Abstract
The 2030 Agenda is a global action plan presented by the United Nations (UN) that establishes Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs. Conservation Units (UC) are an important element of the strategy towards nature conservation. Starting from a local approach to critically analyze these issues of global relevance, the focus of the investigation is the Dona Benta e Seu Caboclo Natural Heritage, a private conservation unit located in the municipality of Pirambu in the state of Sergipe and the community surrounding the Lagoa Redonda settlement. The study aimed to analyze the perception of the owner and the community regarding the environment, RPPN, and SDGs in order to build a critical approach to the issues that interconnect nature conservation and sustainable development. The methodology is based on the interview with the owner and a focus group with the community, carried out between January and March 2020. Following these interviews, it was ascertained that there is a divergence in how public and private lands are understood by locals: Private lands are exclusively associated with production, whilst public land is associated with conservation. Community representatives do not recognize RPPN as a conservation area, with those associated objectives. Yet, debates on the environment and sustainable development intertwined with nature conservation are recognized by everyone as a priority. In the end, it is possible to recognize the importance of strengthening a space for coexistence between the local population and the RPPN in order to implement common and transformative actions in favor of conservation, and sustainable development.
Highlights
In 2015 the United Nations (UN) presented the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global action plan that proposes to support governments in designing public policies for development; combining economic, social and environmental concerns
Starting from a local approach to critically analyze a topic of global relevance was a challenging proposal, albeit one that allowed a critical approach towards the issues that interconnect nature conservation and local, sustainable development
Reconciling the protection of natural resources associated with practices that enable sustainable development to be achieved, prosperity and appreciation of people are increasingly required and demanded by local society
Summary
In 2015 the United Nations (UN) presented the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global action plan that proposes to support governments in designing public policies for development; combining economic, social and environmental concerns. Since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, it is possible to recognize efforts by environmental governance in order to bring the local realities closer to the goals proposed by the SDGs that guide actions for the integrated and sustainable management of natural resources and ecosystem. These efforts to go through the local realities of the Conservation Units. Recognizing the importance of reflection on how these themes interact with each other, this article integrates broader research developed in the Health and Environment Program (PSA) of the University Tiradentes (UNIT) entitled "Sustainable Development Goals (ODS) and Private Reserves of Heritage Natural (RPPN) in Brazil, proposing beginning from a local approach of the Private Reserve of Natural Heritage (RPPN) Dona Benta and Seu Caboclo, and the surrounding community in Povoado Lagoa Redonda, in order to critically analyze this is a global reality
