The different wildlife uses were identified in nine rural localities (indigenous communities and settlers) located in the Colombian Amazonian Trapeze, from the application of 239 semi-structured interviews. The species most used and most hunting pressure through their food experiences, magic-religious, and customs are presented. In total, we identified 73 species of wildlife (35 of mammals, 23 of birds, 11 of reptilian, 2 of coleoptera and 1 of gastropod). The main use of wildlife is feeding, followed by medicinal use and as pets. Parts of animals are used for magic-religious activities, crafts, musical instruments, tools and costumes. It as final product develops a proposal of management of wildlife for the Amazonian trapezium.
