Participative Construction of the Cachoeirinha Creek Ecological Park
Parque Ecológico do Córrego Cachoeirinha: uma construção participativa
This project seeks to add to the activities implemented by other organizations working toward conservation of the environment. Collective structuring of the park will be the main focus of the activities planned. This will allow conscience-building in the local population about the importance of the Cerrado, identification of the current perception of this biome, delivery of information about environment, and consolidation of a partnership with the community with shared responsibilities in the structure of the park, whose creation resulted from a community initiative. The specific objectives of this project which will ensure its success are: implementation of the ecological park; development of an environmental management program for the park; recovery and monitoring activities for degraded areas, with reforestation of native Cerrado species; identification and registration of local native species; an environmental education program with workshops for production of materials and courses for the neighboring communities.

Project Characteristics and Results
Policy Impact
Creation of the Cachoeirinha Park, through law number 1517/2001, was the direct result of the community?s involvement and organization. The law was originally vetoed by the governor, but this veto was overridden due to the actions of the association and neighboring communities.
Notable Community Participation
Each of the project?s activities will involve debates in the community for gathering of opinions and participation in the proposed activities. Representatives of neighboring communities will be elected for participation in these debates. The Paranoá City communities and neighbors, the Colombo Cerqueira Rural Nucleus, the Boqueirão community and Lago Norte Rural Nuclei will be involved in the execution of the project?s activities through participation in workshops, educational community bees, and other activities.
