Reserva de desenvolvimento sustentável (rds) mamirauá e amanã uso de espaços não formais na disciplina de biologia da conservação

Abstract

This work aims to describe the reports elaborated in a discipline of Conservation Biology performed in a non-formal space: SDR Mamirauá and Amanã Sustainable Development Reserve in the Graduation Program in Biological Diversity of the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM). We performed practical activities to quantify number of palm trees, mungubas, trumpet trees, and macrophytes in order to describe the environmental characterization. The understanding of some basic concepts of Conservation Biology as census, survey, density, natural abundance, natural wealth, habitat, sampling unit, water resources, management, preservation, conservation, and confluence meeting of rivers, their understandings were more accessible and fixed with exuberance of this unit to touching with their own hands and to see in person. The monitoring of hunting activities on trails, technical visits to the Centre for Rehabilitation of the Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis), excavations at archaeological sites, visit the inn to the knowledge of ecotourism activities with aquatic macrophytes, survey of fish diversity and quantification alligators per kilometer were performed. The SDR Mamirauá, and Amanã have a great potential as a nonformal space where relevant topics aimed at maintaining biodiversity can be experienced as a common activity of daily life.
