The Private Natural Heritage Reserves of Brazil in the Scientific Literature: Themes and Contributions
Abstract
In Brazil, the Privately Protected Areas (PPA) is known as the Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN). This is a kind of Sustainable Use Conservation Unit with limitations regulated by the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC). This study aims to identify and analyze the themes and contributions arising from the contents published in scientific journals with an interest in in situ conservation based on private areas of RPPN in Brazil, related to the period between 1990 and 2020. Thus, articles from the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases were selected. Subsequently, a qualitative análisis of the data was carried out, through a systematic review based on the content analysis method using the ATLAS.ti software. This made it possible to identify 79 studies linked to the biological thematic field, 11 linked to the socio-environmental thematic field and 6 related to the physical thematic field. The result points out that the most common forms of contribution are those related to the identification of endangered fauna and flora species and new records of species inside privately protected areas. Exceptionally, the record of the discovery of new species in an RPPN area.
