Abstract

The Environmental Protection Area of Baleia Franca (APABF) encompasses a series of sites of natural and cultural heritage value, linked to its geodiversity and recognized by the community. However, due to issues stemming from territorial occupation, these sites demand heightened conservation efforts beyond what is stipulated in the APABF legislation. Consequently, there is an urgent need to raise awareness for geoconservation by creating cartographic products aimed at expanding the appreciation for the geodiversity and landscape of the region. The aim of this study is to propose cartographic tools derived from geodesign, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the landscape and geoheritage within the APABF territory. In pursuit of this objective, sites of Heritage Interest were identified in conjunction with the development of these instruments. As a result, online and printable cartographic products were created and developed for use in interpretation and geotourism. It is concluded that these products fulfill the overall goal of the study, which is to disseminate and raise awareness among the community and other professionals interested in the APA for geoconservation. Finally, it is hoped that this methodology of online map dissemination and interpretative approach will be replicated in the future with other conservation units and territories seeking to enhance their geoheritage.
