RESUMO:

This study identifies and characterizes the wildfires impacts on the biocultural corridor in the Pantanal Biosphere Reserve (RBP), from the Chapada dos Guimarães National Park to the Serra das Araras Ecological Station. The Pantanal Biosphere Reserve (RBP) is of global importance because it encompasses the largest continuous wetland on the planet. The RBP title, granted by UNESCO, aims to ensure the conservation and use of biodiversity in regions of great ecological, economic and social value in the world. Biocultural corridors are based on the interconnection between ecosystems and the maintenance of their functions, as a path for biological and cultural exchange. The methodology adopted was bibliographic analysis, cross-referencing of geographic data and field observations. The results showed that the study area connects five geomorphological units: plateau, terraces, depressions, floodplain and mountain ranges. It is located in the Paraguay Hydrological Unit, encompassing part of the Paraguay River and a large portion of the Cuiabá River, with its sources, in the Cerrado biome. In this rich and complex scenario, macrohabitats emerge, marked by dry and rainy seasons; and annual drought and flooding, which influence the phenology of the vegetation. The mapping of priority areas for biodiversity conservation showed areas with very high and extremely high importance for conservation. As a result, the area has Conservation Units, with three Ramsar sites, core areas of the RBP, a World Heritage Site and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA). The occupation of the area by indigenous peoples, from the Bororo and Guató ethnic groups, traditional communities and quilombolas, who occupy the area from Chapada dos Guimarães, in the Cerrado biome, to Poconé, Santo Antônio de Leverger, Barão de Melgaço and Cáceres, in the Pantanal biome, was evidenced. Driving forces in the RBP, such as large-scale agriculture and livestock farming, mining, hydroelectric plants and land speculation have caused pressures with deforestation, fires, contamination by pesticides, mercury and silting of rivers. Unlike the Arc of Deforestation, in the Amazon rainforest, this research identified a cultural landscape in the form of an arc in the biocultural corridor. In a territorial planning strategy, This arc of the biocultural corridor presents itself as a path to reconnect macrohabitats, indigenous peoples and traditional communities that share knowledge and sociocultural practices. Studies in this RBP territory have the potential to support management instruments and public policies aimed at mitigating socio-environmental impacts in order to promote sustainable development and the maintenance of biocultural values and practices.
