The Environmental Protection area sof Pitimbu river are important tools for planning and territorial land management. The Pitimbu river protection is aided in laws, so much of Federal stamp, as the Brazilian s Forest Code (Law No. 4771/1965), and in State s and City s Resolutions. So, this research begins in the State s Law No. 8426/2003interpretations, for being the most restrictive in the river's margin occupation and management. The objective is to analyze the applicability of the Environmental Protection areas of Pitimbu river, localized at the State of Rio Grande do Norte, considering environmental legislation and how to use this space by the man. Having specific goals for the discussion of the legislation s scope to this river; the identification of the types of soil s covering and evaluation the effectiveness of Law Nº.8426/2003, as protection instrument and land management. The river is characterized by its ecological importance and for feeding the Jiqui pond, an important reservoir that supplies 30% of drinking water to the east, west and south population sof the capital of the State. Pitimbu river is passing by a process of environmental degradation, originating from actions as deforestations of its ciliary forests by intensive agricultural practices; introduction of urban and industrial effluents leading to its contamination; increase of the pluvial drainage; erosion, sedimentation and discharge of urban waste , along with pressure for urban settlements along its banks. Under the methodological point of view is part of theoretical planning and land management research, and from a vision of social and environmental spaces. It was produced a survey map of the soil s covering, with 16 classes. Divided into coverage and disturbed natural covering. Using the 300 meters spatial limits of the Environmental Protection Strip, according to the State Law. The survey highlighted a higher percentage of classes disturbed, indicating man s interference in the balance of that system, as well as the lack of environmental actions. Leading to the degradation of riparian areas, and lack of conservation of water resources. Finally, it was considered that the strips of environmental protection are not effective as the preservation and territorial ordination

The main pool of dissolved organic carbon in tropical aquatic environments, notably in dark-coloured streams, is concentrated in humic substances (HS). Aquatic HS are large organic molecules formed by micro-biotic degradation of biopolymers and polymerization of smaller organic molecules. From an environmental point of view, the study of metal-humic interactions is often aimed at predicting the effect of aquatic HS on the bioavailability of heavy metal ions in the environment. In the present work the aquatic humic substances (HS) isolated from a dark-brown stream (located in an environmental protection area near Cubatao city in São Paulo-State, Brazil) by means of the collector XAD-8 were investigated. FTIR studies showed that the carboxylic carbons are probably the most important binding sites for Hg(II) ions within humic molecules. C-13-NMR and H-1-NMR studies of aquatic HS showed the presence of constituents with a high degree of aromaticity (40% of carbons) and small substitution. A special five-stage tangential-flow ultrafiltration device (UF) was used for size fractionation of the aquatic HS under study and for their metal species in the molecular size range 1-100 kDa (six fractions). The fractionation patterns showed that metal traces remaining in aquatic HS after their XAD-8 isolation have different distributions. Generally, the major percentage of traces of Mn, Cd and Ni (determined by ICP-AES) was preferably complexed by molecules with relatively high molecular size. Cu was bound by fractions with low molecular size and Co showed no preferential binding site in the various humic fractions. Moreover, the species formed between aquatic HS and Hg(II), prepared by spiking (determined by CVAAS), appeared to be concentrated in the relatively high molecular size fraction F-1 (> 100 kDa).

The interactions of tropical aquatic fulvic acids (AFA) with chlorine and formation of trihalomethanes were characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy. The aquatic humic substances (AHS) were isolated from a dark-brown stream (located in a environmental protection area near Cubatão city in São Paulo State, Brazil) by means of the collector XAD 8 according the procedure recommended by the International Humic Substances Society. The photoluminescence measurements were made by using a Perkin Elmer spectrometer; AHS, aquatic humic acids (AHA) and AFA samples were assayed. The interactions of AFA and chlorine were characterized by using different reaction times (1, 24, 48, 72 and 168 h) and chlorine concentrations (2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 20.0 mg L-1). The relative fluorescence intensity for AFA was significantly decreased with the increasing of chlorine concentration and reaction time. The reduction of fluorescence intensity in the region of longer wavelength was interpreted as an indicative of interaction between condensed aromatic groups of AFA and chlorine.

This study's goal was to caryy out an ethnobotanical survey focusing on the knowledge and use of medicinal plants within two rural communities (Marambaia and Camboinha), which are situated in an Environmental Protection Area in Atlantic Forest of Southern Bahia, Brazil. These communities use medicinal plants as an important therapeutic activity, which permits the rural inhabitants to be self-sufficient regarding health care. Data were collected through interviews with 26 families (24% of the total). The medicinal plants collected (98 species) were catalogued, identified and deposited at the Herbarium Rio Clarense (HRCB). They belong to 40 families so that Lamiaceae was the most cited. The majority of these species (78%) are cultivated, usually in backyards by local inhabitants. The leaf is the most common part of the plant used in medicinal preparations. The species with the greatest number of citations were Chenopodium ambrosioides L. and Lippia alba (Mill) N.E. Br. These species are also associated with the highest number of therapeutic uses. Use agreement and diversity index from this survey were compared to other surveys conducted in Brazilian Tropical Forests.

This paper attempts to assess both the touristic potential of scenic attractions and the environmental impacts resulting from the public use of such attractions in the Rifaina Municipality, State of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil. In the recent past, this municipality had its economy concentrated in rural activities (livestock, corn, rice and bean crops) and in the ceramic industry (production of bricks, tiles and shackles),which was largely developed in the floodplain of the Rio Grande before the construction of the Jaguara Power Plant Dam. The impacts resulting from touristic activities were evaluated by applying the VIM - Visitor Impact Management method, with emphasis on biophysical indicators. The main touristic attractions analyzed were: (1) Rifaina artificial beach; (2) Jaguara Reservoir; (3) Morro do Chapéu (scenic hill); (4) Touristic railroad; and (5) Cuestas cliffs. Attractions (1) and (2) are the most exploited ones, including, in the second case, nautical sports, sportive and craft fishing, and summer lodging. Although currently disabled, the touristic railroad presents potential conditions to be re-explored. Attractions (3) and (5), despite keeping high landscape and ecological ecotouristic potential, are the least visited places. In the present paper, a preliminary characterization of the major issues of tourism industry in the Rifaina municipality is made, including suggestions for the sustainable exploitation of tourism resources. The final results of the environmental impact evaluation of the tourism activities include small impacts in attractions (4) and (5) and moderate impacts to the three first attractions. In order to keep the sustainable touristic potential for that municipality this study proposes the improvement of the following measures: to foster research projects on technical or scientific aspects of the touristic attractions, improvement of tourism infrastructure and the creation of an Environmental Protection Area (APA) of the cuestas' scarps.

Tratamos nesse estudo, das representações, relações com o meio ambiente e organização do trabalho entre pescadores artesanais, cujas atividades produtivas se dão em uma UC - a APA da Costa de Urumajó -, localizada no município de Augusto Corrêa, no litoral do nordeste paraense. O estudo está dirigido para a reconstrução do processo de constituição desta APA, no qual a participação dos pescadores e de seus saberes efetivamente não se deu. Assim, objetiva-se, colocar em relevo a visão, as práticas e o instrumental de trabalho, contidos nas atividades dos pescadores que, desde 1998, passaram a se relacionar com restrições advindas de reordenamento territorial, informado pelo saber científico, com fins à proteção do meio ambiente. Conforme verificado, a partir, principalmente dos referenciais de Bourdieu ((2005a, 2005b) através da noção de habitus que nos permitiu transitar entre o ser e fazer-se pescador, a noção de risco ambiental e social em Beck (2001) e a Sociologia das Ausências de Souza Santos (1995, 2004, 2006), evidenciamos a necessidade do diálogo entre os saberes científico e local com vistas à instituição de políticas públicas ambientais. Uma das principais dificuldades para que o plano de manejo da APA não tenha sido ainda elaborado, mesmo passados 09 anos, o que afeta a sustentabilidade dessa instituição enquanto política sócio-ambiental. Destacamos assim a significância do saber e fazer local para que o paradigma cientifico de conservação se efetive. Nosso estudo sustentou-se em observação direta, entrevistas, análise documental e registros fotográficos. Nessa trajetória, Somos Parceiros?: Representações e relações sociais na pesca em unidades de conservação – em foco A APA da Costa de Urumajó, é um estudo na tentativa de, conforme afirma Souza Santos (2006) revelar “experiências sociais desperdiçadas” ou em parte, invisibilizadas pela razão cientifica moderna.

Esta dissertação de mestrado constitui-se em um estudo de caso do processo de criação, implementação e gestão da Área de Proteção Ambiental da Ilha do Combu (APA Combu) localizada no município de Belém no estado do Pará, delimitada temporalmente a partir do ato de sua criação no ano de 1997 ao período atual, ano de 2010. Como principais objetivos pretenderam-se analisar e refletir sobre os principais desafios e possibilidades da gestão ambiental da Área de Proteção Ambiental da Ilha do Combu; identificar as principais mudanças ocorridas na Ilha do Combu após o processo de criação da APA e identificar os principais problemas existentes na APA da Ilha do Combu. Os problemas que pretendemos responder são: Quais os principais desafios colocados e as possibilidades de uma gestão ambiental na APA da Ilha do Combu no contexto atual? Como se deu processo de criação da APA da Ilha do Combu na ótica do órgão gestor e das lideranças locais? E o que significou para a população da Ilha do Combu na ótica das lideranças locais a criação da APA? A pesquisa é de cunho qualitativo e de caráter interdisciplinar por abordar o problema na ótica de várias disciplinas buscando uma visão holística. Para a sua realização foi realizado levantamento bibliográfico, consultas e análises de fontes documentais, visitas de campo, trilhas no interior da ilha, observação simples em reuniões e oficinas e entrevistas com as lideranças locais da APA, gestores e técnicos do órgão ambiental. Utilizamo-nos também da cartografia como recurso metodológico para entender a dinâmica desse território e para georreferenciar a configuração atual da APA por meio de marcação de pontos através de GPS. As principais conclusões apontam para a fragilidade da gestão em unidades de conservação. Os desafios referem-se aos aspectos relacionados às demandas, aspecto cultural, órgão gestor e conselho e uma atenta visão de futuro. As possibilidades encontram-se na manutenção de uma floresta ainda bem conservada, a existência de um significativo arranjo institucional e lideranças comprometidas com o lugar. Não partiu da população local a criação da APA e nem houve um conhecimento por todos da sua criação. A criação da APA não teve muito significado para o cotidiano da sua população porque nenhuma mudança foi percebida desde a sua criação. Mas, salienta que a partir de dois anos para cá já é sentido algumas tímidas intervenções do órgão gestor responsável, inclusive com grande expectativa na construção da sede da APA na ilha.
