Importância dos viveiros de produção de mudas nativas para a recuperação de áreas degradadas: estudo de caso no Estado do Ceará.

Abstract

In a country whose development was based on devastating nature, ways are currently being sought to reverse environmental impacts and restore the environment. Concerned with finding solutions to recover degraded areas, this work emphasizes the importance of native seedling nurseries for this process, focusing on two nurseries in the State of Ceará: the one in the Parque Botânico do Ceará and the APA in Serra de Baturité. With the objective of evaluating the functioning, the quantity of seedlings donated and fi nding projects for the recovery of degraded areas tha t made use of seedlings from these places. To this end, interviews were carried out with the technicians responsible for the aforementioned nurseries, one being held in person, and the other in the remote format, through the google me e t platform. The resea rch falls into two categories, both qualitative and quantitative, because first there was the collection of data, and then the treatment of these, expressed in graphs and tables, in addition to the bibliog raphic survey carried out in v arious means, such as legislation, articles and courses. When compiling the data and information from the two nurseries, it is clear that they play an important role in stopping the degradation of ecosystems, demonstrating seve ral projects by public agenc i es and companies that have signed a partnership and replanted areas that have suffered from some type of intervention.
