SUMMARY:

In cities, what little remains of the remaining Atlantic Forest vegetation survives in conservation units, green areas, urban parks and/or small forest fragments that guarantee the conservation of biodiversity, the shelter of endemic species threatened with extinction, the interactions, functions and ecological processes, in addition to providing ecosystem services for the well-being of society. Data from the Atlantic Forest Atlas (SOS Mata Atlântica & INPE, 2022) reveal a dramatic situation: of the total 69,328 ha of the total area of the municipality of Salvador (BA), only 3,363 ha have remnants of Atlantic Forest, which corresponds to only 9.75% of its territory. Among the 16 Brazilian capitals that are under the control of this biome, Salvador occupies 14th place. Therefore, the present work consists of characterizing the importance of conserving green areas and creating protected areas in urban areas, evaluating the percentage of Atlantic Forest Remnants under the protection of Integral Protection Conservation Units (UCs) in Brazilian capitals under the domain of the biome and develop a practical application in the form of an interactive map to promote ecological and cultural tourism in the city of Salvador (BA). The study seeks to strengthen awareness about the maintenance of green areas in urban areas and provide subsidies for the formulation and improvement of municipal public policies and other conservation strategies for the remaining Atlantic forest.
