Conservation of geosites as a tool to protect geoheritage: the inventory of Ceará Central Domain, Borborema Province - NE/Brazil

Abstract: The Ceará Central Domain, in the northern Borborema Province/NE Brazil, encompasses important geological records (geosites) which allow understanding a relevant period of the Earth's evolution, mainly associated to Neoproterozoic Brazilian/Pan-African Cycle and West Gondwana amalgamation, besides Neoarchean to Ordovician records. The presented geoheritage inventory aims to characterise the geosites with scientific relevance of Ceará Central Domain. By applying a method for large areas, the final selection resu… Show more

“…Fourteen geosites were identified in the study area, taken from the first systematic inventory developed in the State of Ceará (Moura et al 2017;. Their scientific value is strongly related to the Precambrian geological evolution of the South American continent, especially the West Gondwana orogenesis during the Neoproterozoic.…”

“…In the State of Ceará, Northeast Brazil, a geoheritage inventory and assessment focused on the scientific value has identified 52 geosites related to the geodynamic evolution of the South American continent. Based on these results, a pilot area -the Sertão Central -was selected for the evaluation of geodiversity sites with potential for geotourism and development of a geoheritage management plan (Moura et al 2017(Moura et al , 2018. Sertão is a hinterland, semiarid region, characterised by long periods of drought and a rocky, flat landscape with stony soils where the Caatinga Biome predominates.…”

“…Desta forma, muitos autores têm proposto métodos voltados à gestão e geoconservação de áreas consideradas relevantes a partir de inventários sistemáticos do patrimônio geológico (Fuertes-Gutiérrez & Fernández-Martínez, 2010;Fuertes-Gutiérrez et al, 2016;Moura et al, 2017). Poiraud et al (2016), por exemplo, com base em experiência obtida no Vercors Regional Natural Park, na França, afirmam que o inventário representa uma importante ferramenta ao planejamento territorial, incidindo em intervenções voltadas à pesquisa científica, disseminação do conhecimento geocientífico e no geoturismo.…”

“…O inventário do patrimônio geológico desenvolvido por Moura et al (2017) contemplou geossítios e sítios de geodiversidade (Brilha 2016) representantes da história e evolução geodinâmica deste domínio. Contudo, devido ao elevado número de sítios geológicos e à extensão da área inventariada, o que inviabilizaria desenvolver ações de geoconservação efetivas em todos os sítios, surge a necessidade de definir sítios prioritários para a gestão deste patrimônio geológico.…”
