Abstract

This article aims to contextualize and discuss some challenges to implementation mosaics of protected areas, in the context of public policy, in the Brazilian case. The idea of mosaics has like a central policy the perspective “extramural” in the management of protected areas, as an alternative to biodiversity conservation in a regional scale territorial planning. For being recent in the public policy and associated with complex objectives, the mosaics implementation is still a challenge in the Brazilian public policy. Thus, this article seeks to contextualize the strategy of mosaics in Brazil, with the methodological basis bibliographic and documentary research. The analysis considers the difficult to internalization the idea of mosaic in the management of protected areas. So, the prospect of “extramural” action as interpreted in a limited way, forward the opportunities to optimizing the process of integrated management of biodiversity. This work shows also a scenario with a limited commitment of environmental agencies involved in the implementation of the mosaics. In this sense, the work points to the importance of developing normative instruments for this purpose, under the environmental agencies involved, to create guidelines and procedures to be adopted for the effective implementation of the mosaics.
