“…This is the first study to show that, in the state of Amazonas, birds have little representation among wild vertebrates trafficked and seized. This situation differs from several other locations in Brazil, where birds make up much of the fauna seized by environmental agencies [14,[30][31][32][33], reflecting the popularity of this taxon mainly as pets in Brazil [3,14,34,35].…”

This study evaluates the seizure of birds in the state of Amazonas during twenty years (1992-2011), providing information on the sale of birds in a state recognized for its significant biodiversity. We compiled a total of 2,698 seizure records of illegal wildlife trade, which were drawn up and issued by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources-IBAMA (the Brazilian official agency for environmental license and patrol) in the state of Amazonas, during 240 months. Reports of birds seized were found in only 297 (11%) of the seizure records analyzed. The number of bird specimens ranged from 3 to 710 per year, and the taxonomic richness ranged from 1 to 24 species. Considering all seizures, there was a richness of 40 bird species, distributed in 16 families and 10 orders. Among the families analyzed, Thraupidae was the richest, with 17 species, followed by Psittacidae, with eight species. The order Passeriformes was the most represented, with 12 genera, where Sporophila was the richest, with nine species (22.5% of total species). The Saffron Finch (Sicalis flaveola-Linnaeus, 1766), Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata-Linnaeus, 1758) and Chestnut-bellied Seed-Finch (Sporophila angolensis-Linnaeus, 1766) together accounted for more than half (56.9%) of the total birds seized for the period. Of the species recorded in this study, five (12.5%) were listed as Endangered. Our results suggest that the illegal trade of animals in Amazonas shows a pattern different from that which has been reported in other Brazilian states. Birds were little represented in the Amazon, and the main reason for their illegal trade was related to their use as food. In addition to the cultural aspects, the richness of vertebrates in the Amazon certainly influences the choice of animals used and marketed in the Amazon region.

“…Os dados confirmam os resultados obtidos em âmbito nacional, nos quais pesquisas afirmam que no Brasil a maior parte da fauna apreendida é composta por aves (BASTOS et al, 2008;FREITAS et. al., 2015;MOURA et al, 2012;RENCTAS, 2001;LIMA, 2014 Acredita-se que a dificuldade de fiscalização enfrentada pelos profissionais da área e o pouco investimento em combate a essa prática, torna o tráfico de fauna silvestre cada vez mais promissor, tendo em vista à dificuldade de se cumprir a lei pela falta de apreensão do infrator (RENCTAS, 2001).…”

De forma geral, há necessidade de planejamento adequado, sistematizado e recursos suficientes para o êxito das operações contra a retirada dos animais silvestres do seu habitat natural de forma ilegal (BASTOS et al, 2008).…”

The Wild Animal Sorting Centers -CETAS are institutions responsible for receiving wild animals. They animals were rescued from domestic captivity, from seizures during inspections by government agents in actions against illegal trafficking, and from environment accidents. The majority (90.9%) are controlled by IBAMA and only 9.1% by the private sector. This worked aims at doing a survey of the species of wild animals received by the CETAS in Rio Branco -Acre from 2010 to 2014, and evaluating the conservationist implications involved. During that time span 2,320 animals were received, comprising 1,097 birds (47.2%), 720 reptiles (31.0%), 498 mammals (21.4%) and 5 fish (0.2%). From the animals rescued, 0.6% belong to the list of species threatened with extinction. Despite the inspections carried out by IBAMA and by the environment police, threatened species continue to be predatorily taken out from their habitats, especially birds, which are the most attacked group, considering the number of animals received for CETAS.

“…Além disso, as atitudes e cuidados governamentais quanto ao uso e à destinação da fauna apreendida devem ser avaliados de forma técnica, legal e ética, sendo obrigação das autoridades constituídas proporcionarem destino apropriado aos animais apreendidos, viabilizando a implantação de locais adequadamente constituídos e equipados, onde sejam efetuadas a identificação e a triagem dos exemplares, além da reabilitação ou da destinação para programas de criação e manutenção em cativeiro (BASTOS et al, 2008).…”
