transportation support to get to know more deeply the initiative previously explained
during the visit, and then register to participate in the training.
Of the fifty-two young guests, forty-seven came on the appointed day and made
their entries to participate in the formations, which were offered intensively over the
next five saturdays. At the time of enrollment, the initial indicators were collected
from the application of personal questionnaires, previously tested in a pilot group. The
questionnaires were elaborated in order to investigate the environmental perception
about ecosystem services and previous knowledge about conservation of nature and
conservation units, so that it could be compared later with indicators collected in the
same way at the end of each module of the formations.
The modules took place within the Conservation Units of the region, prioritizing
immersion in protected areas and living with the people who work as researchers,
inspectors and managers. This action was thus determined to meet the demand
pointed out by surrounding communities in relation to promoting the transparency
of management actions and management of reserves.
The modules of the formations were chosen to bring elucidation and knowledge
about the themes related to nature conservation and sustainable development, as well
as for young people to know the possibilities of study and related work. The methodology of the classes was theoretical-practical, previously planned and executed by
specialists in the areas. Physical structures and research equipment already installed
in reserves such as auditoriums, trails, carbon measurement plots, ecological restoration areas, native seedlings nurseries, trap cameras, bird monitoring equipment, GPS,
projector and computers were used in the development of modules that addressed:
– Conservation of Nature: concepts, importance, confronted problems, societynature relationship, climate change, Brazilian environmental legislation, National
System of Conservation Units (SNUC).
– Atlantic Forest Fauna: main species, identification, relationships with the forest,
threats, traditional knowledge, monitoring methods and research carried out in the
region.
– Flora of the Atlantic Forest: main species, traditional knowledge, identification,
relationships with the fauna, indices of deforestation and ecological restoration
projects carried out in the region.
– Sustainable Development: concepts, reflections on traditional development and
local opportunities for sustainable development, production of nature, regional
entrepreneurship, Agenda 2030, life plan and mapping of natural and cultural
wealth.
– Boarded Lesson: Navigation through the bay with landscape analysis and application of the knowledge acquired for the development of the “17 objectives to
transform our world”, visit to the conservation project of the purple-headed parrot
for nests monitoring and conversation with researchers and community involved
with the project on Rasa Island, Guaraqueçaba, Paraná.
During the training sessions, students were able to exchange experiences with
each other and with experienced researchers in the region on the landscape, Brazilian environmental legislation, biodiversity and local culture, as well as on regional
