Type: article
Abstract: Trafficking in wild animals constitutes a great threat to biodiversity, being one of the most significant factors in the destruction of fauna, especially in countries like Brazil, which have high rates of animal trafficking. Through this bibliographical analysis, we aim to carry out an analysis of the entire cycle of wild animal trafficking, involving the stages of capture, transport, custody and commercialization, thus creating an overview of the practice in Brazil. Issues related to the illegal trade of wild animals in the Northeast region were also analyzed through partial data obtained from scientific papers, monographs and official data. The songbirds of the orders Passeriformes and Psitaciformes are the favorites for the illegal trade, mainly to serve as companion animals. Existing problems in the fight against trafficking were also analyzed, such as the lack of organized and systematized data and the lack of a contingent in inspection and seizure actions.
