Gestão participativa em reserva de floresta urbana: um estudo da Mata do Passarinho, município de Olinda, Pernambuco, Brasil

Abstract

The theme of participatory management in urban forest reserves is relevant and important to achieving the goals of the Urban Development Goals, specifically: SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 13 - Climate Action, SDG 15 - Life on Land, SDG 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions and SDG 17 - Partnerships for the Goals. The Mata do Passarinho Urban Forest Reserve (FURB) located in the municipality of Olinda, Pernambuco, is a conservation unit categorized within the sustainable use management group, through the State System of Conservation Units (SEUC), State Law No. 13,787, of June 2009. This research aims to analyze the participatory management process in urban conservation units,

with the Mata do Passarinho FURB as the object of study, and sought to characterize socio- environmental conflicts, identify the main actors involved, recognize local socio- environmental governance and propose guidelines to improve participatory management. To

this end, it presents as methodological procedures used the collection of secondary data based on bibliographic and documentary research, as well as the collection of primary data with field observation and informal conversations with those involved in the management process of the conservation unit. The results indicate that participatory management faces important challenges, such as community engagement and the alignment of public policies with local needs. It is concluded that the integration between the different actors, combined with environmental education strategies, can contribute significantly to the conservation and sustainability of Mata do Passarinho
