| Abstract | The traffic of wildlife animals is an old practice and is defined as the removal of free animals to the trade market. In the present paper, we present data on the quantitative and qualitative surveys of caught and spontaneously handed in wild birds to environmental authorities in Santa Maria. In order to do so, we analyzed the protocols of the apprehension by the Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renovaveis (IBAMA) and by the Segunda Companhia Ambiental da Brigada Militar, which perform in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, from 2003 to 2005. As the result of the analysis from the birds caught not only by IBAMA but also by the Segunda Companhia Ambiental da Brigada Militar, it adds up to 1,120 specimens of caught birds and 60 handed in spontaneously to the supervising organs. The specimen mostly caught was Monk Parakeet, Myiopsitta monachus, followed by Paroaria coronata, Nothura maculosa, Cyanoloxia brissonii e Carduellis magellanica which together accounted 57% of the total apprehensions. We found that the agency that has seized the most of the avifauna was the IBAMA and the awareness of the population is still tentative because of the spontaneous deliveries performed by very few people on seizures. |
