Country/Territory Brazil Document type Regulation Date 1996 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Wild species & ecosystems Keyword Protected area Endangered species Protection of species Geographical area Amazonia, Americas, Latin America and the Caribbean, North Atlantic, South America, South Atlantic Entry into force notes This Resolution enters into force on the date of publication. Abstract This Resolution, consisting of 5 articles, establishes that forests growing between the primordial forests must be considered the same protected areas in order to preserve endangered flora and fauna. It defines that a corridor between forest remains is characterized as the strip of vegetation cover that exists between forest remains of primary vegetation in a medium or advanced stage of regeneration that is able to form a habitat or as a transit area for fauna living in the remains. Corridors between forest remains are composed by: a) neighbouring forests in all of their extension and legally defined river margin strips; b) existing strips of vegetation cover that allow for the interconnection of remains, in particular in relation to conservation units and permanent preservation areas.
