Levantamento da avifauna recebida pelo centro de triagem de animais silvestres do Estado de Goiás

Abstract

Brazil has great wildlife biodiversity, being considered a megadiverse country. Among the biomes that make up Brazilian biodiversity, the Cerrado stands out, being considered the richest savanna in the world. However, anthropic actions have directly and indirectly affected local biodiversity and, in order to guarantee the conservation of wild fauna, the Wild Animal Screening Center (CETAS) acts in the reception and proper handling of these animals. This study aimed to carry out a survey of bird species that entered CETAS-GO between 2007 and 2019, in order to quantify the species that most entered CETAS, the years with the highest amounts of receipt, assess the status of extinction risks species and analyze the possible reasons that lead these animals to CETAS. Therefore, from the data provided by CETAS, it was possible to verify that most entries occurred by seizure, highlighting the years 2008, 2016 and 2017 with the highest numbers. Among the 28 orders of birds verified, the following stood out: Passeriformes (55.93%); Psittaciformes (24.96%); Strigiformes (4.45%); Piciformes (2.4%); Columbiformes (2.33%); Cathartiformes (2.32%); Falconiformes (1.48%) and Accipitriforms (1.4%) with the main entries. Thraupidae and Psittacidae were the most representative families and Sicalis flaveola stood out in terms of the species with the highest number of individuals that entered this period. Among the 326 species verified, only 6 are at risk of extinction, namely: Padda oryzivora; Leucogaster pionites; Pyrrhura pfrimeri; Spinus cucullatus; Sporophila maximiliani; Sporophila palustris. The synthesis of these data can be used to define management strategies within CETAS, to guide the main types of enclosures, as well as to choose the release areas. With that, it can contribute with actions to protect wild fauna.
