- Abstract
Objective: Identify the impacts of natural and anthropogenic phenomena in Campinarana areas in the municipality of São Paulo, aiming at local sustainability. Method: This study is a case study carried out in the interior of Amazonas. To characterize the scenario, we carried out a phytosociological study, using the vegetation profile of Raunkiaer life forms to collect floristic data on the vegetation of the studied municipality. To identify socio-environmental challenges, field research was carried out with public managers and residents of vulnerable areas, who responded to a semi-structured questionnaire. Results and conclusion: The "Fallen Lands" phenomenon triggers a domino effect in the Campinarana areas caused by human pressure promoted by urban expansion in the area with excessive exploitation of sand for civil construction, implementation of landfills, silting of streams, loss of biodiversity. We found a gap in knowledge about the Campinarana flora in the Alto Solimões region. Implications of the research: Anthropogenic interference in the ecology of Campinaranas is at high levels, we emphasize the need for investments in conservation to achieve local sustainability. Originality/value: The Campinarana area studied is in a state of vulnerability and threatened with extinction, having many endemic species, not yet identified, which could constitute an Amazonian hotspot.
