Guaraqueçaba Environmental Protection Area
Guaraqueçaba Environmental Protection Area, Nature reserve in Paraná, Brazil
The Guaraqueçaba Environmental Protection Area spans 282,444 hectares of Atlantic Forest, mangrove swamps, salt marshes, and coastal marine environments in southern Brazil.
The Brazilian government established this protected area in January 1985 to preserve one of the remaining sections of Atlantic Forest and its diverse ecosystems.
Local communities known as caiçaras maintain their traditional practices within the reserve while participating in environmental conservation efforts alongside research organizations.
The Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation manages visitor access and monitors activities to ensure sustainable use of natural resources within the protected zone.
This reserve houses the Superagui lion tamarin and black-fronted piping guan, while its projects aim to reduce 6.6 million tons of carbon dioxide over 40 years.
