Contents [hide] 1 Location 2 History 3 Environment 4 Notes 5 Sources Location[edit] The Rio da Casca Ecological Station (ESEC) is divided between the municipalities of Chapada dos Guimarães (76.61%), Cuiabá (10.84%) and Campo Verde (12.52%) in the state of Mato Grosso.[1]
The ESEC has two parts, one with an area of 3,329 hectares (8,230 acres) and the other with an area of 205 hectares (510 acres).[2] The total area is 3,534 hectares (8,730 acres).[1] It lies to the east of the MT-450 state highway and is south of the BR-251 federal highway.[3] History[edit] The Rio da Casca Ecological Station was created by state governor decree 6.437 of 27 May 1994.
The consultative council was created on 15 December 2014.[4] Environment[edit] The ESEC is just over 87% savannah, and about 13% contact between savannah and seasonal forest. It overlaps about 7% with the Chapada dos Guimarães Environmental Protection Area.[5] The ESEC was about 65% deforested at time of creation, and since then has lost a further 4% of forest coverage.[6] The Casca River, a tributary of the Roncador River, runs through the ESEC from south to north.[3] Notes[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b
