Abstract We present the results of a rapid ecological assessment conducted in 2012 in the community of Boanamo, in the Waorani Ethnic Reserve and Yasuní National Park, Orellana and Pastaza provinces, Ecuadorian Amazon. The study included surveys and observations of mammals by different methodologies over a 16-day sampling period. The results show the presence of 89 species of mammals, but there are several other mammal species expected in the area, increasing the projected diversity to 119 species, a high diverse community when compared with similar locations. Statistical analyses show that Boanamo is an area of high species richness and heterogeneity, consistent with comparable surveys in other areas of primary lowland rainforest in Amazonia. In addition, we documented nine distinct ways and 130 different usages in which 43 species are utilized in Boanamo. To estimate the importance of mammal diversity, we used a Cultural Importance Index, which shows that the species with the highest value are Panthera onca and Nasua nasua. However, the most frequently hunted species were Tayassu pecari and Lagothrix lagothricha. Our final conclusion is the community of Boanamo is entirely dependent on the surrounding forest, and mammals are an important part of their culture and subsistence.

厄瓜多尔瓦奥拉尼地区、奥雷利亚纳省和帕斯塔萨省 Boanamo 土著社区哺乳动物的物种丰富度和民族动物学注释

摘要 我们展示了 2012 年在博阿纳莫社区、瓦奥拉尼民族保护区和亚苏尼国家公园、奥雷利亚纳省和帕斯塔萨省、厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区进行的快速生态评估的结果。该研究包括在 16 天的采样期内通过不同方法对哺乳动物进行调查和观察。结果显示存在 89 种哺乳动物，但该地区预计还有其他几种哺乳动物，预计多样性将增加到 119 种，与类似地点相比，这是一个高度多样化的群落。统计分析表明，博阿纳莫是一个物种丰富度和异质性高的地区，与亚马逊原始低地雨林其他地区的可比调查一致。此外，我们记录了 9 种不同的方式和 130 种不同的用法，其中 43 种物种在 Boanamo 中被利用。为了估计哺乳动物多样性的重要性，我们使用了文化重要性指数，该指数表明价值最高的物种是 Panthera onca 和 Nasua nasua。然而，最常被猎杀的物种是 Tayassu pecari 和 Lagothrix lagothricha。我们的最终结论是 Boanamo 社区完全依赖于周围的森林，哺乳动物是其文化和生存的重要组成部分。
