SINAL has a trail network in the APA (Area de Preservação Ambiental) of Petropolis, a federally designated environmental area, which gives SINAL a special status in terms of conservation. Moreover, we are situated in one of the valleys of the municipality of Duque de Caxias, the third most populous city in the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro, making our location essential for preventing destruction of the Mata Atlântica by the growing urban encroachment.
SINAL has an extensive nature trail network, providing an opportunity to educate and engage the local underserved communities in the process of conservation of the Mata Atlântica, one of the most threatened ecosystems of Brazil. Our trails highlight the native tree and animal species that we all must work to preserve.
With the Botanical Gardens of Rio de Janeiro SINAL has identified endengerous species that we must preserve.
