A relevância e os desafios do monitoramento pós-soltura de animais silvestres: uma revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

The biodiversity crisis, directly related to human actions that disrupt the environment, has placed species from different habitats at risk of extinction. Because of this, areas of knowledge such as Reintroduction Biology seek to mitigate these consequences generated at the expense of anthropogenic actions in different ways, through conservationist translocations. Post-release monitoring is an extremely important step to evaluate the conditions and variables of conservation translocations, requiring careful planning with well-defined criteria. Given this scenario, the present work carried out an integrative review on post-release monitoring of conservation translocations, identifying problems and proposing possible solutions. Using the Parsifal tool and the PRISMA reference selection model, the articles found were analyzed to select specific information, categorized according to the objectives of the work. Through a search in two databases (Web of science and Scopus), 174 articles were found, among which 28 articles were selected for analysis of the information presented. The analyzes were performed in RStudio. As main results, a taxonomic group view was presented, in which mammals are more involved in translocation projects, travel from geographic regions that publish and carry out more translocation work (Australia) and a trend in relation to monitoring time, which generally speaking, it is short-term. This study contributes to advancing knowledge about scientific production on conservation translocations, highlighting the relevance of studies on post-release monitoring and the need for more publications on the topic. It is recommended that similar studies be carried out in less explored regions and expand the taxonomic and geographic scope of research.
