Background and aims: Ecological knowledge of wildlife shows that species are not equally important to human communities. The present work aims to identify the ethnospecies of higher cognitive salience to local people, and to explain their salience based on the cultural value they are assigned. M&...

description Background and aims: Ecological knowledge of wildlife shows that species are not equally important to human communities. The present work aims to identify the ethnospecies of higher cognitive salience to local people, and to explain their salience based on the cultural value they are assigned. M&M: The Sutrop’s cognitive salience index of each ethnospecies and its statistical significance were calculated from fauna free lists. Descriptive statistical and qualitative analysis of uses and perceptions was carried out through the nature's contributions to people categories, using interviews and observation. Results: The free lists recorded a total of 100 ethnospecies, corresponding to birds (58%), mammals (18%), insects (13%), reptiles (7%), and amphibians and arachnids (2% each). Positive and negative contributions were detected in thirty-eight ethnospecies, although only eleven were statistically significant. Among the positive ones, material contributions stand out, followed by non-material and regulating ones. Among the negative, contributions were linked to damage to domestic animals and dangerousness. Additionally, relational and non-anthropocentric values appeared. Discussion and conclusions: Among relevant ethnospecies, those with the greatest number of positive contributions stand out. Also some related to negative perceptions for being responsible for attacks on domestic animals, and their dangerousness. The results provide inputs for policy makers and to re-think the links of local people with the fauna.

Introducción y objetivos: Los conocimientos ecológicos acerca de la fauna silvestre muestran que las especies tienen diferente importancia para las comunidades humanas. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar las etnoespecies de mayor relevancia cognitiva para la población local, y explicar su relevancia en función del valor cultural que se les asigna. M&M: A partir de listados libres de fauna, se calculó el índice de relevancia cognitiva de Sutrop para cada etnoespecie, y se estableció su significancia estadística. A partir de entrevistas y observación, se procedió al análisis cualitativo y estadístico descriptivo de usos y percepciones, por medio de las categorías de contribuciones de la naturaleza para las personas. Resultados: Los listados libres registraron en total 100 etnoespecies, correspondientes a aves (58%), mamíferos (18%), insectos (13%), reptiles (7%), y anfibios y arácnidos (2% c/u). Se detectaron contribuciones positivas y negativas en 38 etnoespecies, aunque solo once resultaron estadísticamente significativas. Entre las positivas resaltan contribuciones materiales, seguidas por las no materiales y reguladoras. Entre las negativas, las vinculadas al daño sobre animales domésticos y a la peligrosidad. Adicionalmente, aparecieron valores relacionales y no antropocéntricos. Discusión y conclusiones: Entre las etnoespecies relevantes destacan aquellas con mayor cantidad de contribuciones positivas. También algunas sobre las que recaen percepciones negativas por ser responsables de los ataques a animales domésticos, y dada su peligrosidad. Los resultados aportan insumos para la formulación de políticas adecuadas de gestión del área protegida y para re-pensar los vínculos de la población local con la fauna.
