Os povos indígenas ciudam da Mata de Araucárias e dos Campos há milênios. Se quisermos restaurar e salvaguardar os remanescentes desses ecossistemas para o futuro – e devemos fazê-lo! – teremos que aprender com eles e seguir seu exemplo. Lê o estudo aqui 👉doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.202…

Southern Brazil’s highland ecosystems – Araucaria Forests and Campos grasslands – are special. They’re ancient and distinctive parts of the Mata Atlântica biodiversity hotspot. They’ve also been badly diminished since European colonisation.

Not much (~5%) Araucaria Forest and Campos is legally protected, but these areas do shelter some very important remnants. This is especially clear for some Indigenous Territories in the west – you can even see them outlined in forest maps!

Indigenous people have looked after Brazil’s Araucaria Forests & Campos grasslands for millennia. If we want to restore & safeguard the surviving remnants of these ecosystems for the future (we should!), we need to learn from them – and follow their lead. doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.202…
