dc.description.abstract
The Gran Chaco region is an area of vast cultural and biological richness that is
inhabited by different American indigenous hunter-gatherer groups and has a great
number of threatened wildlife species. An ethnozoological investigation was carried
out to study the medicinal uses of fauna by the Toba (qom) communities of Central
Chaco in the surroundings of the Bermejito River. Qualitative, quantitative and
participative methods were used alternately to document and characterize the
knowledge, significance and role of animals from the Chaco forest within the Toba
cultural and medical context. A total of 199 uses corresponding to 72 species
belonging to 52 families were documented as part of the animal pharmacopoeia
employed by the natives. Information obtained by open and semistructured
interviews was used to develop an Index of Local Conservation Priorities (ILCP) that
allowed ordering the species according to their Relative Importance, Ecological and
Cultural Value, and Conservation Status. Our results showed that of the wide range
of species used in Toba zootherapy, a substantial number of reptiles, mammals and
birds are included in lists of threatened species for Argentina. The ethnozoological
perspective of this study provides an integral view of social and ecological elements
that are useful for the protection and/or sustainable management of native species
on a regional scale.
