| Abstract | Community-based management of fruits as strategy for conserving the juçara palm (Euterpe edulis Mart.) in the Atlantic Forest The establishment of protected areas has been considered the main strategy to ensure biodiversity conservation, especially those of restricted use, which often fails to address local issues such as culture, socioeconomic and political context or the livelihoods of communities the used to have straight interaction with the landscape. However, several studies have demonstrated the potential to promote conservation through productive systems, while harmonizing protection of natural resources to territorial development. In this context, the present study addresses the potential of community forestry in promoting the conservation of juçara palm, a species drastically overharvested by illegal cutting of palm hearts. Thus, the population structure and fruit production in agroforestry systems, managed secondary forests and strictly protected areas were surveyed. Estimates of economic return for fruit and palm heart management were also made. It was found that community forest management, especially in secondary forests is more effective for conserving juçara than areas under restricted use regime. In the meanwhile, the management to obtain fruits was more profitable than the management for palm heart, besides being more favorable for the species conservation and fruit availability for wildlife. |
