| Summary: | Traditionally the inhabitants of the Andean region have taken advantage of the different groups of invertebrate and verte-brate fauna. However, although the fauna in Colombia is well known from the systematic point of view, there is a huge in-formation gap on use related issues. The overall objective of this study was to identify the knowledge of the inhabitants of the municipality of San Antonio del Tequendama and evalu-ate how they use wildlife. From surveys of rural and urban population six types of use were identified that involve espe-cially mammals and birds. Subsistence hunting, use as pets and beliefs or medicinal uses play an important role and are indicators to strengthen conservation programs that involve local communities. |
