Parque Nacional Chapada dos Veadeiros e as características socioeconômicas dos municípios limítrofes

A study reveals that the Cerrado Protected Areas, particularly the Parque Nacional Chapada dos Veadeiros (PNCV), hold significant potential for sustainable economic development. This could foster growth and improve living conditions for nearby communities in Goiás, Brazil. The research analyzed socio-economic impacts using IBGE statistical data, highlighting that these municipalities are small with high poverty rates and median Human Development Indexes, except for Alto Paraíso. The PNCV's biodiversity richness contrasts sharply with its human-induced degradation, primarily driven by agropecuary activities. This study underscores the importance of balancing environmental conservation with socio-economic benefits to mitigate poverty and drive sustainable development in these regions.
