These municipal reserves provide a legal framework to establish areas dedicated to conservation, as well as the responsibility of the municipalities to protect nature in these areas. Unfortunately, the sad reality is local farmers continue to destroy primary forests for wood harvesting and pasture planting for cattle production. Moreover, another important threat is the construction of new roads which facilitates easy access and intervention of people to previously inaccessible sites. As current farming methods are non-sustainable, habitat loss and land degradation remain a serious threat to the preservation of these areas. The extent of occurrence (EOO) calculated for
