Campos Gerais: a national park and a state park in the same landscape

On the Paraná plateau, the federal government created a park in 2006 over land that was already farmed; the state created another in 1996 around a canyon. This story follows both through satellite pictures from four eras, paints each clearing in the colour of the president of the day, and compares the two parks term by term.

Notes

  1. Law 9,985/2000 (SNUC), art. 11 §1: a National Park is public property, and private holdings within its limits are to be expropriated. Law 9,985/2000.
  2. Hansen Global Forest Change counts loss of canopy with ≥ 30% cover in 2000; MapBiomas (Collection 11) keeps native forest and grassland apart from plantations, and first clearing is class 4 of its deforestation and secondary-vegetation product. Hansen et al. (2013), Science 342; Souza et al. (2020), Remote Sensing 12, 2735.
  3. Native grassland turned into fields often does not count as "deforestation" in forest products; that is why the page also shows each year's grassland area. MapBiomas, Collection 11.
