A problemática de conservação do Parque Ecológico da Lagoa da Maraponga

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the conditions of the Lagoa da Maraponga Ecological Park and propose measures to its geoconservation, considering the environmental, social and urban aspects. The problematic investigated comprises the challenges faced by the park, including environmental degradation, pollution, disordered occupation, and absence of efficient public policies, which compromises its conservation and functionality. This research is justified by the ecological and social relevance of the Lagoa da Maraponga Park, essential for the biodiversity and life quality of the population. Additionally, the area demands the proposition of environmental preservation strategies and sustainable management. The proposed hypothesis supports that pollution and disordered urbanization negatively impact on the park due to the absence of a Management Plan. In this context, the preservation of the park is hindered by the lack of public authorities’ actions towards the management of the uses regarding infrastructure, leisure, and education, which allows the communal use of the park. Therefore, the study has the objective of providing technical and scientific support for a sustainable conservation and preservation of the Lagoa da Maraponga Ecological Park.
