- Abstract
The Una basin is an area that covers about 20 neighborhoods in the city of Belém. The area underwent a macrodrainage process, established with the intention of providing greater sanitation for some neighborhoods of Belém, located in lowland areas and very conducive to floods. However, even if the macrodrainage of this area is considered an advance for adequate infrastructure in the region's access road and for the population living in these neighborhoods, the likely negative effects of this activity are diverse, such as the fragmentation of urban vegetation. The site of the studies assumes a significant conservation area, comprising a segment of primary vegetation of Belém, having an area of 35 hectares. Although floodplains do not have a higher species representation compared to terra firme forests, they have a characteristic fauna. Study of the characterization of the existing vegetation typology in the floodplain area allows a better knowledge about the conservation status of the site and potentialities for its management. Recovery actions should be as fast and effective as possible. Thus allowing the creation of efficient plans for the protection of the area.
