Bio-diversity

The objective of this project is to identify and list the caves in the state of Tocantins, taking photographic records of their fauna and flora. Conservation of the caves and their surroundings is also planned. Archeological site and critical area conservation will be promoted, as will environmental sensitization for adequate environmental use of the caves. Possible solutions to disturbances in these areas will be identified. Most of the population in the state is not aware of the caves ant their potential. The caves which are known suffer vandalism and depredation due to a lack of knowledge about their value and importance in the ecosystem, in an environmental, social, and economic context. Monitoring of the biodiversity in these caves will be carried out, for future sustainable ecotourism projects.
