Centro de preservação bioma cerrado em área de RPPN: preservação do patrimônio natural cachoeira do Redondo em Barreiras/BA

Abstract

The development and growth of the western region of Bahia is growing and the municipality of Barreiras, for having a large concentration of water resources, is a great leisure attraction in the region for visitors and the local population. The municipality has several leisure places that involve its hydrography, however, many of these spaces do not have any type of environmental regiment and adequate infrastructure for their visitors. The Redondo waterfall, one of the postcards of the city of Barreiras/BA, was in constant degradation due to uncontrolled and degrading mass use, becoming a Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN) in 2021 and has been in the process of environmental regularization since then. In this way, thinking about this space with great potential for valuing the environment as a Natural Heritage of the city of Barreiras-BA, this work presents a project at the preliminary study level of the Cerrado Biome Preservation Center, in the area of vegetal suppression of Cachoeira do Redondo, with support infrastructure to receive visitors, local population, researchers and scientists, with the aim of preserving, valuing the place as a Natural Heritage, proposing leisure and environmental education to users, thinking about bioclimatic and sustainable solutions.
