Since the 90¡äs, a great demographic boom has occurred in the region due to oil and gas exploitation in Campos Basin, and also to the installations of onshore support facilities for off shore petroleum production in Maca¨¦. Disordered and unplanned human occupation together with unsustainable natural resources appropriation may lead to the exhaustion of native natural ecosystems.
