Does the Mata Atlântica have a future?

The road that leads to Paranapiacaba crosses the heart of the Mata Atlântica, the Brazilian Atlantic forest. This little town is dependent on Santo André, one of the towns in the suburbs of São Paulo that is part of what is known as the “Green Belt”. In summer, the road is sprinkled with manacá flowers, whose white and violet colors contrast with the green of the abundant vegetation. It is difficult to believe that such a natural paradise can exist near a megalopolis of 17.8 million people like São Paulo. And in the space of barely 40 you can go from a world of concrete and asphalt to this ocean of greenery. But this paradise is under threat from anarchic urbanization of the surrounding towns. With already 92 percent of its original surface area lost, the mata atlântica is a victim of the attraction it holds for the people of the São Paulo region. Already a popular destination for São Paulo residents, the forest is attracting increasing numbers of foreign tourists – with disastrous consequences for the environment.

That is why in 1994 UNESCO made the São Paulo City Green Belt a UNESCO biosphere reserve, in order to preserve the natural heritage site that is home to one of the greatest examples of biodiversity in the world. Paranapiacaba is now one the bases for the Youth Training Programme for Ecojobs. An education project created in 1996 to introduce pupils to activities related to sustainable development and to promote environmental protection in the region.

Os Pronomes Possessivos (Possessive Pronouns) nunca são usados antes de substantivo, pois sua função é substitui-lo a fim de evitar repetição e concordam sempre com o possuidor, diferentemente do Português, em que a concordância se faz com a coisa (pessoa, animal, objeto) possuída. Eles não se flexionam, ou seja, valem tanto para o singular como para o plural. Eles podem ser usados em construções com a preposição “of”.

Mata Atlântica

The Mata Atlântica is mostly  located on the southern coast of Brazil, from Rio Grande do Norte to the border with Uruguay. Historically, this coast was covered by the Atlantic Forest, one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet. There are more than 10,000 plant species found there, half of which are unique or endemic to this area as are at least 5% of the world’s butterfly species. The canopy is not as high as the Amazon Rainforest, nor are there as many canopy layers. In the Amazon, it is common for the tallest canopy to be as tall as 50 meters, but in the Mata Atlântica, it is much shorter – usually on the order of 20-30 meters high.

However, at present only approximately 7.3% (94,000) of the original 1,290,692 square kilometers of Mata Atlântica remain in Brazil. As often the case, the most biologically diverse places are also the most favorable for human settlement. Biologically diverse coastal areas in particular are threatened all over the Earth. The Atlantic Forest is a perfect example of this phenomenon. Over 100 million Brazilian live within the Atlantic Forest, including the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Porto Alegre. It is clear that the Atlantic Forest has been vital for the growth of the country.
