Fortalezas e fragilidades do Sistema de Unidades de Conservação Potiguar
Rio Grande do Norte is one of the states that have not yet been awarded a rating of Rapid Assessment and Prioritization of Protected Area Management (RAPPAM). Thus, this study aims at applying the RAPPAM to identify weaknesses and strengths in the implementation of the System of Potiguar Conservation Units. Overall evaluated Conservation Units (UCs) obtained an average score of 49% for Management Effectiveness, showing no difference in the degree of implementation among the UCs Full Protection and Sustainable Use, as well as among the UCs on State and Federal management. Weaknesses of the System of Potiguar Conservation Units reflected mainly in the lack of investment in human, financial and research resources, as well as in the lack of application of the sustainability principles in the use of resources, and in little social and political commitment to maintain a system of protected areas connected. However it finds potential when it counts on an operational plan that covers social, economic and environmental values, which is optimized with the implementation of a good physical infrastructure of UC, as well as the ease of communication between the different actors involved in the management and the community participation represented by Council managers.
