RESUMO:

Sustainable Use Protected Areas (SU-PAs) are a subgroup of PAs in Brazil that allows both the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable exploration of natural resources, which are regulated by Management Plans that create zones to avoiding conflicts of interest. SU-PAs are key to maintaining biodiversity for their big size, and offer a great opportunity for conserving medium and large-bodied mammals (e.g., armadillos, large rodents, ungulates, large carnivores), especially in the Amazon. However, SU-PAs are usually affected both by internal and external pressures, and different parts of the same SU-PA may present distinct conservation values. We sampled mammals using camera traps in areas with distinct histories of human occupation in the Tapajós National Forest (TNF), and show differences in species richness, assemblage structure, number of records per species, and levels of defaunation and conservation. Although we cannot infer a causal effect, a compilation of other studies conducted in similar sites of the TNF suggest that human activities may have driven populations of some large-bodied mammal species such as the tapir and white-lipped peccary to very low levels. Local differences in human occupation uses within the same SU-PA are common in the Amazon, especially those with an extensive area, which demands specific actions from public authorities to minimize impacts on wildlife caused by both legal and illegal activities.
