Impacto ambiental da estração de areia no Campo Grande em Praintins

Abstract

This work was developed in the suburban area of ​​the municipality of Parintins, where the interest in analyzing the effects caused by anthropic action arose. To direct the research, the general objective is to understand the impacts of sand extraction on the ecosystem of the area called Campo Grande (sandy) in Parintins/Am. The location has sandy soil, serving as raw material for construction and other purposes. The methodology followed the following steps, a qualitative, observational, descriptive research, as it is essential to analyze all the information collected and subsequently group it to achieve the intended results. To better understand the theme, bibliographic research was used to serve as a conceptual basis, focused on authors such as Balée (2013); Silva (2022); Cabral (2012) et al. and documentary research based on documents from the public institution. The research method is inductive, as the understanding of phenomena generally expands to encompass increasingly broader concepts, starting with specific observations and advancing to general laws and theories. Finally, it was concluded that in the observations carried out on site, degradation of the soil, vegetation, water table and springs that exist in the area is observed. There is also a lack of sensitivity towards nature, of not valuing its importance, being seen only as a source of infinite resources, when it has its limits and, once exceeded, can stop maintaining its natural landscape, modifying and altering the entire ecosystem of which human beings are an integral part and end up suffering the consequences of their own actions.
