Abstract

With growing environmental degradation, there was a large investment in protected areas, which resulted in the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC). Although this system aims to regulated conservation units, many of these have difficulty in protecting the environment, such as the biological reserve of São Donato, located between the towns of Itaqui and Maçambará - RS, in order to protect the São Donato wetland, given the expansion of agriculture and livestock. The objective of this research is to contribute to the study of landscape units of the biological reserve of São Donato, through the environmental cartography. For this, specific objectives were outlined: (1) elaborate thematic maps; (2) make a multitemporal analysis of land use, (3) propose a cartography of landscape units of biological reserves; (4) evaluate these landscape units, the degree of human interventions. Therefore, from the concept of landscape defined by Bertrand (1968) and the methodology proposed by Martinelli; Pedrotti (2001) for cartography of landscape units were identified ten scenic drives in the biological reserve of São Donato, and units with greater human interference are increasing, while the natural units are in dynamic retraction, due to the growth of farming in the surrounding conservation area, especially the cultivation of rice.
