In contrast to the Andes, which rose to elevations of nearly 7,000
metres (22,966 ft) in a relatively recent epoch and inverted
the Amazon's direction of flow from westward to eastward,
Brazil's geological formation is very old.
Precambrian crystalline shields cover 36% of the territory,
especially its central area. The principal mountain ranges
average elevations just under 2,000 metres (6,562 ft).
The Serra do Mar Range, 150.000.000 years old hugs the Atlantic
coast, and the Serra do Espinhaço Range, the largest in area,
extends through the south-central part of the country.
The highest point in Rio de Janeiro, Pico das Agulhas Negras (2.787
metros)
A Pedra da Mina is the fourth highest brazilian mountain is located
in the Serra da Mantiqueira (22 ° 25 'S, 44 ° 51' W) 2798.39m
altitude
The highest brazilian mountains are in the Tumucumaque,
Pacaraima and Imeri ranges, among others, which traverse
the northern border with the Guianas and Venezuela. The
highest point in Brazil is Pico da Neblina at 2,994 m
(9,823 ft).

"mountains that cry", exemplifying its large

lives, using water and other benefits
from these mountain systems .
It is along the Brazilian East Coastal Range
where are located most of our cities and
the metropolis Florianópolis, Curitiba,
São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Vitória,

Itere i, near São Paulo , in the core area of the Atlantic Rainforest
World Heritage- Mab - Unesco is officially under private
protection, since 1978. Iterei is an all season Park comprising
193,6 hectares, along the highest slope of "Serra do Mar", 750
meters. In Iterei borns a network of more than 50 permanent
sparkling mountain streams . Trails through the spectacular
remnant hillside rainforest cross a wide diversity of 20-30m high
trees belonging to
Schyzolobium, Vochysia, Ocotea and Nectrandra genera, which sponsors wonderful
green scenery. These huge trees are glamorized by epiphytes chiefly pteriodofts or
colorful bromeliads and orchids. Iterei is natural habitat formammals at least (89
species), reptiles &amphibians (over 125 species), insects and aracnideos (too
many to count!), birds(over 275 species) including 18 endangered species! Iterei
offers mountain environmental services for the populations of Sao Paulo and
downhill.

Salve-se quem puder! ... Each one for itself
... Salve-se quem puder!
“Habitat fragmentation is the process
by which habitat loss results in the
division of large, continuous habitats
into smaller, more isolated remnants
A dominant effect of increasing
habitat loss is a reduction in patch
area, with resulting declines in
population density and species
richness, and significant alterations to
community composition, species
interactions and ecosystem
functioning.” Raphael K Didham, The

A year after the floods that have killed over 900 people
in the mountain region of Rio de Janeiro, only eight
works to solve the problem of more than 170 areas
identified as high risk of landslides began. Nothing has
been done to date, reports the 3rd Inspection Report

Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy of Rio

27. Risk Management Areas in
Brazilian Moist Tropical Highlands
The Crea-RJ tecnichians survey found that the process of
disordered occupation of the soil persists, mainly for
agricultural activities, deforestation of permanent
preservation areas, and the reoccupation of areas at risk, with
the construction of houses on these sites.
Among the immediate guidance, the report proposes the
creation and implementation of a plan for removal of the
population over time with priority for high-risk areas,
implement small and medium dams filled, interventions on
the slopes, make effective sanitary sewer and trash drainage
basin, among other recommendations.

It urges the incorporation to the concept of sustainability,
the concept of survival considering that in one year
the average number of victims was more than
quadrupled since 1980 (66.000 deaths) and costed
about $ 130 billion. 950 natural disasters were
recorded in 2010, a figure well above the average of
615 over the last 30 years. In Brazil, relapse enhanced,
the tragedies of the highlands, by 2011; Over the next
60 years, the storms in the city of São Paulo and in Rio
de Janeiro, in the coastal towns and along the Atlantic
Mountain Range - Serra do Mar - will triple, as,
scientific study conducted by INPE (National Institute
for Space Research) in partnership with the MIT
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and IAE
(Institute of Aeronautics and Space). The forecast is
based on increasing the temperature Atlantic Ocean

In São Paulo Metropolitan Green Belt lies the Cassador Basin
located in the core area, of the Atlantic Rainforest
World Heritage- Mab – Unesco, it hides the Iterei
Fauna and Flora Reserve, officially under private
protection, since 1978 (P-163/78IBDF) and an official
member of Planet Society- Unesco (Project BRA022)
Around there it is planned the duplication of the hiway
dividing these important area.
"It must be made clear," they say in a flyer, "that there is no
opposition to the construction of the highway" itself,
calling it "a very important project linked to the
economic well-being of millions of Latin Americans."
But, they add, "the rainforest must not be destroyed" by the
roadbuilders. "The authorities must change the design
of the proposed duplication" of the roadway, they say,
"in order to avoid destruction of a priceless ecosystem.
A well designed project will cause no harm to the
environment; on the contrary, the unique nature of this
beautiful landscape will be enhanced."
They add that there are many examples, the world over, of
environmentally insensitive building projects that have
been reversed because of pressure brought by
environmentalists and the general public.

... Decision makers shall analyse all alternatives , weighting the true
public interest, through the prism of medium and long term,
regardless of the immediate costs, the forecast is to opt for greater
safety of the population, to the less disastrous alternative, to the
adoption of the best scientific and technological knowledge, with
the purpose of ensuring to all the multiple functions of natural
resources;

43. ITEREI Proposals
 PES incentives for preservation for all natural mountain areas directly to the owner : State, Comuny or
Private
 Alert with dependence and addiction with compensation mechanisms
 Support Sustainability based upon ecotourism, research, art, artcrafts, no polluent industries, agroecology
and traditional mountain knowledge
 Increase dialogue between government sectors, and government levels
 Support a Stronger Civil Society
 Increase inter-institutional dialogue
 Further institutionalization of participation instruments
 Raise awareness of mountain issues on political agendas
 Consolidate or create specific mountain initiatives where appropriate
 Improve sustainable mobility and sustainable technology for infrastructure
 Improve knowledge and information systems
 Improve data on natural mountain disaster
 Increase availability of academic and traditional knowledge for specific SMD purposes and decision makin
 Coordinate research priorities for implementing SMD
 Consolidate or create specific national or regional mountain initiatives
 Research and monitoring of climate change adaptation mechanisms, especially with regard to water
availability
