Vol. 4 No. 1 (2014): Social Participation in the Public Management of Sociobiodiversity
#AudioDescription: The cover of this issue of the scientific journal BioBrasil – Brazilian Biodiversity celebrates the integration between traditional knowledge, community participation and environmental conservation, highlighting the role of society in the management of natural resources. The visual composition is marked by a palette of earthy and soft greens, referring to nature and Brazilian biomes, with photographic collages arranged in symmetrical blocks. Next, an image shows a participatory meeting with a large presence of residents. Below, two images show field activities: people planting seedlings in a cerrado environment and young people in an environmental education action, holding and observing a small seedling. In the lower left corner, a children's drawing depicts the Cerrado biome, with sparse trees under a blue sky, the sun shining and wild animals, providing the children's view of the natural environment. Next to it, a group of young people display posters made with illustrations of trees, leaves and elements of local biodiversity, representing environmental education and social engagement actions. At the top, two hand-drawn colored illustrations show participatory zoning schemes for land use, with areas designated for preservation, community use, and population use, reflecting different intensities of occupation and management. The figures feature visual elements such as houses, animals, trees, and people, giving the content an educational and inclusive character. At the top of the cover is the logo of the BioBrasil magazine, followed by the subtitle “Biodiversidade Brasileira – Revista Científica”. The logo of ICMBio – Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation) with the logo of the MMA – Ministério do Meio Ambiente (Ministry of the Environment) appears in the lower left corner. At the bottom of the page, the title of the issue is: “Thematic Issue: Social Participation in the Public Management of Sociobiodiversity, Year 4 – Number 1 – 2014”.
