Natural licks are world wide recognized as one of the causes of species spatial distribution. Potentially they can be used as mechanisms of ungulates management as well as a source of resources for the sustained development of areas as the Pantanal Swamp, in the Mato Grosso State. Different mineral elements composition in soils of natural licks act as permanent attraction source for the fauna. Such process and its implication in nutritional aspect of the species are poorly studied. This study aimed to give subsidies in proposing a new sustainability perspective to the residents of the Municipal district of Barão de Melgaço (MT) through the management of natural licks. Ungulates integrate the diet of resident people seeking for investments in the sense of promoting local sustainability as well as to increase productivity of hunted species. Local people setting in São Bento, Retiro São Bento, Pimenteira, São Pedro of Joselândia, Rio Cuiabá and Rio São Lourenço were argued through semi-structured questionnaire concerning socioeconomic rising and socioambiental aspects of the area. Ungulates sustain local people of Pantanal, and the fauna is favored by artificial salt licks construction. Such supplementary mineral elements are important for muscular and bones development and nutritional maintenance of the species. The results have shown that artificial natural licks construction is viable. They will serve, in the near future, for the effectiveness of sustainability in areas of similar conditions as those of Pantanal, and for the accomplishment of sustained management of local fauna.
