reserve selection, Atlantic Forest, conservation prioritiesAbstract
The practice of reserve selection has generally not been systematic and new reserves have often been located in places that do not contribute to the representation of biodiversity of the region they are situated in. Reserves should represent regional biodiversity and separate it from processes that threaten its persistence. Since we cannot protect all remaining natural ecosystems, we have to prioritize them. Reserve selection theory says that it is preferable to compare areas with the same kind of information at the same level of detail. With the aim of indicating new reserves of the Atlantic Forest ecosystems in São Paulo State, we used biophysical attributes, integrity of natural resources and external influences as surrogates for biodiversity or persistence, since no equivalent biodiversity inventories are available for the region as a whole. Maps and information on the existing reserves were also analyzed, searching for complementarity. Six areas, located in the Serra do Mar/Paranapiacaba region, previously indicated on the basis of ad hoc procedure, were evaluated based upon thirteen criteria. The result is a portfolio of areas, individually described, and classified according to their priority for Atlantic Forest conservation, as a tool for decision making in the real-world.
