                         degraded as consequence f intense land cover change that took 
                         place in the past few centuries.Most of its cover is now reduced 
                         to sparsely distributed forest fragments which implies in serious

                         by the restoration f the natural vegetation in areas between 
                         patches.The Brazilian Forest Protection Act (FPA)was created in 
                         1965 as a legal apparatus t protect natural vegetati n cover and 
                         to reduce the impact of deforestation in water availability and 
                         quality.However the proper bservati n of the criteria for land c
