Through the use of various strategies and tools of qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches, it was possible to identify a national normative structure constituted by a dozen referents that establish 12 figures as possible post-confiscation destinations for wildlife, of which only the release and the passing home or network of friends are used in the department in a partial or modified way, so the environmental authorities must socialize and train the community in general, on the existence of rescue centers or centers of attention and assessment - CAV; care, assessment and rehabilitation center - CAVR; but especially of the network of friends of the wildlife, wildlife owners, zoocriaderos, museums and natural history collections, passages and zoos, promoting and facilitating its implementation. Among the most frequently received animal groups, birds were first identified, with the outstanding participation of parrots and parrots; followed by mammals, especially primates, sloths, anteaters, and opossums, among others, and finally, reptiles, being charapas, morrocoyes and iguanas, the most frequently identified.
