Abstract

The Guarulhos County is situated within the São Paulo Metropolitan Region which is comprised and surrounded by the Biosphere Reserve of São Paulo City Green Belt. In this context Guarulhos has a strategic role since there is a total of nine Nature Conservation Areas within its boundary. These Conservation Areas are special
protected territories and extend to 42,4% of the Guarulhos County extent. The Conservation Areas are notably concentrated at the northern of Guarulhos on uplands of Mantiqueira. This landscape contrasts with the Guarulhos southern where the contour is hilly and comprises extensive alluvial plain presenting intensive land
use. Thus the geoenvironmental features presented by these Conservation Areas indicate a clear vocation for environmental services that should ensure the maintenance of the Guarulhos City and its surroundings. This paper sets out a proposal for assessment of the Guarulhos Conservation Units based on their geoenvironmental features and instruments of management.


Key words: conservation areas, Guarulhos, geoenvironmental, management.
