Análise de impacto ambiental na zona de amortecimento do Parque Nacional das Emas a partir da pressão agropecuária

Abstract

The state of Goiás, with 97% of its area inserted in the Cerrado biome, has only 3% of the territory protected in conservation units, among them the Emas National Park, considered a priority area for biodiversity conservation. Weather conditions, geomorphological and government development with occupation programs since the 70s, turned the park region an important hub national agriculture, which represents major threat to this protected area. This study examined the effectiveness of the buffer zone established by the management plan for protecting this conservation unit to agricultural pressure on its surroundings using the PEIR matrix. Despite the regulations of the buffer zone, the standards set from the same are not being fulfilled as regulated. The results obtained can support public policies that promote behaviors appropriate to the functionality of the Buffer Zone of Emas National Park.
