Biodiversity Conservation Through Ecological Ecoturism
Projeto de Conservação da Biodiversidade com o Turismo Ecológico
This project will be implemented in tourism site near to Brasília, in which mineral exploitation and cattle ranching have degraded much of the landscape. Natural Heritage Private Reserves (Reservas Particulares do Patrimônio Natural) are an alternative for conservation of biodiversity and generation of income through ecotourism.
Two routes will be established by this project for tourism, cutting across regional RPPNs by a network of RPPN owners, community and environmental agents and associations. Capacity-building and labor training will transform the Flor ds Águas RPPN into a Training Center for coordination and reference for studies regarding the Cerrado biome
