A summarized presentation of the premises that sustain traditional amerindian foraging societies (hunter/gatherers) is indispensable to understanding the nature of society links between predator and prey as well as to understanding resource variability and future availability. A summary of the knowledge available about activities associated with the protein obtention is given for binational amerindian groups living between the Meta and Guainía (Río Negro) rivers. This allows us to point out that traditional hunting and collecting for subsistence have only minor importance as causes of the present scarcity of certain fauna resources. Nevertheless we point out limitations of available field data and the necessity of updating the information to continue studies about sustainability and environmental impacts.
Abstract (es):
La presentación condensada de las premisas que sustentan a las sociedades forrajeras tradicionales (cazadoras recolectoras) amerindias resulta imprescindible para comprender la naturaleza de la vinculación social depredador-presa y las variables que influyen en su variabilidad y perspectivas futuras. Se hace un balance del conocimiento disponible sobre las actividades relacionadas con la obtención de proteínas entre los grupos amerindios binacionales ocupantes de las zonas fronterizas de la Orinoquia entre los ríos Meta y Guainía (Río Negro). La discusión de los resultados permite señalar la escasa importancia de la cacería y recolección
de subsistencia en el agotamiento de ciertos recursos faunísticos. No obstante se señalan las limitaciones y necesidad de actualización de la información de campo para la continuación de los estudios sobre sustentabilidad y evaluación de impactos ambientales.
