O título de Patrimônio Natural da Humanidade e a conservação da biodiversidade: o caso do Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros

UNESCO World Heritage designations serve as symbolic shields for biodiversity conservation, offering political protection against environmental degradation. A study focusing on the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park (PNCV) in Brazil's Cerrado bioma reveals that while these titles provide significant symbolic value and deter harmful actions due to their official status, their effectiveness is limited by dependency on national policies and societal engagement. The research examines PNCV's characteristics, its historical changes from 1961 to 2017, and compares it with other World Heritage sites, including cases in Australia and Brazil. It concludes that, despite their potential, these mechanisms often face skepticism and require active support from both governments and society to be truly effective.
