Abstract
Abstract The Brazilian Network of Long-distance Trails is inspired by the North American and European national trail systems. The officially recognized programme acts as a recreational resource but also as a conservation tool, the trails serving as landscape connectors, linking otherwise isolated areas that are protected or of conservation importance. Each national trail is composed of a succession of regional trails, in which the endpoint of one aligns with the trailhead of the next. Over the next 20 years, Brazil intends to implement five national trails, divided into some 30 different regional long-distance trails, making up around 30,000 km of hiking trails in a network of landscape connectors that will be used for recreation, provide ecological services, such as wildlife corridors, as well as creating jobs.
