Extractive (i.e., the entire organism or parts of the organism are removed from its environment)
If extractive, for the target species, is this use
Lethal
Does this use involve take/extraction of
The whole entire organism
Are specific characteristics/traits being targeted?
Unknown/not recorded
Purpose of Use
Basic subsistence (meeting day to day essential needs)
Recreational
Additional Details (if available)
All interviewees that admitted to hunting (n = 27) engaged in sub- sistence hunting, whereas 14.8% also hunted to protect their crops from herbivores, and 3.7% hunted to protect their family primarily from big cats.
Conservation professionals considered subsistence (100%, n = 10) and sport (90%, n = 10) to be important motivations for hunting in the region.
What is the main end use for any living organisms, parts or products taken/extracted?
Provide Details of resource rights regime where relevant
Although hunting without a permit is illegal, the trip and expense of acquiring a permit was beyond the capacity of most residents, and enforcement in the region was lacking
Is the use part of a strategy to generate conservation incentives, to finance conservation, or to improve tolerance/stewardship?
No
Is there evidence that the use is affecting the conservation status of the species? HIDE
Unknown/not recorded
Is there evidence that the use is affecting natural selection?
Unknown/not recorded
Is there evidence that the use is affecting poaching of illegal wildlife trade?
Unknown/not reported
Is there any evidence that this use of the species is having a knock-on effect on the status of non-target species
Unknown/not recorded
Unknown/not recorded
Yes, considered sustainable
Details of assessment carried out
Although we documented lines of evidence consistent with sustainable harvest under current conditions and reasonable assumptions based on local expertise; however, we identified potential areas of concern given the emerging rapid development and conversion of habitat in the region
That the primary motivation for hunting in the region was to acquire protein for immediate family consumption is consistent with the prob- able sustainability of current hunting methods and intensity, particularly given the relatively low human population density.
Although local areas have been created to protect wildlife and other natural resources, and current harvest rates and conditions suggest sustainability, hunting remains a potential threat to Chacoan and white- lipped peccaries, and thus should be tracked over time
Has a valuation of financial flows from this use at the site/national/international level been recorded
