摘要

This study evaluated how three conservation approaches implemented by theBrazilian Sea Turtle Conservation Program (the TAMAR Project) are related to localsupport for sea turtle conservation in Praia do Forte, Brazil. Four species of sea turtlesnest in Praia do Forte. In Praia do Forte, locals harvested sea turtles for their meat andeggs on a regular basis to support subsistence needs. The three conservation strategiesanalyzed are employment opportunities and alternative sources of income from sea turtleecotourism; enforcement of federal sea turtle protection laws; and implementation ofenvironmental education programs via sea turtle ecotourism. These conservationstrategies, which are implemented since 1982, represent both top-down and bottom-upconservation paradigms.Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered through nine months of fieldbasedresearch (between May 2006 and September 2008), using tools of participantobservation, semi-structured interviews, and key informant interviews.Results indicate that conservation strategies implemented by TAMAR seem toinfluence local support for sea turtle conservation. Income and environmental educationprograms to the local children are cited as the main benefits sea turtle conservationbrings to the community. Enforcement caused resentment when first implemented, but isnow perceived as a necessary strategy to protect sea turtles. The relative lack ofcommunity participation in sea turtle conservation seems not to have hampered localsupport for sea turtle conservation. In fact, the majority of respondents perceive TAMAR as the most appropriate entity to manage sea turtles, and only a minoritybelieves the community should co-manage sea turtle conservation with TAMAR.Though these three conservation strategies seem to help maintain traditional ecologicalknowledge, the future of this knowledge across generations is uncertain.Though community-based sea turtle conservation is working at the communityscale, external factors associated with tourism development at the larger scale seem toinfluence both livelihoods and sea turtle survival. On a negative side, larger scaletourism development is associated with an increase in the cost of living, the introductionof drugs, violence and greater sense of insecurity, changes in the local fishing culture,and with ongoing threats to sea turtle survival. Tourism development is associated withbenefits as well, including improvements in the local infrastructure, employmentopportunities, and alternative sources of income.Since tourism development, at both local and regional scales, is unlikely todecrease any time soon, sea turtle survival no longer solely depends in getting localsupport for sea turtle conservation, but also in addressing the external factors that driveconservation and consumption of sea turtles. Overall, sea turtle ecotourism is one part ofa larger strategy for meeting local socioeconomic needs while also protecting sea turtlesin Praia do Forte.
