Spanning over 1,500 square kilometers, the park lies within the transition zone of the Amazon and Caatinga biomes and supports rich biodiversity, including fish, amphibians and migratory birds that take refuge in its lagoons during the rainy season. Despite its arid appearance, Lençóis Maranhenses is shaped by complex hydrological and ecological processes, with its lagoons replenished by rainfall and sustained by an underlying water table. This digital representation of Lençóis Maranhenses aims to showcase the park’s stunning natural beauty while raising awareness of the ecological sensitivity of this environment. As climate change threatens rainfall patterns and unregulated tourism poses risks to the landscape, public engagement becomes essential for its conservation. This contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 15: Life on Land, promoting the sustainable management of terrestrial ecosystems and supporting local conservation efforts by promoting appreciation and responsible tourism in this rare and fragile habitat. rsdo1@st-andrews.ac.uk Site 1411 26/03/2025 03/26/2025 05:16:01 pm https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1611 cm x cm x cm current,-2.533333,-43.116669; Place Name 3764 rsdo1@st-andrews.ac.uk Lençóis Maranhenses National Park TEXT
