The strengthening of an integrated and participatory management in mosaics of protected areas is the theme of the Sixth Seminar of the Brazil-France Cooperation, which began on Monday (September 6) in the city of Lille, France. The Brazilian Ministry of the Environment participates through the Secretariat for Biodiversity and Forests. The event ends tomorrow (September 9).
The cooperation deals with three issues: social mobilization for education and training of local actors; articulation for land management and integrated management of the coastal zone; and enhancement of local identity through products, resources, services, culture and tradition.
Ten Brazilian mosaics are served by the Brazil-France cooperation. Seven have resources from the National Fund of Environment (FNMA): Baixo Rio Negro, Baixo Sul da Bahia, Extremo Sul da Bahia, Grande Sertão Veredas-Peruaçu, Ibiapaba Sobral, Itabira e Médio Macaé. The other three have decentralized cooperation among states and French regions: Ilhas Marinhas do Litoral Norte de São Paulo, Juréia-Itatins e Lagamar.
France participates with three regions, which comprises 14 regional nature parks: Nord-Pas de Calais, Provence Alpes, Cote d'Azur and Rhône Alpes.
