SUMMARY:

The general objective of this study was to elaborate the environmental diagnosis of a rural community in areas of occurrence of the Lear's Macaw in the locality called Malhador da Jurema, inserted in the hydrographic basin of the river Itapicuru, municipality of Canudos, in the semi-arid region of Bahia from the perspective of mitigation by land use and occupation (cultivation of crops, animal husbandry, plant extraction activities and other forms of production). The methodology was carried out through field campaigns for the application of Community Environmental Management Workshops; sampling of surface and underground water; of soil; vegetation; and conducting interviews with rural landowners in the communities. The area to be restored was mapped and georeferenced using images captured by drone. The environmental diagnosis identified that the forms of use related to human activities developed on typically family-owned rural properties, combined with semi-arid climatic conditions, contributed to enhance the processes of gradual loss of ecosystem services. Since the removal of the native vegetation cover, followed by the processes of land use and occupation, associated with local environmental, socioeconomic, cultural and historical conditions, potentiated the carrying away of the surface layers of the soil, silting up of water bodies, loss of the productive capacity of the soil and disappearance of local flora and fauna species. Allied to these factors, there is a reduction in water availability, contamination of surface water and soil salinization and, finally, a reduction in the quality of life of local populations. It is concluded, given this scenario, that there is a demand for the construction of sustainable actions that take into account all these weaknesses, pointed out by the environmental diagnosis, so that a new reality is built guiding a restoration model that is not only ecological, but an ecological restoration and socio-environmental that contributes to a sustainable territorial organization. Where human factors can be the foundation for the success of landscape restoration processes in caatinga phytogeographic domain environments, which suffers most intensely from the effects of climate change and human activities.
