Summary

A study evaluating the socioenvironmental impacts of trail use in Paraty and Ilha Grande's Reserva Ecológica da Juatinga (REJ) found significant degradation, including erosion features like ravinas and steps on one trail, while another suffered from high soil density due to overuse. The research used a perceptive methodology, observing impacts and analyzing soil samples at 0-10 cm depth to assess density, porosity, and texture. Findings highlight the need for trail recovery, improved drainage systems, and environmental education for users to mitigate these effects. The REJ's ongoing recategorization process adds complexity to its management.
