What is Manatee Exploitation in Brazil (1785-1973) about?
The document analyzes the commercial exploitation of the Amazonian manatee Trichechus inunguis in Brazil from 1785 to 1973, highlighting trends in hunting and its impact on the species. It notes that manatee hunting was primarily for subsistence, with limited commercial export, and that exploitation peaked in the mid-20th century before a legal ban was enacted in 1973. Despite the ban, subsistence hunting continues, and while population estimates are lacking, there is no solid evidence of a current decline
