::cck::160::/cck::::introtext:: This project seeks evaluates the population size, genetic status and dispersal patterns of three large mammal species in Morro do Diabo State Park and surrounding forest fragments in the Pontal do Paranapanema. ::/introtext::::fulltext:: Results from this study are essential for the implementation of two conservation management practices: metapopulation management and the ecological corridors that … Read more

::cck::158::/cck::::introtext:: Forest fragments in the Pontal do Paranapanema are exposed to anthropic actions that lead to degradation (fires, logging, agro-toxins) and edge effects (wind, fluctuating temperatures, excessive sunlight, decreased humidity, and exotic plant species). These factors influence ecological processes in Atlantic Forest fragments. ::/introtext::::fulltext:: Although little attention has been given to the role of agro-forestry … Read more

::cck::157::/cck::::introtext:: Community nurseries produce saplings of forest tree species used by agrarian reform settlers on their properties and demonstrate techniques for nursery operation in settlements. The nurseries also provide assistance to settlers in planning their properties by emphasizing agroforestry and silvopastoral practices. This stimulates the creation of agroforestry lots that form forested ‘islands’ that serve … Read more

::cck::156::/cck::::introtext:: The Coffee with Forest Project, conducted since 2001 with agrarian reform farmers in the Pontal do Paranapanema implements a diversified system that combines coffee (Coffea arabica L.) cultivation with annual crops such as beans, maize, and cassava. In the same growing area, Atlantic Forest tree species, such as Inga, Cordia trichotoma, Timburi, and Ficheira, … Read more

::cck::155::/cck::::introtext:: From its beginning, the Environmental Education Program in the Pontal do Paranapanema has been integrated into the conservation biology initiatives of the black lion tamarin. Results from scientific research are critical to inform the activities of this program, which disseminates information to the public in an accessible way. ::/introtext::::fulltext:: The Program’s initial target audience … Read more

::cck::154::/cck::::introtext:: Forest destruction converts continuous habitats into fragmented landscapes, often surrounded by cultivated areas, pasture and cities. These changes generate alterations in fauna and flora, as well as the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. Pathogens previously maintained at endemic levels and at an environmental equilibrium become threats to human and animal life. They are responsible … Read more

::cck::153::/cck::::introtext:: The black lion tamarin, scientifically known as Leontopithecus chrysopygus, is one of the rarest and most threatened primate species in the world. It was for many years considered extinct in the wild. Today, the species remains in a precarious state and is listed in the Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN) as endangered (EN). … Read more

::cck::152::/cck::::introtext:: Since October 1996, Patrícia Medici, a senior researcher and co-founder of IPÊ, has been undertaking a research and conservation program focused on the Brazilian tapir in the Atlantic Forests of the Pontal do Paranapanema Region (Teodoro Sampaio, São Paulo State). This region includes Morro do Diabo State Park, a forested area of 35,000 hectares … Read more
