The main objective of this study was to diagnose the implications of the consumption of bushmeat from five commonly hunted species of wildlife (Agouti paca “majas,“ Dasyprocta variegata “añuje,“ Mazama americana “venado colorado,“ Tayassu tajacu “sajino,“ and Dasypus novemcinctus “armadillo“) through surveys conducted in both rural and urban areas of the Leoncio Prado Province (Tingo María — Huánuco). Likewise, criteria and basic guidelines for using and conserving the mentioned species were established. Fifty percent of hunter-farmers obtain bushmeat from secondary forests, while the rest comes from their farms and other locations. Most of the obtained meat from hunting is for subsistence purposes (63.97%), and the remaining portion is destined for sale. The most preferred hunting species are Dasyprocta variegata and Agouti paca. In the urban area, 100% of bushmeat sellers indicated that the meat comes from the Aucayacu area, and its availability remains consistent throughout the year. Additionally, Agouti paca and Dasypus novemcinctus meats were found to be the most preferred by the population. Fifty percent of Tourist Recreational establishments stated that the bushmeat they consume comes from the Aguaytía and San Alejandro Pucallpa areas. Still, they primarily obtain it from sellers at the Central Market of Tingo María (83.33%). Housewives mentioned that the bushmeat they consume primarily comes from the Aucayacu and Pendencia areas (35.29% and 15.49%, respectively). Social actors share a similar preference for the meats they consume, with agouti paca, Mazama americana, and Dasypus novemcinctus meat leading the pack.
