DIAGNOSIS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION OF AN AREA AT THE MARGINS OF CE-292 IN CRATO-CE

Abstract

Every human action on the environment results in an environmental impact, whether negative or positive. In the case of the construction of a highway, where part of the vegetation is removed and so many interferences (such as noise pollution) are inserted into the ecological environment there, it is necessary to evaluate the results of the degradation caused by human action. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate and present a diagnosis of environmental degradation of an area on the margins of the CE-292 in Crato - CE, due to anthropic interference. Then, from the knowledge of the impacts, it is feasible to adopt recovery or mitigation measures in the area. Initially, an attempt was made to visit the surroundings of the highway in question to identify the effects and further categorization, through the "check-list" methodology. According to the results, it was observed that the main environmental impacts diagnosed were deforestation, reduction of native flora on the banks, displacement of fauna and intensification of erosive processes and the presence of solid waste.
