| Description: | With about 70.000 km2 on the south coast of Bahia, Abrolhos includes a mosaic of marine and coastal environments bordered by remaining of Atlantic wood, including choral reefs, algae depths, mango grooves, beaches and spits. Internationally known as the area of the biggest biodiversity on the south Atlantic, Abrolhos shelters many endemic species (which occur only there), including the main choral, crustacea and molluscs, beyond turtles and marine mammiferous threatened by the extinction, like the whales. We should also point out the economic situation of this region, which presents the major fishing production of Bahia, responsable for the sustenance of more than 20.000 people. Important conservation unities were created to protect the region's biodiversity and to garantee its sustenance: the Marine National Park of Abrolhos, National Parks of Discovery, Monte Pascoal and Pau Brasil, Reserva Extrativista Marinha do Corumbau, beyond stadual and municipal UCs, and Particular Reserve of the Natural Property. To protect this relevant natural property, CI-Brasil, conjointly with key-partners, develops an ample plan of action, started in 1996 with the creation of the Abrolhos project. The activities include the creation and the execution of protected marine areas, the search and the monitorizing of the marine biodiversity, as well as information activities and environmental education. |
