This bachelor paper covers the challenges and problems present in the Atlantic forest mainly focusing on deforestation and unsustainable land uses that take the forest’s place such as monocultures or mines. Aside from the origins of the loss of forest, the consequences for the climate and humanity get discussed as well as topics like hydrology, soil management and plant protection measures when attempting reforestation. In the end, speculation about possible strategies to handle the problematics mentioned are given. These include the way humans mass-consume and uphold the demand for forestry products such as timber; and how tropical reforestation should be handled in order to increase success rates. The main plague (the leafcutter ant) to hinder reforestation attempts also gets covered to shed a light on their devastating effects. The research conducted concerning this subject includes various methods to control their populations and protect fields and plantations. All existing options get covered, but the use of ecological methods is emphasized and holds much potential. Many of the problems witnessed are connected in one way or another and dealt with using both international as local knowledge about the matter. By addressing the consequences and weighing them against what is gained out of the new land uses, this paper hopes to bring change in the way forests are viewed upon and treated. As humans are the initial cause of the whole problem, only a change of global magnitude can stop these practices. Sensitizing people worldwide at any age can create ecologically conscious movements.

In the Atlantic rainforest, extended along the Brazilian coast form Rio Grande DoSol to Rio Grande Do Norte, there is a huge problem with fragmentation of theforest.People cut trees illegal, under unsustainable conditions. This leads to deforestationworldwide. Some organizations like Iracambi stand up against this and start reforestthe pieces that they can buy. Iracambi is located in the buffer zone of the Serra doBrigadeiro State Park, a conservation area administrated by the State ForestryInstitute and supported by a consultative council, in the mountains of southeasternBrazil. Iracambi engages in managing natural resources, developing sustainablecommunities and researching ecosystems in order to save the forest.To know which trees occurs and grows in the area of Iracambi, inventories startedof many regions like trails and plots. Inventories are collected and listed up here.Furthermore the evolution of a trail in the area is followed up.
