Previous issue date: 2015-09-25 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The ecological knowledge, derived from human handling natural resources, is related to each individual perception of the environment where one lives. This study had as main goals, evaluate the ecological knowledge and the environmental perception of a rural community towards primates, located in the surroundings of the Private Reserve of Natural
Heritage (RPPN) “Engenho Gargaú”, in the state of Paraíba, where Alouatta belzebul (redhanded howler monkey), Sapajus flavius (blond capuchin monkey) and Callithrix jacchus (common marmoset) species live. Two hundred semi-structured interviews with adults were The ecological knowledge, derived from human handling natural resources, is related to each
individual perception of the environment where one lives. This study had as main goals,
evaluate the ecological knowledge and the environmental perception of a rural community
towards primates, located in the surroundings of the Private Reserve of Natural
Heritage (RPPN) “Engenho Gargaú”, in the state of Paraíba, where Alouatta belzebul (redhanded
howler monkey), Sapajus flavius (blond capuchin monkey) and Callithrix jacchus
(common marmoset) species live. Two hundred semi-structured interviews with adults were
performed and one hundred and two children’s mental maps were collected. The answers from
the interviews were evaluated by the Thematic Content Analysis and they received specific
scores to formulate a wise Local Ecological Knowledge measure (CELP). In spite of the
proximity with RPPN “Engenho Gargaú” the interviewed adults had a poor ecological
knowledge. However, the ones who had a more significant contact with primates, the man and
residents who lived longer in the community showed a significantly higher CELP compared to
the other residents. The age group did not influence the CELP results. Apparently, the
community does not overly explore RPPN resources, justifying the poor ecological knowledge
among residents. According to the mental maps, the children who had already seen primates
showed a more realistic and detailed environmental perception than the ones who had never
seen primates, showing a bigger contact with the environment and, possibly, with the RPPN.
These data are able to help future researches and Environmental Education actions, specifically
involving A. belzebul and S. flavius from RPPN “Engenho Gargaú”, two of the five target
species included in the Brazilian government conservation action planning system “Plano de Ação Nacional para Conservação dos Primatas do Nordeste” (PAN PriNE).

relacionado com a percepção que cada indivíduo tem do ambiente em que vive. O presente
estudo teve por objetivos avaliar o conhecimento ecológico e a percepção ambiental sobre
primatas por uma comunidade rural no entorno da Reserva Particular do Patrimônio
Natural (RPPN) Engenho Gargaú, na Paraíba, onde habitam as espécies Alouatta belzebul
(guariba-de-mãos-ruivas), Sapajus flavius (macaco-prego-galego) e Callithrix jacchus (saguido-nordeste).
Foram realizadas 200 entrevistas semiestruturadas com adultos e coletados 102
mapas mentais de crianças. As respostas das entrevistas foram avaliadas pela Análise de
Conteúdo Temático que receberam pesos específicos para formulação de uma medida
ponderada do Conhecimento Ecológico Local (CELP). Apesar da proximidade com a RPPN
Engenho Gargaú, os adultos apresentaram um baixo conhecimento ecológico. No entanto, os
que possuem um maior contato com os primatas, os homens e os moradores mais antigos
apresentaram um CELP significativamente mais elevado comparado aos demais. A faixa etária
não influenciou no CELP. A comunidade aparentemente não explora intensamente recursos da
RPPN, justificando o baixo conhecimento encontrado no local. De acordo com os mapas
mentais, as crianças que já avistaram primatas mostraram uma percepção ambiental mais
realista e detalhada do que aquelas que nunca avistaram, evidenciando um maior contato com
o meio ambiente e, possivelmente, com a RPPN. Tais dados podem subsidiar futuras pesquisas
e ações de Educação Ambiental, especificamente envolvendo A. belzebul e S. flavius da RPPN
Engenho Gargaú, duas das cinco espécies alvo do Plano de Ação Nacional para Conservação
dos Primatas do Nordeste (PAN PriNE).
