RESUMO:

Accelerated urban expansion and the fragmentation of native vegetation have caused a significant loss of ecological connectivity in Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso, Brazil, compromising ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity maintenance. In this context, urban ecological corridors represent a key strategy to mitigate the negative impacts of urbanization on wildlife by facilitating biological flows and restoring landscape ecological functionality. This study aims to propose a multifunctional urban ecological corridor planning framework connecting forest fragments located within Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs) associated with protected springs, using Least-Cost Path (LCP) modeling. Land use and land cover data, landscape ecology metrics, and resistance surfaces were integrated based on functional groups with distinct sensitivities to urbanization generalist, intermediate, and sensitive species represented by arboreal primates from the local fauna. The modeling framework combined altimetric information, image classification, and fragmentation metrics, enabling the identification of potential connectivity routes, priority areas for intervention, and critical bottlenecks affecting ecological connectivity. The results demonstrate the presence of viable connectivity routes among the analyzed PPAs, highlighting areas with higher connectivity potential, particularly larger spring-associated Permanent Preservation Areas, such as Saracura II (15.04 ha) and Buritis (14.51 ha). These areas act as structural landscape cores, enhancing ecological connectivity and providing suitable conditions for the maintenance of more complex biological communities. Overall, the proposed approach provides robust technical and methodological support for sustainable urban planning, contributing to public policy development focused on biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration, and the consolidation of an integrated urban green infrastructure.
