<p>Com a saturação do turismo convencional e com o surgimento de novas modalidades de turismo, as áreas naturais protegidas vêm recebendo um fluxo crescente de visitantes para prática do turismo natural (atividade turística que utiliza o Patrimônio Natural como atrativo), tendo como consequência o aumento da pressão dos recursos naturais, ampliando a preocupação com os impactos gerados por tal atividade. Para a prática desse turismo, em quase sua totalidade, as trilhas são utilizadas como ligação e meio de contato entre o homem e a natureza. No entanto, esse contato acaba provocando alguns impactos negativos nas trilhas. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi o de caracterizar o uso da trilha e avaliar suas condições, bem como propor alternativas de manejo que possam promover o uso sustentável da Trilha das Macaúbas localizada na Floresta Nacional de Ritápolis, Minas Gerais. Para realização desse levantamento, a trilha foi dividida em diversos segmentos nos quais foram utilizadas três metodologias: AST – Área Seccional Transversal; Penetrometria; Tabela de Indicadores. Os dados obtidos permitiram avaliar os impactos causados pelo uso da trilha, tais como: compactação do solo do leito da trilha; perda de solo no leito da trilha; danos na vegetação e borda da trilha; etc. Assim, são propostas algumas alternativas de manejo para diminuição e mitigação dos impactos causados na trilha.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>With the saturation of conventional tourism and the rise of new kinds of tourism, some protected areas have been receiving and increasing flow of visitors for the practice of natural tourism (tourist activity which uses the natural heritage as an attraction), resulting in the increase of the pressure on natural resources, maximizing the concern over the impacts produced by such activity. For the practice of this kind of tourism, the trails are almost entirely used as a link and means of contact between man and nature. However, this contact ends up causing some negative impacts on the trails. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the use of the trails and evaluate their conditions as well as propose management alternatives that can promote the sustainable use of the Macaúbas Trail, located in the Ritápolis National Forest, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. To perform this survey, the trail was divided into several segments in which three methods were used: CSA - Cross Sectional Area; Penetrometry; Indicators chart. The obtained data allowed the evaluation of the impacts caused by the use of the trails, such as: the compaction of soil in the trail bed, the loss of soil in the trail bed, the damage to the vegetation and to edge of the trail. Thus, some management alternatives are proposed in order to reduce and mitigate the impacts on the trails.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong><strong>: </strong>Protected Areas, trail management, ecotourism.</p><p> </p>

Protected areas are designed to maintain environmental conditions that favor the occurrence of a wide variety of taxa. However, few studies have devoted attention to inventories of biota in these areas. In this study, we provide a checklist of cladocerans for the poorly studied Sempre Vivas National Park, Minas Gerais state. Samples were collected in lotic and lentic environments, with a total of 27 species being recorded and the highest contribution coming from the Chydoridae family (21 spp.). Minas Gerais state is widely studied in relation to cladoceran fauna; nevertheless, the results indicate three new records. The genus Monospilus was reported for the first time in the Neotropical region.

Cerrado and Atlantic Forest brazilian biomes are biodiversity hotspots that still have few areas under legal protection, especially on Minas Gerais State. Protected areas are essential to maintain environmental services, and it is necessary to know the fauna present and protected. With this aim, a medium and large sized mammal survey was conducted from January to December 2006 on two brazilian parks, trough tracks stations and active searches. These parks were Serra do Brigadeiro State Park (Atlantic Forest reserve) and Rio Preto State Park (Cerrado reserve), and had 19 and 23 species recorded, respectively. In total, 33 species were recorded and important discussions about their abundance and occurrences are presented. Relevant registers were obtained, and almost 18% of threatened mammalian fauna from Minas Gerais State were represented, highlighting the importance of protected areas.

AbstractThe bush dog Speothos venaticus, a rare Near Threatened South American canid that lives in packs, was thought to be extinct in Minas Gerais state, south-eastern Brazil, until recently. Here, we report four recent records of the species in Minas Gerais, the first in the state since the description of the species in 1842. All records are from the Cerrado ecosystem in the north and north-west of the state; two are from animals found dead, one from footprints and another from a camera trap. Three of the records were inside or close (< 10 km) to strict protected areas, in a region recognized as the Protected Areas Mosaic Sertão Veredas–Peruaçu, where we expect any new records of the bush dog to be found. We discuss the low probability of detecting the bush dog and the main regional threats to the species, and emphasize the need to protect large and interconnected natural areas and keep them free of domestic dogs to avoid the extinction of the bush dog in Minas Gerais.
