A biodiversidade nas áreas verdes de Dourados – MS

Abstract

It is undeniable that the environment is interconnected with the development of cities, which in an unrestrained way, has resulted in the loss of natural resources and removed the species that originally lived in this territory, this work aimed to compile data present in a survey of bird species in trees in four green spaces of Dourados, in Mato Grosso do Sul, Parque Antenor Martins, Parque Arnulpho Fioravante, Unidade de Conservação Parque Natural Municipal do Paragem e Parque Ambiental Victélio Pelegrin, in an attempt to explore the roles of these spaces in conservation of urban biodiversity. Species lists were prepared based on field records with experts, tools and appropriate literature. The research found 71 species of birds, most of which are insectivorous and resilient to open or forested environments, and 127 records of trees, with pioneers, natives and those found in the Mata Atlântica biome prevailing. It is undeniable that green spaces are fundamental to the existence of urban biodiversity and bring comfort to surrounding residents. Their preservation must be strengthened and seen as a form of municipal investment.
