É possível integrar pecuária à conservação da biodiversidade? Estudo de casos de depredação de ovinos por onça-parda (Puma concolor)

Abstract: RESUMO: Em diversas partes da América Latina, a perda e diminuição do habitat natural de animais silvestres ocorre em função do aumento das atividades agropecuárias. Nos últimos anos o número de mortes de animais de criação por depredação tem aumentado, bem como a consequente retaliação aos predadores. Como resultado destas ações, ocorre à extinção ou redução das populações destes predadores de topo, provocando perdas ecológicas. Esse estudo teve como objetivo apontar medidas preventivas e mitigatórias da depr… Show more

“…It is important to note that wild predators such as wolves, coyotes, and bears are not present in South America in the area of this study. Brazilian native wild canids do not attack livestock, and the injuries detected in affected animals showed no hallmarks supporting attacks by big wild cats (puma and jaguars) ( 30 , 31 ). In addition, most cases of DAs recorded were witnessed, while other cases evidenced injuries morphologically compatible with dog bites ( 15 , 16 ).…”

“…This includes the creation of nocturnal enclosures with wood, and the use of bells and collars with lights (Corrales-Gutiérrez et al, 2016). However, specially designed electric fences (5-6 wires) are one of the most effective and least costly tools to deter predators and decrease attacks on cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, and poultry (Scognamillo et al, 2002;Schiaffino et al, 2002;Polisar et al, 2003;Torres & Vineyard, 2003;Corrales-Gutiérrez et al, 2016;Ubiali et al, 2018;Khorozyan & Waltert, 2019;Nanni et al, 2020;Lodeiro-Ocampo et al, 2021;Ruffener, 2023). Ranchers should also implement modified grazing practices and management such as housing newborn calves in maternity paddocks to reduce depredation risk (Hoogesteijn & Hoogesteijn, 2011).…”
