RESUMO:

Despite the rich diversity of wildlife in Brazil, approximately 1,182 species face the risk of extinction, raising concerns about environmental protection and ecological balance. Despite the creation of laws, environmental agencies, and public policies aimed at protecting wildlife, there has been an increase in the removal of animals from their natural habitats, along with a scarcity of studies dedicated to the theme, compromising conservation efforts. Mato Grosso has been facing environmental challenges, such as impacts caused by economic activities. Thus, this research aims to analyze the rescue, seizure, and destination of wildlife in Mato Grosso, with emphasis on birds, reptiles, and mammals, as part of the ongoing conservation effort. Through the collection and analysis of data provided by SEMA-MT, it was possible to obtain an overview of wildlife rescue and management in the state, identifying limitations and gaps in records, dominant groups, origin, management, mortality and survival rates, and their destination. From 2015 to April 2022, 2,232 rescues were recorded, with 1,636 birds, 369 mammals, and 227 reptiles. There was mortality of 336 wild animals, and 1,711 of them could return to nature. While 149 animals were immediately released, and 184 underwent gradual release, 260 collected animals were referred for specialized treatment before being released into nature. Additionally, there are challenges to be overcome in wildlife rescue and destination actions in Mato Grosso, such as gaps in records and deficiencies in information description. Therefore, this study highlights the importance and need to create a comprehensive approach to wildlife conservation, emphasizing the need for effective measures, improvement of records, and greater attention to challenges to promote the protection of wildlife.
