This research project aims to study organic sugarcane cultivation areas of the Santo Antônio Sugar Mill in Sertãozinho, São Paulo, with emphasis on mapping and characterizing the current status of the vegetation within Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs, from the acronym in Portuguese), for the implementation of an agro-ecological project. The research project should promote an increment to the faunal biodiversity and production systems in such properties, helping the dispersion of seeds along the permanent preservation areas. The goal is to outline a management and monitoring plan for the effective implementation and conservation of plant cover in permanent preservation areas in order to allow them to fulfill their role of providing and maintaining animal and plant biodiversity.
