Conservation Measures

    • The area is fenced and maintained under strict conservation protocols, preventing unauthorized access and livestock intrusion.

    • Conservation ensures local vegetation and biodiversity thrive without external interference.

    • Geolocation equipment: GPS systems track terrain changes and map the forest.

    • Monitoring cameras: Strategically placed to detect threats like poachers and monitor wildlife.

    • Flora and fauna health checks: Regular inspections assess vegetation health and document wildlife presence.

  • Continuous monitoring of the Campinho Spring ensures pristine water quality, supported by the surrounding vegetation acting as a natural filter.

Biodiversity highlights

  • The forest hosts 2,500 native Atlantic Forest trees per hectare, including species like:

    • Ipê

    • Taquara

    • Gravatá

    • Macaúba Palm

  • This region is a biodiversity hotspot, supporting species such as:

    • Birds: Thrushes, Yellow Warblers

    • Mammals: Capybaras, Armadillos, Seriema Birds

    • Reptiles, Amphibians, and Aquatic Life: The river ecosystem supports fish and amphibians vital for ecological balance.
