The Protected Landscape Approach: Linking Nature, Culture and Community Brazil’s coastal zone is traditionally an occupied area, with various and often contradictory typical uses, ranging from strict preservation to high-technology activities. Particularly needed in a region such as the Brazilian coastal zone are tools allowing landscapes and seascapes to be worked in a healthy and sustainable fashion, rather than those that rely on the land to be totally empty of people. Issues such as industrial-scale mariculture, overexploitation of fisheries, the impact of tourism on local cultures, loss of self-esteem by traditional peoples when forced to leave their lands – all demand treatment by a coordinated management system that allows all sectors to be heard and respected. There is still insufficient protected area coverage in the coastal zone and marine biome of Brazil; this is especially true for marine protected areas. Following the creation of a protected area, zoning is not enough to ensure its implementation; there must also be in place a management system, including a management committee and plan. These should rely on participatory and inclusive approaches to management. While financial support is still a problem, it is not the only reason that protected areas are not successful. There must be more emphasis on exemplifying through actions that will demonstrate the potential of protected areas and their ability to link elements in the landscape and seascape, both products and processes. Innovative legal tools are now available in Brazil, such as easements, shared management with NGOs, 6 and other possibilities currently available through the Brazilian System for Protected Areas, including financial sponsorship and creating partnerships. These innovative tools give real encouragement to conservation in a way that supports making linkages within the landscape, and between the landscape and people. They require a new approach: learning by doing. The current challenge is to work with different protected area designations and tools, such as the two discussed in this chapter, and to link them through a land/seascape approach in a way that takes advantage of their strengths, linking people and nature for conservation. Brazil has great potential to demonstrate an alternative for development that supports quality of life. Coastal and marine protected areas are important elements that can contribute to this kind of sustainable development through eco-tourism, cultural and historical heritage, local handicrafts, fishing and aquaculture. The ideal approach is one in which these activities are conducted with a view toward maintaining a healthy and sustainable use of land and its resources. Protected areas contribute to this goal by conserving and managing cultural and natural heritage – in other words, our landscapes and seascapes. 6 Social Organization for Public Interest (OSCIP) Fed.Law 9790/99. 176
Colour plates The terraced landscape of Cinque Terre (Italy) has been created and maintained over centuries. Marketing of value-added landscape products, such as olives, juice and wine, under a Cinque Terre label featuring the World Heritage logo is helping to support centuries-old land use traditions. UNESCO The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras are the work of the Ifugao culture, and are believed to be 2,000 years old. This continuing cultural landscape, which was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1995, illustrates the challenges of balancing tradition and progress, and the importance of keeping local communities engaged in sustaining their landscapes.
