Brazilian East Coast Range (3058 KM)

Brazil is the country that probably hides in its own territory the largest extension of mountain range “Serra do Mar”, “Serra Mantiqueira , “Serra do Espinhaço“

I T E R E I Iguassu CR MCPA Florestas Montanhas Br116/SP4

In contrast to the Andes, which rose to elevations of nearly 7,000 metres (22,966 ft) in a relatively recent epoch and inverted the Amazon's direction of flow from westward to eastward, Brazil's geological formation is very old.

Precambrian crystalline shields cover 36% of the territory, especially its central area. The principal mountain ranges average elevations just under 2,000 metres (6,562 ft).

The Serra do Mar Range, 150.000.000 years old hugs the Atlantic coast, and the Serra do Espinhaço Range, the largest in area, extends through the south-central part of the country.

The highest point in Rio de Janeiro, Pico das Agulhas Negras (2.787 metros)

A Pedra da Mina is the fourth highest brazilian mountain is located in the Serra da Mantiqueira (22 ° 25 'S, 44 ° 51' W) 2798.39m altitude

The highest brazilian mountains are in the Tumucumaque, Pacaraima and Imeri ranges, among others, which traverse the northern border with the Guianas and Venezuela. The highest point in Brazil is Pico da Neblina at 2,994 m (9,823 ft).

The Serra da Mantiqueira almost five hundred kilometers in length , hides several health tourist resorts, such as Campos do Jordão, Brazil's highest city. The name Mantiqueira derives from a Tupy Guarano word meaning "mountains that cry", exemplifying its large number of springs and streams

It is by this Serra do Mar that brazilian population mostly lives, using water and other benefits from these mountain systems .

It is along the Brazilian East Coastal Range where are located most of our cities and the metropolis Florianópolis, Curitiba, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Vitória, Salvador, Recife etc and thus as most industries, infra- structure and services .

Cloud Forest and Lots of Pure Water, threatened by hiway fragmentation

Itere i, near São Paulo , in the core area of the Atlantic Rainforest World Heritage- Mab - Unesco is officially under private protection, since 1978. Iterei is an all season Park comprising 193,6 hectares, along the highest slope of "Serra do Mar", 750 meters. In Iterei borns a network of more than 50 permanent sparkling mountain streams . Trails through the spectacular remnant hillside rainforest cross a wide diversity of 20-30m high trees belonging to

Schyzolobium, Vochysia, Ocotea and Nectrandra genera, which sponsors wonderful green scenery. These huge trees are glamorized by epiphytes chiefly pteriodofts or colorful bromeliads and orchids. Iterei is natural habitat formammals at least (89 species), reptiles &amphibians (over 125 species), insects and aracnideos (too many to count!), birds(over 275 species) including 18 endangered species! Iterei offers mountain environmental services for the populations of Sao Paulo and downhill.

“Habitat fragmentation is the process by which habitat loss results in the division of large, continuous habitats into smaller, more isolated remnants A dominant effect of increasing habitat loss is a reduction in patch area, with resulting declines in population density and species richness, and significant alterations to community composition, species interactions and ecosystem functioning.” Raphael K Didham, The University of Western Australia and CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences, Perth WA,

Should we take lessons with the Japanese?

A year after the floods that have killed over 900 people in the mountain region of Rio de Janeiro, only eight works to solve the problem of more than 170 areas identified as high risk of landslides began. Nothing has been done to date, reports the 3rd Inspection Report to the Highlands, released on Wednesday (11) by the Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy of Rio de Janeiro (RJ-Crea).

Risk Management Areas in Brazilian Moist Tropical Highlands

The Crea-RJ tecnichians survey found that the process of disordered occupation of the soil persists, mainly for

agricultural activities, deforestation of permanent preservation areas, and the reoccupation of areas at risk, with

the construction of houses on these sites.Among the immediate guidance, the report proposes the creation and implementation of a plan for removal of the

population over time with priority for high-risk areas, implement small and medium dams filled, interventions on

the slopes, make effective sanitary sewer and trash drainage basin, among other recommendations.

incorporation to the concept of sustainability of the concept of survival

It urges the incorporation to the concept of sustainability, the concept of survival considering that in one year the

average number of victims was more than quadrupled since 1980 (66.000 deaths) and costed about $ 130

billion. 950 natural disasters were recorded in 2010, a figure well above the average of 615 over the last 30

years. In Brazil, relapse enhanced, the tragedies of the highlands, by 2011; Over the next 60 years, the storms in the city of São Paulo and in Rio de Janeiro, in the coastal towns and along the Atlantic Mountain Range - Serra do

Mar - will triple, as, scientific study conducted by INPE (National Institute for Space Research) in partnership

with the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and IAE (Institute of Aeronautics and Space). The forecast is

based on increasing the temperature Atlantic Ocean water over the past 60 years, which was 0.6 ° C.;

Threaned Cassador Basin and yet Civil ResistenceProtestors block Brazil road project -The Earth Times by Jack Freeman,

located in the core area, of the Atlantic Rainforest World Heritage- Mab – Unesco, it hides the Iterei Fauna and

Flora Reserve, officially under private protection, since 1978 (P-163/78IBDF) and an official member of Planet Society-

Unesco (Project BRA022) Around there it is planned the duplication of the hiway dividing these important area.

"It must be made clear," they say in a flyer, "that there is no opposition to the construction of the highway" itself, calling

it "a very important project linked to the economic well-being of millions of Latin Americans."

But, they add, "the rainforest must not be destroyed" by the roadbuilders. "The authorities must change the design of

the proposed duplication" of the roadway, they say, "in order to avoid destruction of a priceless ecosystem. A well

designed project will cause no harm to the environment; on the contrary, the unique nature of this beautiful landscape

will be enhanced."

They add that there are many examples, the world over, of environmentally insensitive building projects that have

been reversed because of pressure brought by environmentalists and the general public.

... Decision makers shall analyse all alternatives , weighting the true public interest, through the prism of medium and long term, regardless of the immediate costs, the forecast is to opt for greater safety of the population, to the less disastrous alternative, to the adoption of the best scientific and technological knowledge, with the purpose of ensuring to all the multiple functions of natural resources;

MVVC~CC recommendations

I T E R E I Iguassu CR MCPA Florestas Montanhas Br116/SP43

1. PES incentives for preservation for all natural mountain areas directly to the owner : State, Comuny or Private2. Alert with dependence and addiction with compensation mechanisms3. Support Sustainability based upon ecotourism, research, art, artcrafts, no polluent industries, agroecology and

traditional mountain knowledge4. Increase dialogue between government sectors, and government levels5. Support a Stronger Civil Society 6. Increase inter-institutional dialogue7. Further institutionalization of participation instruments8. Raise awareness of mountain issues on political agendas9. Consolidate or create specific mountain initiatives where appropriate10. Improve sustainable mobility and sustainable technology for infrastructure11. Improve knowledge and information systems12. Improve data on natural mountain disaster13. Increase availability of academic and traditional knowledge for specific SMD purposes and decision makin14. Coordinate research priorities for implementing SMD15. Consolidate or create specific national or regional mountain initiatives16. Research and monitoring of climate change adaptation mechanisms, especially with regard to water availability

Art intervention on landscapes is a positive alteration to the landscapes In the perspective of world's population, up to 9 billion inhabitants in 2050, it will not be the unique human alteration on Earth!In view of the scarcity of natural resources , we propose to launch the green building to popular mountain housing and add the artistic plus
