Translated title:

Schmidt-Silva Machado, Jutta (2012) Land Use, Biodiversity and Nature Conservation. A Case Study on the Use of Private Forest Fragments of the Atlantic Forest in the São Paulo City Green Belt Biosphere Reserve, Brazil. PhD thesis, University of Cologne.

Translated abstract:
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest, the Mata Atlântica, is a prime hot spot of biodiversity, and therefore, it has priority protection status in the global community. Within the past 500 years, the stock of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest has been reduced from over one million square kilometers to just seven to eleven percent of the original extent of the biome. About two-thirds of the Mata Atlântica is privately owned, and despite numerous conservation initiatives, deforestation and threats to animal and plant species persist. This PhD thesis explores the use and management of private forest fragments of the Atlantic Forest in the São Paulo City Green Belt Biosphere Reserve, and illustrates the complex interdependence of land use, biodiversity, and nature conservation. This study aims to identify the specific uses and perception of the Mata Atlântica and other local forms of land use by traditional farmers, Japanese immigrants, and the urban population and analyzes the internal and external factors influencing the implementation of conservation policies. As important forest fragments are located in close proximity to the mega city of São Paulo, this study also examines the influence of the commute of inhabitants of the agglomeration of São Paulo to the neighboring communities and the resulting pressure on forest fragments. For the collection of qualitative and quantitative data, an 18-month field research project was conducted in the municipality of Ibiúna in the São Paulo City Green Belt Biosphere Reserve between 2003 and 2005.
