Análise multitemporal da cobertura da terra do parque estadual do cantão, Tocantins

Abstract

Located in an important ecotone region, the Parque Estadual do Cantão - Tocantins, has high relevance in maintaining an ecologically healthy environment in a state like Tocantins and in a biome like Cerrado that suffer from great pressures from the expansion of agricultural production. The present work aimed to evaluate and identify the efficiency of the environmental measure of the creation and management of the Park in the last 20 years in the conservation and maintenance of natural areas within the PEC environment, studies such as this have high relevance in the process of raising awareness of the population and helping in the adequacy of management measures and programmes. It was observed in the intersection maps generated from the software MapBiomas database a persistence of more than 90% of natural areas since the creation of the Unit, as well as a growth of less than 2% of anthropized areas, thus indicating a high efficiency of measures and programs implemented by management.
