Abstract

This study aims to propose a revision of the nomenclature for several environmental zones of Nature Conservation Units in Brazil. The purpose is based on a comparative study of typologies of environmental zones that are suggested in methodological scripts of plans of Nature Conservation Units, published by IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources), in the first decade of 2000s, but still valid. Different nomenclatures for environmental zones with similar purposes were found, creating a terminological confusion that makes it difficult for stakeholders involved in participatory management to understand. In this article, a first version for a simplification of nomenclature is prepared, in order to make the process understandable to the set of stakeholders involved.
