of how the Deni Indians, inhabitants of an area between two of the most important white-water rivers of the Amazon basin (Juruá and Purus Rivers), exploit natural resources in their territory. The Deni exploit both the upland and floodplain forests. They are a mix of horticulturalists and hunter-gatherers, using their whole territory to obtain what they need to live. As a rule, they move their settlements periodically, avoiding local resource depletion. The Deni modify the landscape at a local level, causing an increase in resource availability. Abandoned villages, fruit orchards and crops are places where floristic and faunistic resources concentrate and are systematically exploited. The impacts of such management are apparently minimal. For the Deni society natural resources are the only way to get goods for survival, but it is inserted in the periphery of a capitalist system which exploits and will continue to exploit natural resources in order to produce a surplus for the acquisition of industrialized products, independently of external judgements. This should be the starting point to evaluate sustainability in this local management system.

Hunting is an important socioeconomic and cultural activity for human populations, including riverine and indigenous ones. Although it is also practiced by urban populations, studies considering these actors are still scarce. Our objective was to characterize hunting by urban dwellers in three cities located in the west stretch of the Transamazon Highway in Pará. The research consisted of semi-structured interviews and informal conversations. The following characteristics were characterized: i) hunted animals, ii) employed techniques, iii) hunters 'socioeconomic profile, and iv) influence of species characteristics on hunters' preference or rejection. Interviews took place between March and May 2019. Principal Coordinate Analyzes were used to determine the most important characteristics in hunters' choice or rejection of species. 59 men were interviewed, 16 in Altamira, 24 in Brasil Novo and 19 in Medicilândia. Most of the interviewees had local origin (61%), incomplete elementary (46%) or high school (29%) and monthly income ≤1,500 reais (68%). Hunting is more frequent during drought, using the waiting technique (91%). Most respondents hunt in forested areas (86%), relatively close to cities. Twenty-one species were mentioned, including 15 mammals, 4 birds and 2 reptiles. Cuniculus paca (paca), Tayassu pecari (peccary), Mazama americana (red deer), and armadillos (Dasypodidae) were the most hunted species. The size, taste of meat, availability and existence of conflicts with agricultural activity were the main characteristics determining the preference of hunters. Ten species, including primates and tapirs (Tapirus terrestis), were rejected mainly due to their appearance, availability and taste of meat.

Saberes e práticas tradicionais sobre recursos faunísticos e cultura alimentar na comunidade quilombola do Jacarequara, município de Santa Luzia do Pará, Amazônia Oriental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-01-27) AVIZ, Manoel Fagno; FITA, Dídac Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4290251127696280
This dissertation goals to describe and analyze the knowledge and practices involved with faunal resources in the Quilombola Community of Jacarequara, in the municipality of Santa Luzia do Pará, Northeast of Pará state, Eastern Amazon. From an ethnozoological approach, the principal aim of this research was to understand the role of faunal resources in food culture and, in ensuring food security for the families observed. Participant observation, semi-structured interviews, open interviews and free listing were the main methodological tools used in data collection during the fieldwork carried out in 2020. The socioeconomic profile described shows a community made up of families dependent on self-production of food and on income transfer programs for the subsistence of the domestic group. The interviews and observations evidenced an immense diversity of animals present in the local ecological knowledge, included in five types of uses: food, medicinal, ritualistic, artisanal and pet or domestic creation. In addition, the data obtained revealed the very rich ethnozoological knowledge existing in the community, with details of habitats, trophic ecology, ethology and reproductive cycle of the species of interest. Such knowledge proved essential in the design and choices of hunting and fishing strategies. Animal extractives (hunting and fishing) proved to be a fundamental part of the community's daily life, where both practitioners and non-practitioners of these techniques are involved. The faunal resources are important elements in the community's food culture, evidenced by the existing food preferences and rejections, both in the way of preparation and in the way of consumption, as well as in the choice of the animal, also affecting the food restrictions represented in the food taboos system, which it shows itself as a regulator of consumption of certain species. We realized that environmental characteristics are directly linked to food choices, therefore environmental impacts in the region would have a great influence on the community's food culture, which could affect the food security of families. In conclusion, faunal socio-biodiversity plays a fundamental role in ensuring food and nutrition security and the food culture of the investigated quilombola community.

The Amazon basin has a potential for harnessing its water resources, which has been explored by building hydroelectric plants to meet the growing demand for energy generation. However, hydroelectric plants cause great transformations in the use of natural resources, such as fishing and the use of forest resources. This is the case of the construction of the Belo Monte hydroelectric plant (UHE) on the Xingu River, west of Pará. In the research, we studied what changes occurred in the use of medicinal plants, fishing, and hunting after the construction of the Belo Monte UHE, in six communities in region of Volta Grande do Xingu. 45 semi-structured interviews were carried out, with the application of tests with families who live next to the river after the construction of the Belo Monte HPP and who exercise or have already used flora, hunting and fishing activities, both for commercial purposes and for consumption. domestic. The frequency of use of each species for hunting, medicinal plants and fishing was observed. There was a reduction in species appreciated for consumption of fish and wild animals (game). In the use of medicinal plants, andiroba obtained the highest frequency of use. Thus, considering the results, that the use of medicinal plants in riverside families occurred after the construction of the Belo Monte HPP, for fishing and hunting there was a reduction of species appreciated for consumption, and consequently these factors provoke changes in the way of life of riverside families.
