“…In situ conservation outside the protected areas is a strategy to overcome the limitations of the system (Brandon et al 1998;Glowka et al 1994;Soares et al 2004). Problems in management of the protected areas frequently derive from the lack or inefficiency management proposals for their surroundings (Li et al 2009). These peripheral areas are denoted as Buffer zones (BZ) and they are settled to take in consideration the objectives of protected areas (Oldfield 1988;Milano 1991).…”

The use of the land around protected areas may pose risks as well as benefit the conservation of biodiversity. Nevertheless, little attention has been given to their management, in the form of clearly established buffer zones (BZ). Moreover, a great deal of confusion exists around their objectives, dimension and location. In this study we review the scientific and technical literature on BZ planning and the related legislation of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Current literature emphasizes the threats to biodiversity from the lands around protected areas, and their role to promote life quality of neighboring communities. On the other hand, neglect the negative impacts of protected areas on the use of land around them, and the potential role of these lands in supplementing or complementing the protection of species and habitats. In the countries which legislation we surveyed, the BZ guidelines are superficial and confusing. The reviewed literature does not present an applied guide for the implementation of BZ. The lack of a comprehensive perception of the relationship between protected areas and their surroundings, clear objectives for buffer zones, and scientific rules for delimitation precludes the integration of these key areas in the effort to conserve biodiversity.

“…According to Li et al (1999) buffer zones should be established not only on firm conservation strategies, but must also consider the local human populations. These authors proposed a method for establishing buffer zone for the Yancheng Biosphere Reserve in China that would take into consideration current uses of the area by resident populations, tourism-use values, the environmental quality sought, as well as physical access to the reserve.…”

Analysis of private natural heritage reserves as a conservation strategy for the biodiversity of the cocoa region of the southern State of Bahia, Brazil

et al. 2010

-Brazil was the first country in Latin America to establish and regulate this type of reserve, and there are currently more than 700 Private Nature Heritage Reserves (RPPN in Portuguese) officially recognized by either federal or state environmental agencies. Together, these RPPN protect more than a half million hectares of land in the country. The coastal forests in the southern part of Bahia State extend 100 to 200 km inland, gradually changing in physiognomy as they occupy the dryer inland areas. The coastal forest has been subjected to intense deforestation, and currently occupies less than 10% of its original area. For this work the creation processes of the RPPN were consulted to obtain the data creation time, size of property, the condition of the remaining forest, succession chain and the last paid tax. After that, interviews with the owners were made to confirm this data. Sixteen RPPN have been established in this region until 2005. Their sizes vary from 4.7 to 800 ha. Ten of these RPPN are located within state or federal conservation areas or their buffer zones. In spite of the numerous national and international conservation strategies and environmental policies focused on the region, the present situation of the cocoa zone is threatening the conservation of the region's natural resources. The establishment of private reserves in the cocoa region could conceivably improve these conservation efforts. This type of reserve can be established under a uniform system supported by federal legislation, and could count on private organizations.

“…Os usos múltiplos das áreas de entorno de uma UC que não seguem normas de ordenamento frequentemente geram impactos, como poluição do solo e de corpos hídricos, introdução de espécies exóticas, isolamento e extinção local de espécies (LI et al, 2009). O uso e ocupação na ZA devem seguir um planejamento com base em princípios de Ecologia de Paisagens (LINDENMAYER et al, 2008), que promovam a perspectiva de corredores e trampolins ecológicos e uma matriz permeável, de forma a garantir o deslocamento e dispersão das espécies da fauna e da flora (PARDINI et al, 2009;VIEIRA et al, 2009).…”

e Rogério Hartung Toppa 4 RESUMO -O principal objetivo deste estudo foi diagnosticar o cenário ambiental atual e um cenário legal da Zona de Amortecimento (ZA) do Parque Estadual de Porto Ferreira (PEPF), bem como propor uma discussão acerca das ZA e seu planejamento. Foi realizado um mapeamento do uso e ocupação da terra e calculadas métricas de paisagem. A classe predominante na ZA foi a cana-de-açúcar, com 46,24%; e a classe floresta foi a terceira com maior cobertura, com 12,7%. As métricas da paisagem indicaram que a vegetação natural da ZA possui 83,3% de fragmentos até 10 ha, com 50% deles apresentando conectividade muito baixa. As APP totalizaram 386 ha, sendo 39% com vegetação natural. Para o cenário legal, com todas as APP preservadas, haveria um acréscimo de 239 ha de vegetação natural e redução de 60 para 27 fragmentos, evidenciando-se o surgimento de fragmentos maiores e mais conectados. A baixa porcentagem de áreas florestadas, baixa conectividade entre os fragmentos e o descumprimento da legislação ambiental na ZA contribuem para o isolamento da unidade de conservação e aumento dos efeitos de borda, gerando impactos sobre a biodiversidade do PEPF.Palavras-chave: Área protegida; SIG; Fragmentação florestal.
