THE REFORESTATION IN THE CAATINGA NORTHEASTERN

The outback “Caatinga” is a part of the interior of northeastern Brazil where little rain during the year. It has about 800,000 kilometers , Approximately 10% of the national territory , consisting almost by the states of Piauí, Maranhão, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Sergipe, Alagoas, Bahia and the northern part of Minas Gerais. The vegetation of the Caatinga is quite diverse with different regions that happen due to rainy part, fertility and the type of soil and relief. There is a division between the savanna hinterlands. The rough is a transitional area between the Atlantic forest and the dry interior. The hinterland has more rustic vegetation.

Many people believe that the caatinga is poor biome because the climate and arid with little vegetation presence. However the caatinga is rich in species of animals and vegetables, many of them endemic. This biome has Important Biodiversity and must be valued and preserved and valued. Were identified Caatinga 44 species of reptiles, birds 695 17 amphibians, and mammals 120 a total of 876 species of vertebrates.

In other Brazilian biomes, the Caatinga has suffered from deforestation and other predatory actions, (hunting and disordered human occupation ). The extensive cattle for example is one of the major problems of currently. If there is no preservation of the caatinga, we have the extinction of many animal species and plants typical of this biome. Another environmental problem which is already occurring due to deforestation, is the increase in the caatinga part turnining desert.

The types of origin of plants from caatinga.

Our Objetive is to make the reforestation preserve and bring back many plants that are almost extinct in the Caatinga. See below the names :

THE MAIN OUTBACK PLANTS:

Aroeira, Angíco, Juazeiro, Caroá, Xique-xique, Mandacaru, Palma, Catingueira, Jurema, Carnaúba, Malva Branca, Jitirana, Aveloz, Morfumbos, Pinhões, Oiticica, Algarobas, Imburanas, Marmeleiros, Maracujá do Mato.

RESTORATION PLAN, PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION OF NORTHEASTERN CAATINGA.

Our Oasis in the northeast project demonstrates through applicable technologies is possible to restore and process reversal of caatinga through a reforestation various types of native plants. We have a good area of environmental protection toward a renewable reservation. We want to make a positive environmental impact, reversing all negative action transforming positively.

The nature and very complex and has quite fast regeneration of power according to the modification changes caused by the man or the environment. We will work in harmony with the ecosystem, producing sustainable agribusiness without polluting we will harmonize a practical and objective way to humans, animals and the environment.
