During vegetation removal, more than 300 species/animals were recorded. Among them: frogs, toads, hedgehog, tatu-peba (peba armadillo), marmoset, hedgehog, opossum, bat, snakes, lizard, and others. More than 100 species nests, such as jandaia-de-testa-vermelha, burrowing owl, jacurutu, humming-bird and piculet were recorded.  These animals, as well as their nests, were taken to closed woods within enterprise region. Environment area continues to monitor and protect the fauna.

​

Endangered species

​

Some endangered species were found in the region. Giant anteater, lobo-guará (maned wolf), tatú-de-rabo-mole-grande (big soft-tailed armadillo) and guigós (marmosets in general) are some of them. These animals were recorded and are being monitored to protect specie.

Vegetation

Angico, Sucupira – Preta, Jequitibá, Pau-Óleo, Gameleira, Ipê Rosa, Jatobá do Ca, Pau- Terra, Capitão and Mamica-de-Porca

​

Curiosity:

For 1 native species specific of Atlantic Wood

50 seedlings of the same specie shall be planted!

Seedlings will be planted within the whole area pertaining to enterprise. Are purchased for company installation was a degraded area used for cattle breeding and farming. With company's arrival, these areas will be recovered.

 

Bromeliads, orchids, some species of ferns and vines will be replanted.

 

During vegetation removal process, we collected the largest possible number of seeds and fruits, to assure reproduction of species that will be used in areas reforesting, assuring continuity of species that have been removed from location.

​

Degraded Areas Recovery Plan (DARP)

​

The whole purchased areas, as well as area that is being degraded, will be recovered in the future. Company is monitoring and complying with all its legal obligations, to protect environment. Joining Private Reservation of Natural Patrimony (PRNP) and Environmental Compensation and Legal Reservation, we have already acquired an area corresponding to 1,208 soccer fields. GA large part of them will be recovered and all of them will be monitored and protected.
