Área de Proteção Ambiental Lagoas e Dunas do Abaeté, Environmental Protection Area in Salvador, Brazil
The Lagoas e Dunas do Abaeté Protection Area spans 1,800 hectares, featuring white sand dunes surrounding a dark water lagoon with native vegetation.
The area received official protection status through State Decree 351 in September 1987, later redefined by Decree 2540 in October 1993.
Local communities maintain strong connections to the area, with traditional religious practices and ceremonies taking place near the lagoon.
The protection area divides into two zones: the Permanent Preservation Zone and the Controlled Occupation Zone, managed by Bahia's Environmental Institute.
Between 1976 and 2017, urban development within the protected area increased by 1,161 percent, reducing the original lagoons and dune formations.
