For about 112 million inhabitants (70% of the Brazilian population) who live in its domain, it regulates the flow of water sources, ensures soil fertility, controls the climate and protects cliffs and mountain slopes, in addition to preserving a natural heritage. and immensely cultural.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Atlantic Forest, several rivers are born that supply Brazilian cities and metropolises, and this is one of the factors that has contributed to the problems of water scarcity, mainly associated with waste, misuse of water, deforestation and pollution. The Atlantic Forest is considered a National Heritage by the Federal Constitution (Art. 225). There are numerous publications, both national and international, that endorse its importance and the need for its protection. It is a Brazilian biome threatened with extinction and is among the most important and threatened in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brazil is considered one of the twelve countries endowed with the so-called megadiversity, and is a signatory to the Convention on Biodiversity. In this context, the Atlantic Forest is considered one of the largest repositories of biodiversity on the planet and holds the record for endemic woody plants (angiosperms), in addition to records for the number of species and endemism in several other groups of plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With regard to wild fauna, according to data from the Ministry of the Environment, the Atlantic Forest is home to about 250 species of mammals (55 of them endemic), 340 amphibians (87 endemic), 197 of reptiles (60 endemic), 1,023 of birds (188 endemic), in addition to approximately 350 species of fish (113 endemic). Not to mention insects and other invertebrates and species that have not yet been discovered by science.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Atlantic Forest is currently home to 383 of the 633 animals threatened with extinction in Brazil, according to the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA). The biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest is similar to that of the Amazon. Lion tamarin, jaguar, sloth, capybara are some of the best known animals that live in the Atlantic Forest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fauna of the Atlantic Forest is protected by the Constitution, in accordance with Law 5,197\/67 and also by the Environmental Crimes Law (9,605\/98). Global initiatives with regional and local developments, such as agenda 21, are also a support instrument for the protection of fauna. But all these elements depend on the political will of the government, the awareness, mobilization and participation of citizens and the dissemination of the concept of sustainability in economic activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"#\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\".fusion-modal.mataatlantica\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">KEEP READING\u2026<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--link_hover_color: #008041;--awb-border-color:#dbdbdb;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:35px;--awb-padding-bottom:35px;--awb-padding-top-small:17.5px;--awb-padding-bottom-small:17.5px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-center fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-center\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:15px;--awb-padding-left:15px;--awb-padding-right-small:5px;--awb-padding-left-small:5px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#d6d6d6;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\"fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" title=\"Rio-Camanducaia-3\" src=\"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-Camanducaia-3.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-Camanducaia-3-200x125.jpg 200w, https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-Camanducaia-3-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-Camanducaia-3-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-Camanducaia-3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-center\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:15px;--awb-padding-left:15px;--awb-padding-right-small:5px;--awb-padding-left-small:5px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#d6d6d6;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5 sm-text-align-left\" style=\"--awb-font-size:20px;--awb-line-height:25px;--awb-text-color:#008041;--awb-text-font-family:&quot;Montserrat&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p><b>Camanducaia River<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Camanducaia River basin, a sub-basin of the Piracicaba, Capivari and Jundia\u00ed Rivers (PCJ) hydrographic basins, is a water producing region, considered extremely important for public supply, mainly in the municipality of Amparo.

These areas, which today are mainly occupied by pastures, agricultural crops and also buildings, are highly degraded, which directly harms their ecological function of conserving water, protecting the soil from erosion, and ensuring the maintenance and conservation of local biodiversity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-2 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"#\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\".fusion-modal.riocamanducaia\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">KEEP READING\u2026<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--link_hover_color: #008041;--awb-border-color:#dbdbdb;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:35px;--awb-padding-bottom:70px;--awb-padding-top-small:17.5px;--awb-padding-bottom-small:17.5px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-center fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-center\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:15px;--awb-padding-left:15px;--awb-padding-right-small:5px;--awb-padding-left-small:5px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#d6d6d6;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\"fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-4 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" title=\"River-of-Peixe-2\" src=\"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-do-Peixe-2.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-do-Peixe-2-200x125.jpg 200w, https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-do-Peixe-2-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-do-Peixe-2-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rio-do-Peixe-2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-center\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:15px;--awb-padding-left:15px;--awb-padding-right-small:5px;--awb-padding-left-small:5px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#d6d6d6;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7 sm-text-align-left\" style=\"--awb-font-size:20px;--awb-line-height:25px;--awb-text-color:#008041;--awb-text-font-family:&quot;Montserrat&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p><b>fish river<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rio do Peixe, with a flow of 11.97 m\u00b3\/s, is the main tributary on the left bank of the Mogi Gua\u00e7u River and the most important river in the Circuito das \u00c1guas Paulista. It is a source of water supply and the main tourist attraction in the region. It has its sources in Serra da Mantiqueira, in the south of Minas Gerais. It is popularly considered that its source is located in the Minas Gerais municipality of Senador Amaral-MG, but studies indicate the source in Munhoz-MG.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-modal modal fade modal-3 riodopeixe\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-labelledby=\"modal-heading-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"--awb-border-color:#e2e2e2;--awb-background:#ffffff;\"><div class=\"modal-dialog modal-lg\" role=\"document\"><div class=\"modal-content fusion-modal-content\"><div class=\"modal-header\"><button class=\"close\" type=\"button\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"close\">\u00d7<\/button><h3 class=\"modal-title\" id=\"modal-heading-3\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\">fish river<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"modal-body fusion-clearfix\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Minas Gerais, the Peixe River is called the Corrente River and divides the municipalities of Munhoz-MG and Socorro-SP. In the municipality of Socorro, upon receiving the waters of the Cachoeirinha river, coming from the municipality of Bueno Brand\u00e3o-MG, it is now called the Peixe River. From its source in the municipality of Munhoz-MG, to its mouth, on the Mogi Gua\u00e7u River (municipality of Itapira-SP), the Peixe River travels 147.2 km, directly bathing five municipalities, namely: Munhoz, Socorro, Serra Negra, Lind\u00f3ia and Itapira. Its basin has a drainage area of approximately 1700 km\u00b2 and is home to about 275 thousand inhabitants, distributed in eleven municipalities. Five from the south of Minas Gerais (Bom Repouso, Bueno Brand\u00e3o, Monte Si\u00e3o, Munhoz and Senador Amaral) and six from the east of S\u00e3o Paulo (\u00c1guas de Lind\u00f3ia, Amparo, Itapira, Lind\u00f3ia, Serra Negra and Socorro).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Peixe River receives water from important tributaries, namely: the Antas River, the Fundo stream, the Serra Negra stream, the Barreiro stream and the Penha stream, in addition to the Cachoeirinha river.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Peixe River basin is part of the Atlantic Forest biome and has a great wealth of plant formations. Over time, due to human occupation, most of the Atlantic Forest was deforested, leaving today only 4% of the original vegetation in the basin. Much of the initial devastation was caused by coffee growing which, after the decline, was replaced by pastures, annual crops and buildings. By force of laws and the rugged topography, which makes access difficult, many stretches are no longer managed and after 30 or 40 years of spontaneous regeneration, they once again show native arboreal vegetation, now as secondary forests. These, however, are still relatively new and devoid of the original richness of species.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The native vegetation (riparian forest) occupies 575.7 hectares (42.1%) of the Permanent Protection Area (APP) of the Peixe river, in the form of numerous fragments, the vast majority of which are less than 1.0 ha (approximately 1 field of football). A worrying fact is that only three fragments have an area larger than 10.0 ha, the largest of which is only 13.06 ha. In addition to being small, most fragments have little diversity of flora species, are disconnected and suffer from trampling by cattle.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-3 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"#\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\".fusion-modal.riodopeixe\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">KEEP READING\u2026<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-9 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-center\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:15px;--awb-padding-left:15px;--awb-padding-right-small:5px;--awb-padding-left-small:5px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-border-color:#d6d6d6;--awb-border-style:solid;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-row\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-562","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=562"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4725,"href":"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/562\/revisions\/4725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/copaiba.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
