    MESSAGE FROM HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE AZORES In a dispersed territory like the Azores, particularly in the smaller settlements, it is essential to encourage sustainable development since it is the route to economic progress, social cohesion, quality of life, and the preservation of natural heritage. In good time, the Government of the Azores has set inhabitants of São Jorge the challenge of jointly drawing up an application to UNESCO for the Fajãs de São Jorge to be designated a biosphere reserve. Right from the start, this process has been a very inclusive one. Indeed, only by being so can it succeed as it is up to individuals, communities and institutions to choose the foundations for their own development. The public authorities are responsible for establishing the conditions required for this development by enhancing knowledge of our existing natural and cultural assets, improving the conservation of these assets and fostering landmark projects that may serve to catalyse the aims of the Man and Biosphere (MAB) programme. The Fajãs de São Jorge are an example of a balanced but not always peaceful relationship between human beings and nature. As such, they offer clear evidence of perseverance and tenacity and are unique repositories of ways of life, landscapes and biodiversity that must be conserved and enhanced. The biosphere-reserve designation will confer international renown on São Jorge, placing the island and its fajãs in a network comprising over 600 sites around the world. It will also add economic value to the products and services produced there by allowing them to display a UNESCO seal of quality.

  • Geodiversidade E Geossítios Da Ilha De São Jorge
    GEODIVERSIDADE E GEOSSÍTIOS DA ILHA DE SÃO JORGE EVA ALMEIDA LIMA, JOÃO CARLOS NUNES, SARA MEDEIROS & DIANA PONTE Departamento de Geociências, LAGE, Universidade dos Açores, Rua da Mãe de Deus, 13-A, Apartado 1422, 9501-801 PONTA DELGADA RESUMO As ilhas dos Açores, de natureza vulcânica, apresentam uma grande variedade de rochas, formas, estruturas e paisagens, que deriva em especial dos condicionalismos geotectónicos intrínsecos ao seu posicionamento, em pleno Atlântico Norte e na junção tripla das placas litosféricas Euroasiática, Norte Americana e Núbia. A paisagem açoriana é caracterizada por 27 sistemas vulcânicos, que incluem 16 grandes edifícios vulcânicos (e.g. vulcões poligenéticos, na sua maioria siliciosos e com caldeira) e 11 zonas de vulcanismo fissural basáltico. Estes sistemas vulcânicos integram um total de cerca de 1750 vulcões monogenéticos (designadamente cones de escórias/bagacina, domos, coulées, cones surtseianos, anéis de tufos e maars) dispersos quer pelos flancos e interior das depressões implantadas no topo dos vulcões poligenéticos, quer pelas cordilheiras vulcânicas e campos de cones de escórias que constituem aquelas zonas de vulcanismo fissural. A ilha de São Jorge apresenta-se como uma extensa cordilheira vulcânica de natureza basáltica s.l., com cerca de 54 km de extensão e orientação geral WNW-ESE, que se caracterizada, do ponto de vista morfo-vulcânico, por duas regiões distintas: 1) a Oeste, uma zona de relevo acidentado, de vulcanismo recente e com cones vulcânicos bem preservados, responsáveis pela emissão de inúmeras escoadas lávicas que originaram frequentemente fajãs lávicas na base das falésias costeiras; 2) a zona Leste, mais antiga, de morfologia mais suave, rede de drenagem mais evoluída e encaixada e frequentes fajãs detríticas na base das arribas, que retratam uma acção mais prolongada dos processos erosivos e de alteração dos materiais vulcânicos.
