Foundation: State Decret no. 31.343, on june 5, 2002
Basis:
• To assure the remains forest preservation of Serra do
Mar’s Atlantic Rain Forest and also to restore
degradeted areas;
• To preserve rare species, endemics and in dangerous
of extinction or insufficiently known of fauna and flora
• To join the Serra do Mar’s Ecologic Central Corridor;
• To assure the maintenance of nascents and hidric
resources that provide the cities around the areas;
• To stimulate recreation activities, environmental
education and scientific research when compatible with
the Park’s objectives.

Biodiversity data as a support to protect Atlantic Forest in Brazil:
preliminary comments
• Papers published during 80’ years about Atlantic Forest
ecology was rare, in spite the most important brazilian scientific
institutions and universities be happened in it’s ocurrence area;
• During the 90’ years the scientific publications had a great
jump but the functionality of the forests only begins to be
studied in the end of the decade;
• Data from biological collections, deposited in Museums and
herbaria, with the specialist’s knowledge, have supported this
conservation process;
• Workshops’ promoted during 90’ years, mainly for
Conservation International of Brazil, gathered the most active
researchers in flora and fauna. The data inventoried by them
stablished the criteria to define priority areas for conservation.
