O direito ambiental amparando a conservação dos recursos naturais nas APAS na região noroeste do Paraná

Abstract

This study was subject to environmental management involving the Environmental Protection Areas (APAs), more specifically the Ribeirão Araras located in the northwestern region of Paraná. Seeking to analyze through bibliographic and documentary (photos) elements of conservation of natural resources in this area that has 1,922 hectares, located in the rural municipality from Paranavaí and consists of private properties subsidies. It also sought to explain the definition of the environment, ecological imbalance involving the man and the environment, as well as analyze the legal protection and the concept of conservation of the environment within the current Federal Constitution. It is understood that the APAs suffer constant degradation and fail to stop the harmful actions of humans, and there needs to be a more specific action on behalf of their defense, especially the local population. We conclude that the legal units still can’t be fully efficient as the practice of laws and enforcement of conservation areas. But it is not only the state or federal government agencies oversee and put into practice the protective dynamics. It is for man to interfere with his neighbor, spreading awareness of preservation, no degradation for their own benefit, the quality of life tomorrow.
