“…The difficulty in these cases is to associate these areas with preservation or anthropic use. The results presented by Mattar et al (2018) show vegetation conservation scenarios greater than those presented in this study, as they only consider federal PAs. The authors do not make it clear whether only FP PAs were considered, but they also do not consider RPPNs.…”

Faced with population growth and intensification of the use of natural resources, Protected Areas (PA) and Indigenous Lands (IL) play a fundamental role in environmental conservation. The carbon increment of preserved vegetation within these areas is accounted for as CO2 removal in the Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) sector of the National Emissions Inventory. A topological evaluation of overlaps was made of the databases of PAs (full protection and sustainable use) and ILs, showing that they represent 6% of the protected areas. Of the total of PAs and ILs areas, 43% were established by 1994, 26% by 2002, 26% by 2010, and 4% between 2011 and 2016. This evaluation showed that 30% of the territory is within PAs and ILs. In terms of area, 84% is distributed in the Amazon, 9% in the Cerrado, 4% in the Atlantic Forest, 3% in the Caatinga, 0,2% in the Pantanal, and 0,3% in the Pampa. In assessing the use and cover of 2010 of the PAs and ILs created up to this year, it was possible to notice that 68% of the areas within the PAs have preserved vegetation, whereas in ILs, this percentage increases to 89%. Under the Third Emissions Inventory, the removal of vegetation protected in PAs and ILs decreased by 16% of the national net emissions of the LULUCF sector between 2002 and 2010, showing the importance of preserving forests and grasslands.

“…The Cerrado has a flora, which is considered to be the richest of the savannas in the world, with up to 10,000 species of vascular plants having been estimated Souza, Pereira, Queiroz, Borges and Carneiro, 2012). Pantanal in Mato Grosso do Sul is one of the largest continuous wetlands on the planet, with an area of 15,035,500 hectares, with 65 percent of its territory in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (Mattar et al, 2018).…”

PurposeThe native species from western Mato Grosso do Sul provide fruits with unique sensory characteristics and high nutrient concentrations. Tropical fruit consumption is increasing due to the growing recognition of the nutritional value. These fruits play important roles through the marketing of their products and nutritionally through their consumption. All fruits are edible and are used in the food industry and well sensory accepted. The purpose of this paper is to verify the physicochemical characteristics, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity in fruits collected in the Cerrado and Pantanal biomes from western Mato Grosso do Sul.Design/methodology/approachThe fruits of baru, bocaiuva, jatobá, jenipapo and pequi were collected. To characterize them, longitudinal diameter, transverse diameter, total soluble solids, acidity, pH, ascorbic acid, total phenolics, antioxidant capacity, total sugar, glucose and macro and micronutrient contents analysis were performed in triplicate.FindingsJatobá presented the highest values of vitamin C. For phenolics, baru and jatobá stood out; bocaiuva presented the highest results for sugars, while jatobá was superior for glucose. The fruits with the highest antioxidant capacity, DPPH, were pequi and baru, while via ABTS the jatobá was the highest. Baru presented higher levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc and iron. The bocaiuva presented the highest results for potassium and sulfur, the jatobá calcium and manganese. Jenipapo stood out with its boron content. Magnesium presented superior results in the baru, jenipapo and bocaiuva. The results reinforce the diversity of physicochemical characteristics.Originality/valueThe increase of the flow of available information, together with the growth of multicultural influences, the search for wholesome diet and the diversity of flavors and colors make these fruits important regional development tools. Their characteristics encompass national and international exploration potential that arouse consumer interest and contribute to the pursuit of innovations. In addition, the native species mentioned above provide fruits with unique sensory characteristics. Their consumption is increasing in the markets due to the growing recognition of their nutritional value. Therefore, these fruits play important roles, economically, through the marketing of their products and nutritionally through their consumption.

“…In addition to being the primary conservation strategy practiced in Brazil (Mattar et al, 2018), the creation of protected areas was based on the idea that such areas need to have the capacity to harbor different ecosystems and different biological components (Heny- Silva, 2005). From this point of view and based only on our results, protected areas such as FIC, AEES, BNP, ENP, CVNP, and SVNP can harbor almost all the cladoceran lineages, represented by different families (Fig.…”

Cladoceran (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) biodiversity of protected areas in a Brazilian hotspot

As less than 50% of the Cerrado Biome area in Brazil maintains its natural characteristics, its indigenous fauna and flora have been confined to the few areas designated for protection. However, a significant part of the protected areas in the Cerrado still need to be studied, and little attention is given to the aquatic biota. In this study, we present a study of the Cladocera fauna in 11 preserved areas of this Biome. Altogether, the protected areas harbor 59 species. Representatives of the Chydoridae family were found in all areas. The number of species observed in some areas represented a substantial pool of the total regional richness (sometimes more than 1/3 of all known species). Besides that, low similarities between protected areas were observed (< 50%). We can speculate that these areas are able to maintain different biological components in the case of the Cladocera. Despite the high number of protected areas in the Cerrado Biome, our results can still be taken as underestimates of richness and endemism. How to cite this article:
