The Brazilian Atlantic Forest ranks first among the world's hotspots for biodiversity but has only 7% of its original area. In the northeast region due to the high degree of fragmentation and lower investment in conservation, despite numerous recent discoveries of new and endemic species. Protected Areas / Conservation Units (CUs) are the main form of preservation / conservation of biodiversity, through national and international efforts. Besides the creation of UC's, the effectiveness of these areas is essential and when fragmented, intertwined to allow gene flow between species. The most viable alternative for the creation of ecological corridors linking protected areas is through sustainable use areas, since the creation of more public property CUs in areas of ecological corridors in the Atlantic Forest is not feasible because of financial and social issues. Islands of Preservation / conservation alleviate the problem and safeguard portions of the biome and its biodiversity, but do not solve the problem. In this context and in view of collaborating to achieve the targets 11:12 Aichi as well as support of the NAP objectives for Conservation Herpetofauna Threatened the Northeastern Atlantic Forest, this study aims to: provide policy implementation possibilities public to be considered / used as ways to enable the creation of ecological corridors in the remaining areas of the Northern Atlantic, combined with a social and environmental perspective, opting for sustainable use cut; identify the main obstacles to the realization of Parks, discussing them with the legal literature under a philosophical perspective of ethics and morality, and Logus Ethos as principles of sustainable management ideal, being and Must-be legal; and demonstrate the importance of the MTSP as an emblem to guide practices - local regional sustainability locus emblem, constitutes one of the largest remnants of Atlantic RN Forest, which has in its management plan predicting contemplate area with ecological corridor . It constitutes a qualitative study, whose data approach, will be divided into two complementary steps. At first approach with conceptual document analysis and observation MTSP as an emblem situation. For the analysis of the data it was used argumentative analysis methodology. In the interpretation of the data it was used arguments constructed from environmental reasons, sustainable development, legal and environmental principles. For the analysis of strategies for the implementation of corridors the proposition idea was used, and the laws used as data and legal and environmental principles as collateral. Also as collateral, the exemplification of the corridors planned for the MTSP was adopted. As the first instrument to the second phase of this study, an interview script semi-directed will be used to be held by the manager to the Board and the management of the IDEMA area of competence, as well as the collection of data on the subject in which figure the MTSP by the Public prosecutor and the state Court.
