RESUMO:

Conservation Units (UCs) are important tools for maintaining biodiversity worldwide. For this, it is necessary that these UCs comprehend territories representative of the country's biomes, as well as have a good management quality. One biome that requires attention regarding the study of its protected areas is the Caatinga biome. Basically, for three factors: brazilian exclusive, little known and having a small percentage of protected territory. Thus, a report is available on how to evaluate the effectiveness of the management of the Federal Units of the Septentrional Country Depression Ecoregion. To better understand the conservation effectiveness of UC, this biome needs to assess the quality of its management. One of the most widely used methods for this is Rapid Assessment and Priority Management of Protected Areas (RAPPAM). It has 16 modules for analysis: 1. Profile; 2. Pressures and Threats; 3. Biological Importance; 4. Socioeconomic Importance; 5. Vulnerability; 6. Goals; 7. Legal Support; 8. Area Design and Planning; 9. Human Resources; 10. Communication and Information; 11. Infrastructure; 12. Financial Resources; 13. Management Planning; 14. Decision Making Process; 15. Research, Evaluation and Monitoring; 16. Results, being used to evaluate the management effectiveness of modules 6 to 16. Management effectiveness was evaluated in five federal UCs of Caatinga of the Septentrional Country Depression Ecoregion (Aiuaba, Seridó and Castanhão ESEC, Sobral and Açu FLONA) . This analysis was performed based on 4 methodologies, each corresponding to an article that composes this one. As Castanhão ESEC currently has no management, this UC will apply a different methodology from the others. To explain the methodology related to the first article, RAPPAM was applied in four UCs (Seridó and Aiuaba ESEC, and Açu and Sobral FLONA) from April to August or current year. This first methodology considers only data from RAPPAM modules 6 to 16, which in turn make up the effectiveness analysis of the PA. For analysis of the elements of RAPPAM that have more weight in the General Effectiveness Index (IG), a PCA analysis was performed, considering three application cycles of RAPPAM, 2005, 2010 and 2019 (the first two results were presented by information available by the Ministry of Environment and the latter was used with the application of the method by the researcher). It can be observed that the indicators that had the most weight to explain the effectiveness of the UC were: Communication and Information (CI); Planning (PG); Financial Resources (RF); Decision Making Process (PTD); Research, Evaluation and Monitoring (MAP); Area Design and Planning (DP); and Results (RS). Note that currently as two ESEC have high effectiveness, while two FLONA have medium effectiveness. In general, note whether it is necessary to direct greater investments to the indicators that have the greatest weight on GI to improve the conservation effectiveness of the PA. To get the results from the second article, based on the last cycle RAPPAM application, or the year 2019, consider the data collected from RAPPAM module 2, which deals with UC pressures and threats, using these four as UC analyzed in the previous article. The pressures and threats module considers 16 activities with the following aspects: pressure trend, threat probability, scope, impact and permanence. Comprehensiveness, impact, and permanence generate a critical index that assesses the level of these pressures and threats in UC. It was possible to observe that the most critical activities among UC were grazing, hunting, presence of exotic species and waste disposal (pollution). Regarding the third article, the same data as the first one (RAPPAM results of the 2005, 2010 and 2019 cycles) is used in relation to modules 6 to 16. These data will be statistically analyzed using the SAS® University Edition program, performing a selected regression analysis. This analysis will generate a mathematical formula that considers the elements (modules) that have the most weight to explain the UC effectiveness IG of this region. This facilitates the application of the RAPPAM method, as it will not be necessary to apply the method in its application, as well as assisting in the application of the elements (modules) that most contribute to the conservation effectiveness of these protected areas. The fourth article on the management effectiveness analysis of ESEC Castanhão. However, as this UC is unmanaged, it will not be applied or the RAPPAM method in its entirety. Investigation will be conducted with a regional ICMBio, responsible for the UC, for pressures and threats. A semi-structured interview will be conducted to obtain historical data from the UC, as well as an understanding of the reasons that led to its management problems. This article will seek to propose ways to minimize the problems that exist in this protected area and that directly interfere with its effectiveness. Observing the four methodologies, it is possible to obtain an overview of the management effectiveness, directly related to the conservation capacity of the analyzed CU. From these results it is possible to trace ways that improve the management effectiveness of the Caatinga PAs of the Septentrional Country Depression Ecoregion.
