Geographic reconstruction of a Central-West Brazilian landscape devastated during the first half of the 20th century: Mato Grosso de Goiás

Abstract: In the history of humanity, there are various accounts of ecosystems that were devastated to the detriment of scientific knowledge. In Brazil, the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes are emblematic of this phenomenon. Specifically, within the latter, an environment consisting predominantly of savanna, a large tropical forest enclave existed, known as Mato Grosso de Goiás. This ecosystem was almost devastated by the Brazilian land expansion policies during the first half of the 20th century. The objective of thi… Show more

“…Another pattern found here is that the studies reporting largest numbers of mammal species for Goiás state were carried out in conservation units, and some species have been found only inside these protected areas. Thus, we highlight the need to increment the number of conservation units in the state, especially regarding the central and southeastern portion of Goiás, which was once represented by a large area part of Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest ecoregion, but now is represented by few, scattered and small remnants, with no conservation units (Giustina et al 2018). We also conclude that there are still great portions of the state lacking a proper mammal survey.…”

“…Geografia, Literatura e Arte, v.4, n.1, p.6-30, jan.2024DOI: 10.11606/issn.2594-9632.geoliterart.2024 O processo de devastação da paisagem do Mato Grosso Goiano, constatado pelos geógrafos e também por Carmo Bernardes (1986), se deu de forma acelerada e destrutiva, tendo sido pulverizado por alguns fatores de ordem social e política que o influenciaram: a expansão da malha ferroviária, a construção de Goiânia, a nova capital, e a expansão da fronteira agrícola, que avançava sobre as faixa pioneira da vegetação florestal, favorecida pela instalação de uma Colônia Agrícola no norte dessa região (Faissol, 1952;Dutra e Silva, 2013;2017). Entre os anos de 1940 e 1950, a população da região mais que dobrou, e, a partir dos anos 50, mais de 70% do Mato Grosso Goiano já havia sido desflorestado para o uso agrícola (James, 1953;Giustina et al, 2018).…”

“…Conforme Estevão Freitas Santos Geografia, Literatura e Arte, v.4, n.1, p.6-30, jan.2024DOI: 10.11606/issn.2594-9632.geoliterart.2024 apontado por Dutra e Silva (2017, p. 109), "as anotações desses estudiosos sobre o Mato Grosso Goiano são breves, mas relevantes do ponto de vista histórico, e incorporam uma perspectiva científica". Diversos estudos (e.g., Rizzo, 2005;Barbalho et al, 2015;Dutra e Silva, 2017;Giustina et al, 2018) aproveitaram-se das informações contidas na literatura desses viajantes para resgatar um esboço da paisagem primitiva do Mato Grosso Goiano. Dutra e Silva (2017, p. 113), inclusive, utilizou-se dos relatos de escritores, jornalistas e romancistas norte-americanos que chegaram à região durante a expansão das frentes pioneiras, valorizando sua produção literária como registro do contexto histórico e geográfico.…”
