ESPÍRITO SANTO Capixaba Eat © Lonely Planet Publications 220 Espírito Santo One of the best reasons to come to Espírito Santo is that so few other tourists will be join- ing you. Often completely ignored by foreigners due to its lack of high-profile attractions, the state nonetheless has several hidden treasures. It’s an enjoyable place to mingle with Brazilians without the hype and higher prices of neighboring Rio and Bahia states. In the north of the state is the idyllic little hideaway of Itaúnas, a tiny beach town literally buried in the sand dunes. Its attractions include the tranquil beauty of its natural setting and the frenzied nightlife that unfolds every summer when it converts itself overnight into the forró capital of Brazil. South along the coast, the beaches are more developed for family-style tourism, making them very popular with visitors from the neighboring state of Minas Gerais. Here you’ll find low-key beach resorts interspersed with fishing villages, plenty of good restaurants and the happy summertime buzz of Brazilian social life. Inland, Espírito Santo’s mountains form an exquisite patchwork of jungled greenery and domed rocky outcroppings, the most dramatic of which is Pedra Azul, a bare mountain crag preserved in a state park less than 100km west of Vitória. Even without all these scenic attractions, it would be worth visiting Espírito Santo just to ESPÍRITO SANTO eat. Seafood here is fresh and abundant, and local specialties such as moqueca and torta capixaba are famous throughout Brazil.

  • Conservation Versus Development at the Iguacu National Park, Brazil1
    CONSERVATION VERSUS DEVELOPMENT AT THE IGUACU NATIONAL PARK, BRAZIL1 Ramon Arigoni Ortiz a a Research Professor at BC3 – Basque Centre for Climate Change – Bilbao – Spain Alameda Urquijo, 4 Piso 4 – 48009 – [email protected] Abstract The Iguacu National Park is a conservation unit that protects the largest remnant area of the Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil. The Colono Road is 17.6 km long road crossing the Iguacu National Park that has been the motive of dispute between environmentalists, government bodies and NGOs defending the closure of the Colono Road; and organised civil institutions representing the population of the surrounding cities defending its opening. In October 2003, 300 people invaded the Park in an attempt to remove the vegetation and reopen the road, which was prevented by members of the Brazilian Army and Federal Police. Those who advocate the reopening of the Colono Road claim significant economic losses imposed on the surrounding cities. This paper investigates this claim and concludes that a possible reopening of the Colono Road cannot be justified from an economic perspective. Keywords: Iguacu Park; Brazil; Colono Road; economic development; environmental degradation; valuation; cost-benefit analysis 1 WWF-Brazil provided the financial support to this work, which I am grateful. However, WWF-Brazil is not responsible for the results and opinions in this study. I am also grateful to two anonymous referees for their constructive comments, corrections and suggestions.

Although dung beetles are important members of ecological communities and indicators of ecosystem quality, species diversity, and how it varies over space and habitat types, remains poorly understood in the Brazilian Cerrado. We compared dung beetle communities among plant formations in the Serra Azul State Park (SASP) in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Sampling (by baited pitfall and flight-interception traps) was carried out in 2012 in the Park in four habitat types: two different savanna formations (typical and open) and two forest formations (seasonally deciduous and gallery).

Neste estudo, os jornais, enquanto meios de comunicação mediada, foram considerados em sua importância e capacidade de influência nos processos de transformações sociais. Naquele momento histórico, a cidade de Vitória experimentava uma série de mudanças de ordem econômica e social. É nesse contexto do cotidiano da capital capixaba que os jornais, através dos temas abordados em notícias e artigos, funcionavam como uma espécie de instrumentos normatizadores, visando o controle de práticas, comportamentos e modos de vida considerados inadequados ao conjunto de costumes e valores morais vigentes naquela época na sociedade capixaba. E, para isso, eram também evocadas, nas páginas jornalísticas, campanhas de saneamento urbano (da cidade) e moral (de seus habitantes) Palavras-chave: história; imprensa; ordem social; Vitória-ES Abstract The main purpose of this work was to present the way the capixaba newspapers A Gazeta and A Tribuna used to report the facts, behavior and the daily ways of life in Vitória (ES) from 1945 to 1955.

During scientific expeditions carried out in 2016 to identify and collect germplasm in different states of Brazil, the Terra Ronca State Park (PETeR) stood out as a potential conservation area for this species. There, cratília is well adapted to the dry season, retaining green leaves even during extended dry periods and was found to develop a shrub or climbing habit, depending on light conditions.

    ACTA AMAZONICA http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1809-4392201700691 Generic additions to the Rapateaceae of Rondônia, Brazil Rodrigo Schütz RODRIGUES1* 1 Universidade Federal de Roraima, Centro de Estudos da Biodiversidade, Av. Ene Garcez 2413, 69304-000, Boa Vista, RR, Brazil. * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Rapateaceae is a monocot family centered in the Guiana Shield region of South America. This article reports four generic additions to the Rapateaceae of Rondônia, a state in northern Brazil. Cephalostemon gracilis (Poepp. & Endl.) R.H.Schomb., Duckea cyperaceoidea (Ducke) Maguire, Monotrema xyridoides Gleason, and Schoenocephalium cucullatum Maguire were recorded in lowland savannas and open white-sand ecosystems in the state. These findings extend significantly the known diversity of the Rapateaceae taxa occurring in Rondônia, and represent an extension of their geographical distribution to a Brazilian state with no part of its territory in the Guiana Shield. KEYWORDS: Amazonia, floristics, Guiana Shield, new record Novos registros genéricos de Rapateaceae para Rondônia, Brasil RESUMO Rapateaceae é uma família de monocotiledôneas centrada na região do Escudo das Guianas da América do Sul. Este artigo relata o registro de quatro gêneros de Rapateaceae para o estado de Rondônia, norte do Brasil. Cephalostemon gracilis (Poepp. & Endl.) R.H.Schomb., Duckea cyperaceoidea (Ducke) Maguire, Monotrema xyridoides Gleason e Schoenocephalium cucullatum Maguire são registrados em áreas de baixa altitude, ocorrendo em savanas e ecossistemas de campinas e campinaras no estado. Estas descobertas aumentam significativamente a diversidade conhecida de táxons de Rapateaceae para Rondônia, bem como representam uma extensão de sua distribuição geográfica para um estado que não tem nenhuma parte de seu território incluído no Escudo das Guianas.
