Abstract

The approaches to ecosystem services and their implications are used to encourage the preservation and conservation of natural resources, biodiversity and their services, largely by the Government, with the participation of civil society and people in particular. Recognized as it is nowadays its use, moreover, the perception of its impacts for all the interested public, from the perception of value of such resources for the biodiversity and the quality of life of the populations. In this sense, this qualitative research used methods of dialectic-inductive approaches, so we sought to analyze, discuss and value such payments on ecosystem services as expedient to recognize the protector of the environment so that it can exercise its function of guardian Of the natural resources, being remunerated for such, in alternative land use. Plant cover was chosen as the central axis of all analyzes, their interrelations with water, soil, water resources, flora and fauna. Also, the human being and his socioeconomic situation in the study area, the APA and the Sabiaguaba National Dunes National Park, both with a total area of 1,477.34 hectares, that is, about 15km2. For this purpose, satellite images (LANDSAT 8), cartographic charts, maps were used on a scale of 1: 30,000. Data and information from state agencies such as IBGE, IPERCE and PMF were used. The environmental indicators are also sought, such as ICV aiming to size Sabiaguaba Plant Cover, living conditions, means of survival, education, health, infrastructure were also treated in this work. In order to converge to the various analyzes carried out, the concept of Opportunity Cost was used for comparative purposes between the remunerations based on the current minimum wage (2016) and the carbon capture of the vegetation still existing in the study area. The conclusions of this thesis were presented at the end, presenting in their conclusive points the importance and necessity of preservation of the natural resources and their ecosystem services that go far beyond any financial payments, since such preservation needs must be observed at any price, since It is the environment that depends on the survival of all living things.
