Environmental Assessment of the UHE Tijuco Alto Hydropower Plant: the change of the dominant order

“…Vale do Ribeira (Ribeira Valley region) is located between the Brazilian states of São Paulo and Paraná and includes an area of a rich cultural and environmental importance for this region. The 25 municipalities that make up the territory are covered by 60% of Rainforest (Mata Atlântica), the largest continuous area in the country of this type of forest (GALVANESE; FAVARETO, 2014).
