With the aim of providing an information baseline about wild life hunting of peasant communities in the Amazon foothills, a list of species evaluated in three sectors of the Alto Fragua Indi Wasi National Natural Park in the department of Caquetá is presented: Fragua Grande, Fragua Chorroso and Pescado, obtained within the framework of the characterization of wildlife hunting activity that was developed between the months of April and December 2018. The list was obtained of 43 semi-structured interviews that were carried out with peasant communities and personal observations of the activity. A total of 20 species of cinegetic use belonging to the classes Aves (3 species) and Mammalia (17 species) were registered. Of the registered species it was found that three of them are in vulnerable state (VU), one in critical state (CR) according to the Resolution 1912 of 2017 for Colombia were reported and according to the IUCN classification, 13 of them were at lower critical (LC), 5 of them in a vulnerable state (VU) and one was nearly-threatened (NT). The list presented and its state of conservation contribute to the management of wild life hunting within protected area.
