Resumo
The Caratinga Biological Station (CBS) is an important
preserve of the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest, defined as a
national priority for the conservation of this highly fragmented
biome and shelter to the largest existing population of the
northern muriqui, the critically threatened largest monkey
species of the Americas. Extensive research on the demography
of this population has indicated favorable conditions for
growth, pointing out the importance of promoting expansion
of the locally available habitat. In the present study, rural
establishments neighboring the CBS were involved in a
participatory program for wildlife corridor restoration, by means
of the application of a ‘System for Weighted Environmental
Impact Assessment of Rural Activities’ (APOIA-NovoRural),
which consists of 62 indicators integrated in five sustainability
dimensions: i) Landscape ecology; ii) Environmental
quality; iii) Socio-cultural values; iv) Economic values; and
v) Management and administration. Results regarding the
Landscape ecology indicators (those most related with fauna
protection) attested to the adequate performance of productive
activities in the studied establishments, while pointed out the
need for improvements in natural habitats conservation. The
Environmental Management Reports issued to the farmers
included mapped recommendations for forest restoration and
wildlife corridors implementation, favoring the connection of
the main preserved area of CBS with the second largest forest
fragment in the region.
