El comercio internacional de fauna silvestre tiene una amplia historia resultando en la casi desaparición de algunas poblaciones. Esta actividad es una importante alternativa económica, tanto para la conservación de las especies como para su aprovechamiento sostenible por las comunidades rurales. Se realizó un diagnóstico de las exportaciones entre el 2001 y 2017, evaluando la cadena de valor, especies comercializadas, modalidades de exportación, oferta y demanda, destinos, categorías de amenaza nacional e internacional de las principales especies y percepción de involucrados en fauna silvestre. Información sobre la comercialización internacional se obtuvo mediante el sistema de operatividad aduanera, la percepción mediante entrevistas y la situación actual de las especies mediante los grados de amenaza nacional e internacional. En la cadena de valor se identificaron debilida...

The first documented record of Puma yagouaroundi (É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1803) is reported for the Coto de Caza El Angolo, a protected natural area located in Piura, northern Peru. The record was obtained on March 16, 2024, in the Sauce Grande sector, as part of a cumulative camera-trap monitoring effort totaling 8,975 camera-days. Cameras were strategically placed along trails and natural waterholes frequently used by wildlife. The Coto de Caza El Angolo forms part of the Equatorial Dry Forest, an arid ecosystem characterized by a pronounced rainy season between January and March, which significantly affects resource availability and species distribution. The presence of P. yagouaroundi increases the number of felid species documented in the area to four, alongside Puma concolor, Leopardus pardalis, and Leopardus colocola. This finding underscores the importance of the Coto as crit...

The international trade in wildlife has a long history resulting in the near disappearance of some populations. This activity is an important economic alternative, both for the conservation of the species and for their sustainable use by the rural communities. A diagnosis of exports was carried out between 2001 and 2017, evaluating the value chain, commercialized species, export modalities, supply and demand, destinations, national and international threat categories of the main species and perception of those involved in wildlife. Information on international trade was obtained through the customs operation system, the perception through interviews and the current status of the species through the national and international levels of threat. In the value chain weaknesses were identified to be improved, such as avoiding data loss, guaranteeing the traceability of the resource and improvi...
