    Sustainable Water Governance in the Brazilian Pantanal Biome: Challenges and Lessons
    (Blue Papers) Bell, Emily; Puga, Bruno
    Problems caused by land-use change and climate change transcend territorial boundaries, but often management of natural heritage sites can only influence what happens within the local area. Therefore, we need innovative conservation strategies that also transcend territorial boundaries. Hence, the approach to managing our natural heritage sites may need innovative strategies to ensure their effective conservation. This study examines the conservation approach in the Pantanal biome, which houses multiple centers of decision-making across Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Despite the region’s significant contribution in providing ecosystem services and playing an integral part in local cultural heritage and Native communities, Pantanal has suffered from a lack of clear rules and strategies, challenges in implementation, and, largely, capacity and coordination across different governance scales. This contribution synthesizes key challenges and potential opportunities through co-production and information sharing to ensure a socio-ecological approach to promoting the conservation and resilience of the Pantanal biome.

    Territorial Planning and Sustainable Development: A Case Study from the APA São Francisco Xavier-SP
    (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação) Henrique, Raquel; Toniolo, Maria Angélica
    This article is a case study from the APA São Francisco Xavi- er, located in the municipality of São José dos Campos-SP, and aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this UC category as an instrument of ter- ritorial planning to fulfill its role of reconciling conservation and socio- economic development, based on the sustainable use of natural resourc- es. This study applied multi-methods - both qualitative and quantitative approaches - using fieldwork, participant observation, questionnaires, and geoprocessing to collect and analyze both primary and secondary data. The results demonstrate that APA promotes conservation, but is not free from threats and does not have effective and permanent means to guarantee the promotion of socio-economic development based on the sustainable use of its natural resources. The study suggests that ter- ritorial planning should be articulated between the levels of govern- ment, its different agencies, and the local community.
