National Day Atlantic forest<\/strong>, World Environmental Day, celebrated on May 27th, comes at a time when environmental preservation has ceased to be an optional issue and has become an urgent necessity for survival. Currently, Atlantic forest<\/strong> It is one of the most fragmented biomes in the world, with only a small fraction of its original coverage still standing. This scenario is a direct result of centuries of rampant human exploitation, which replaced dense forests with urban areas and pastures, resulting in a critical loss of biodiversity and, above all, compromising water resources. The water scarcity and climate imbalance felt today in cities are direct reflections of this human pressure on springs and riparian forests.<\/span><\/p>\n According to researchers from MapBiomas, the amount of native vegetation fragments in Brazil grew by 163% in 38 years, increasing from 2.7 million in 1986 to 7.1 million in 2023. And the Atlantic forest<\/strong> The Cerrado biome appears with the largest absolute number of native vegetation fragments, but for different reasons. According to the technical coordinator of... Atlantic forest<\/strong> In MapBiomas, Natalia Crusco states, \u201cwhile in the Cerrado the increase in the number of fragments is associated with the advance of deforestation and the division of large remaining areas of native vegetation, in Atlantic forest<\/strong>, Part of this increase can also be explained by a process in the opposite direction to deforestation, that is, by the emergence of multiple areas of secondary vegetation recovery. The data from this research are freely available on the platform.<\/span> https:\/\/plataforma.brasil.mapbiomas.org\/<\/span><\/i><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFragments of the Atlantic Forest<\/b><\/h3>\n
