Geography and Environmental Studies

The environmental impacts in this XXI century increased dangerously and, thus, was reinforced the paradigm of maintaining the environment. In the context of an urban forest, was recommended the increase of green areas and the connectivity between them, as well as encourage greater use of native essences, even as an expansion in the diversity of species. The aim of this study was to diagnose the environmental conditions of Chico Mendes Municipal Park. The qualitative analysis of avifauna and plant was based on the presence and absence compared to other studies. The Sørensen index was estimated for flora and avifauna, and a review of the phytosanitary conditions of tree specimens. Thus, in the present study were cataloged 51 species of birds in the Chico Mendes Park, being 23 considered migratory and 28 as residents, 2 species of amphibians, reptiles 10, 9 mammals and 55 plants. The Sørensen index for avifauna expressed a similarity value of 0.65420 when compared to other studies; while the same index for tree flora was in order of 0.37500. It is necessary the development of awareness and transformation tools that promote behavioral change in the surrounding community.
