“…Although the numbers of ecotourism in the Amazon are not accurate, regarding the number of tourists and where they are from, as well as the preferred places to practice the activity, the Amazon is essential to promote the sustainable development of the region (Alves et al 2013). In the state of Amazonas, ecotourism activities are largely focused on observing the wildlife, contemplating the nature and having contact with residents of traditional communities (MinTur, 2010;Coelho, 2013;D'Cruze et al, 2017;Santos et al, 2019).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected tourism worldwide. This paper examines the impacts of pandemic on companies and professionals related to ecotourism in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. For this purpose, we sent online structured questionnaire to workers in the sector, whose participation was voluntary and anonymous. We had 44 responses from seven macro-regions in the state, most of which were guides and workers in the market for over 15 years. For 91% of respondents, the pandemic totally affected personal or company turnover. Strategies to minimize impacts were adopted in 97% of cases, such as cancellation or rescheduling. The turnover forecast for the remainder of 2020 was very high for 38.6% of respondents. The budget recovery forecast is of at least two years for 43.2% of the cases. The professionals related to ecotourism in Amazonas had their activities affected and the perspective is for a slow recovery, resulting in vulnerability for the activity. Brazil's current image abroad, referring to the weak implementation of actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, represents a risk to the activity in Amazonas. Public policies are of utmost importance to recover the ecotourism and the valorization of the different actors and companies related to this tourist segment. Keywords: Amazon; Coronavirus; Social isolation; Protected area; Tourism.

“…Brazilian environmental legislation does not contain any regulations prohibiting the artificial feeding of wildlife. However, such activity is banned by the internal regulations of protected areas such as Serra dos Órgãos National Park, in Rio de Janeiro, and Iguaçu National Park in Paraná [33,34]. Despite the lack of a federal regulation banning the feeding of wildlife, Law 9,605/1998 does establish a penalty of three months to one year of imprisonment, plus a fine, to any person involved in harassment, mistreatment, harm or mutilation of wild animals, domestic or domesticated, native or exotic.…”

“…The dissemination of Amazon River dolphin related tourism at Anavilhanas National Park led to the activity being carried out in six other places along the Lower Negro River over time, each one located within state protected areas [34,37], and at three other locations in the municipalities of Cametá, Mocajuba and Santarém, in the state of Pará (Figure 1).…”

Being considered charismatic cetaceans are among the animals most sought after in tourist interactions that may involve observation, touch, swimming, and provisioning food. This tourism model has the potential to generate socioeconomic and conservationist benefits. However, when carried out in a disorderly manner, this can have a negative impact on cetaceans and tourists alike. In this chapter, we discuss the challenges and advances within the process of participatory planning of tourism with Amazon River dolphins (Inia geoffrensis). Our goal is to present strategies that can support the development of projects and public policies aimed at management of wildlife tourism in other areas. Since its implementation at the Anavilhanas National Park-Brazil, the activity had never had its impact monitored by any competent bodies, and this has led to problems and quick spreading to other sites. The rules and guidelines implemented in have significantly reduced risks for tourists and dolphins alike, improving tourist experience and promoting the awareness of animal life. However, many issues remain and need to be solved, especially in the protected areas. These include reduced staff levels, which limits the ability to implement and monitor planned actions. Such shortcomings lead to setbacks in the development of tourist activities with cetaceans.

“…Casos semelhantes têm sido observados, por exemplo, no Complexo Estuarino de Cananeia para observação de botos-cinza (FILLA et al, 2012) e no Parque Nacional de Anavilhanas para observação de boto-daAmazônia (ALVES et al, 2013). Na Refauts, durante 16 dias de amostragem, mais de 4.700 turistas realizaram o passeio de barco para observação de botos-cinza.…”

RESUMOO turismo de observação de cetáceos (TOC) pode contribuir para a conservação destes e para o desenvolvimento econômico local. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o turismo de observação de botos-cinza, de forma a subsidiar o plano de manejo da Reserva Faunística Costeira de Tibau do Sul (Refauts). Durante as expedições à área de estudo, foram realizadas entrevistas com mestres de embarcação, censos e vistorias nas embarcações licenciadas e registro do fluxo do TOC. Foram registradas 11 embarcações licenciadas operando na Refauts, 368 passeios durante 16 dias de amostragem e um total de 4.717 turistas. Verificou-se, em 30% dos registros, que os mestres de embarcação não costumam cumprir a determinação prevista em lei quanto à limitação do número de barcos nas enseadas. Ainda sobre os resultados, vale mencionar que o TOC na Refauts vem desempenhando um papel importante na economia local, contudo é preciso que um plano de ação seja implantado, para assegurar a conservação do boto-cinza na Reserva.Palavras-chave: Boto-cinza. Conservação. Ecoturismo. Reserva Faunística Costeira de Tibau do Sul. Turismo de Observação de Golfinhos.
