Coexistencia humanos-mamíferos silvestres

manejo integral y participación social

Abstract

It is important to acknowledge the role of wild mammals in maintaining ecological balance and contributing to human culture. However, it is also crucial to recognise that their interactions with people can sometimes result in conflict, particularly when they attack livestock or cause crop damage. However, it is important to acknowledge the crucial role these animals play in the ecosystem, as pest controllers and seed dispersers. In Mexico, for example, there is a rich tapestry of cultural myths and legends that reflect community perceptions of these animals. It is therefore vital to care for and coexist with these species to prevent environmental problems. Some species, such as the tuza, contribute to soil fertility, while others are part of the food chain. It is therefore suggested that coexistence with these species is crucial to avoid environmental problems, and that the use of biological control is recommended to maintain ecological functions, as well as social participation in the management of strategies for coexistence.
