January 31st, the day of Private Natural Heritage Reserves (RPPNs)
January 31st, the day of Private Natural Heritage Reserves (RPPNs), are committed to conserving biodiversity on their lands. This date aims to raise awareness in society about the crucial role of RPPNs in preserving the environment and combating climate change.
RPPNs are private conservation units recognized by the government, which aim to protect fauna, flora and natural ecosystems. In Brazil, there are thousands of RPPNs spread across several biomes, such as the Amazon, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest and Pantanal, contributing to the preservation of endangered species and natural resources.
The choice of January 31st to celebrate RPPNs is a way of honoring the owners who dedicate their efforts to environmental conservation and of reinforcing the need for public policies that encourage the creation and maintenance of these areas. In addition to protecting biodiversity, RPPNs play an essential role in environmental education, sustainable tourism and scientific research.
