Abstract

The objectives of this study were to record and describe the interactions multiple culturally established between residents of the rural Tapiíra community, located on the Unini river, Negro river, with all of local wildlife; assessing the interaction diversity forms and reproduction are practices as influenced by factors of gender and generation. Among the selection criteria for the research Tapiíra community, are its location - far from urban centers - the presence of schools with basic education, population density and, crucially, by being inserted into a mosaic of units conservation . Another important issue was the possibility of contributing to the studies of fauna, not known for their simple quantification of animals and / or its variability, habitat etc., but that has as its central focus the interactions/relationships as culturally established between men and animals and may contribute a further reference that enables the success of future management projects in wildlife conservation units of sustainable use, since, even with the creation of many protected areas, projects for the establishment of wild animals can not have continuity and economic sustainability desired. Tapiíra similarity in community knowledge of wildlife pervades (or not) by the habitus of a particular group and that the habitus as a structuring structure that is both structured, differs in relation to sex and age, resulting in higher levels of knowledge or lower on a particular topic concerning wildlife. The category is important because if the residents of the reservation should participate in conservation efforts of the local fauna is sine qua non to be understood and taken into account their social roles of men and women as protagonists of conservation actions, because they reveal the strategies socialization practices of management of wild fauna and also the changes in behavior and perception, which in part are influenced by political changes, such as the creation of protected areas.
