The research describes traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) in relation to the hunting of wildlife species that are used by the Awajún and Wampis peoples in the Tuntanain Communal Reserve (RCT) and identifies its potential for application in the management of wildlife within the Protected Natural Area. The information on the hunting activity carried out by the communities of the Executor of the Administration Contract of the Tuntanain Communal Reserve (ECA-RCT) is analyzed, obtained from group meetings with specialized hunters. The regulatory framework of SERNANP is reviewed in aspects related to the use of wildlife resources and main spaces for the application of TEK in the management of the RCT are identified. Testimonies have been collected from representatives of the State and indigenous organizations. As a result, in 2012, 17 species of mammals and 18 species of birds were identified as the most desired for hunting within the RCT. Since 2021, the communities signed a conservation agreement with the Reserve management and the ECA Tuntanain, committing to actions to protect the reserve and wildlife, such as respecting the species considered in DS 004-2014- MINAGRI. It was recorded that TEK includes knowledge about the biology, ethology and ecology of wildlife species of importance for hunting, as well as a mystical and spiritual aspect. The SERNANP and the communities share the same objectives of conservation of the RCT and wildlife, but the spaces for participation and inclusion of the TEK are not enough, a real intercultural approach is missing. In conclusion, it is found that indigenous TEK knowledge is broad, useful for the management of RCT and requires being organized for its better understanding, assessment and implementation. Just as important as valuing TEK is recognizing indigenous rights and the need to build joint conservation strategies for RCT from the Awajún and Wampis perspective as protagonists of the process and hand in hand with scientific knowledge.
