Será que a temática da caça no Brasil tem recebido a atenção necessária?

Abstract

Brazilian intertropical region shows high diversity, but it is threatened by a number of factors, including hunting pressure, which has reduced the abundance and diversity of species in different areas of Brazil. Hunting is prohibited in Brazil there is a push for its legalization in special situations. The names of some protected areas make direct reference to the fauna, such as the Fauna Reserve and Wildlife Refuge. Paradoxically, the law prohibits professional hunting and at the same time stimulates the creation of amateur hunting groups, which confuses the understanding of certain articles. Given this situation, the present study aims to critically analyze the theme of hunting in the relevant legislation, addressing the chronology of major laws pertaining to wildlife management, the influence of hunting pressure on the diversity of native species, and finally, the relationship of Conservation Units and exploitation of wildlife resources.
