Recuperação da cobertura vegetal do Quilombo do Cabral em Paraty, RJ – bases de um projeto socio-ambiental de extensão

A collaborative project successfully restored approximately 35 to 40% of the degraded area within Quilombo do Cabral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Paraty, RJ, Brazil. The initiative, spanning three years, employed carbon offset funding to plant around 8,000 trees along highway verges and implemented fire reduction techniques, soil preservation strategies, and agro-forestry systems (SAF). These efforts aimed to reconnect forest fragments while engaging the local community in socio-environmental conservation. The project, coordinated by an interagency group including LEPAC/UNICAMP, EMBRAPA, UFRRJ, ICMBio, SEDUMA, and Carbono Florestal, identified priority areas for biological corridors and SAF through prior consultations and field surveys. This study highlights the potential of integrated approaches in restoring degraded landscapes while addressing both ecological and social dimensions.
