Status da gestão das bacias hidrográficas em Florestas Nacionais da Região Amazônica

Abstract

The importance of conservation of aquatic ecosystems is directly associated with the perpetuity of life. The Hydrographic Basin (BH) constitutes as natural territory recognized by the science for water management. The Amazon Basin is the largest of all the continental aquatic ecosystems of the planet, however this region has a huge information gap. In view of these complex issues, we conducted the research with the objective of evaluating the management of National Forest BHs in the Brazilian Amazon. We used the Parkswatch methodology, where we evaluated information about vulnerability, planning, threats, pressures and uses of the BHs of these PAs. From a total of 11 forests of 06 sub-basins that make up the Amazon Basin, we found that managers recognize the need for protection of watersheds, but when confronted with data with variables, we see that it is antagonistic how to manage and protect BH, we also verified that the management implementation is not effective in planning, weakening the conservation of the aquatic environments of the Amazon Basin
