Urbanização e conflitos com fauna silvestre: ações e percepções da ONG Voluntários da Fauna

Abstract

This study analyzed, through interviews with five veterinarians linked to the NGO Voluntários da Fauna, and the observation of the NGO's social networks, the perceptions and actions of this organization in relation to wildlife conflicts in urban areas, as well as the view of professionals in the involvement of the population with the work of the NGO and how this is shared with the society. It was possible to perceive, from this analysis, not only the types of conflicts, but also the professional view about human involvement in the generation of such conflicts. As a way of deepening the subject and stimulating society's awareness, it was proposed, as an environmental action, the development of a podcast media, due to the popularity of the media and potential for deepening and informal education about environmental problems.
