Área de Proteção Ambiental da Lagoa Encantada e Rio Almada
The Lagoa Encantada e Rio Almada Environmental Protection Area covers lands to the north and south of the Almada River in Bahia.[1] It has an area of 157,745 hectares (389,800 acres), and protects part of the Almada River basin. It covers the northern coast of the municipality of Ilhéus, and parts of the municipalities of Uruçuca, Itajuípe, Coaraci and Almadina on the south coast of Bahia.[2]
The reserve is named for a beautiful lagoon, the Lagoa Encantada, that is formed by the Pipite and Caldeiras rivers. It has areas of Atlantic Forest, with waterfalls, springs and caves, and a has restingas and mangroves on the Atlantic coast. The APA is threatened by water pollution from sewage and garbage, since most of the communities have no sanitation. There are irregular settlements of squatters in the coastal area. Other threats include irregular fishing, deforestation, fires, hunting and the illegal trade in wild animals.[2]
