The Brazilian state of Paraná has undergone extensive forest degradation, with great consequences to the semideciduous seasonal forest. Degradation caused forest fragmentation that jeopardized biodiversity and environmental equilibrium. Current paper shows methodology and results of the first stages in a protocol to assess native forest remnants in the rural area of the municipality of Maringá PR Brazil. The protocol is a tool for public policies in environmental conservation, classifying forest remnants at levels of importance for environmental conservation. All forest fragments were quantified and qualified by remote sensing, index calculation, environment metrics and evaluation of physical and biological attributes. A rural area with 9.81 forest cover, formed by 161 fragments, most of which less than 50 ha and low connectivity was analyzed.Downloads
