Geodiversity is important for sustainability and environmental conservation, and one of the concepts that its recognition is based upon is of sites of geological interest. Knowing these sites, it becomes possible to propose measures that seek to preserve or present them to the general public. And, among several methods, there is promotion of geodiversity through in loco interpretive signage, considered to be practical and of low cost. Thus, this project aims to evaluate the current situation of the promotion of sites of geological interest in the hydrographic basins of Santo Antônio River and Guaxinduba river and elaborate, with laypeople as the target audience, proposals of interpretive panels for some of those sites. The project will be developed in five stages: 1st step - conceptual bibliographic survey and search for inventories of sites of geological interest inventories; 2nd - characterization and selection of sites of interest in the studied area; 3rd step - field survey to diagnose sites of interest; 4th step - elaboration of panels; and 5th step - elaboration of final report. This region was selected due to its high potential for promotion, the vastness of related literature available and the positive impacts associated with knowing local geodiversity, given that the regional natural environment suffers with anthropic pressure.

Geodiversity ni muhimu kwa ajili ya uendelevu na uhifadhi wa mazingira, na moja ya dhana kwamba utambuzi wake ni msingi ni ya maeneo ya maslahi ya kijiolojia. Kwa kujua maeneo hayo, inawezekana kupendekeza hatua zinazojaribu kuyahifadhi au kuyaonyesha kwa umma kwa ujumla. Na, kati ya mbinu kadhaa, kuna kukuza geodiversity kupitia in loco tafsiri ishara, kuchukuliwa kuwa vitendo na ya gharama nafuu. Kwa hivyo, mradi huu unakusudia kutathmini hali ya sasa ya kukuza maeneo ya maslahi ya kijiolojia katika mabwawa ya maji ya Mto Santo Antônio na Mto Guaxinduba na kuunda, na watu wa kawaida kama watazamaji wa lengo, mapendekezo ya paneli za ufafanuzi kwa baadhi ya maeneo hayo. Mradi huo utafanyika katika hatua tano: hatua ya kwanza - utafiti wa bibliographic ya dhana na kutafuta orodha ya maeneo ya maslahi ya kijiolojia; hatua ya pili - sifa na uteuzi wa maeneo ya maslahi katika eneo la utafiti; hatua ya tatu - utafiti wa uwanja wa kugundua maeneo ya maslahi; hatua ya nne - utengenezaji wa paneli; na hatua ya tano - utengenezaji wa ripoti ya mwisho. Eneo hili lilichaguliwa kwa sababu ya uwezo wake mkubwa wa kukuza, wingi wa fasihi inayohusiana na athari nzuri zinazohusiana na kujua geodiversity ya ndani, ikizingatiwa kwamba mazingira ya asili ya mkoa yanaathiriwa na shinikizo la binadamu.
