The Mouth of the Aguapeí Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN) is divided between the municipalities of Castilho, São João do Pau d'Alho and Pauliceia in the state of São Paulo. It has an area of 8,885.33 hectares (21,956.1 acres).[1] It is located at the mouth of the Aguapeí River on the Paraná River, and the Ilha Comprida. It forms a continuous protected area with the Aguapeí State Park, which is part of the environmental compensation for the Eng Sérgio Motta Dam.[2]
The reserve protects one of the last naturally flooded areas of the state, home to marsh deer and other species typical of this environment. It should reduce sand and clay mining, and strengthen enforcement against hunting the deer for sale of antlers or stuffed heads.[2] The reserve supports environmental education and research.[1]
The "Pantanal Paulista Wildlife Refuge", as it was called in earlier discussions, would be part of the proposed Trinational Biodiversity Corridor, which aims to provide forest connections between conservation units in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina in the Upper Paraná ecoregion.[3]
Historyedit
On 16 April 2003 the State Council for the Environment of São Paulo (Consema) approved the environmental compensation agreement for the Três Irmãos Hydroelectric Plant of the Companhia Energética de São Paulo (CESP). The mouth of the Aguapeí River was to be made a 15,960 hectares (39,400 acres) wildlife refuge.[2] The RPPN was created by resolution 117 of 19 December 2010.[1] As of 2016 CESP listed the RPPN Foz do Aguapeí as having an area of 13,953.79 hectares (34,480.6 acres).[4] In fact the RPPN proper has an area of 8,885.33 hectares (21,956.1 acres), covering 63.67% of the CESP property.[1] CESP was required to provide a total of 12,820 hectares (31,700 acres) including the buffer zone of the reserve.[5]
