Researchers, environmental bodies and Brazilian fleet, resulted in the extraction of all goats of Santa Barbara, Ibrolhos in the archipelago in the southern southern archipelago. According to experts, the island was to restore the environmental balance sheet, because local animals for the site damaged the plant and soil.
The presence of goats on the island for more than 200 years. It is believed to have put them there in the colonial time to serve navigators in future expeditions. Since then, the animals are alive, and the extremely enemy, who did not have a source of hilarious water, adapted to an environment.
Now, with the removal of 27 goats living on the island, waiting, the restoration will grow, as well as red-red grass, but also seafoodes to spread as endangered species.
The operation was attended by ICMBI (Chico Mendes Institute), Navy, Embrapa, UESB (Southwest Bahia State University) and Adab (Bahia Agricultural Defense Agency).
After the captured between January-March, January-March, the animals were taken to the UESB campus of Bahia’s ITTapetinga. There, researchers and EMBRAPA now learn to understand how the genetic material of the goats can live without drinking water for centuries.
Professor Ronaldo Vasconcelos, an expert in a zootechnical expert, explains that these animals can carry a significant finding to the establishment of goats in the provisions of Brazil.
“We imagine a genetic material developed on an island without water. This proves this resistance and we can use this knowledge to improve the creation of goats in the country’s land areas,” he says.
Goat passes the quarantine period to adapt to the new environment and take advantage of the necessary boat for centuries without contact with common diseases on the continent.
If research confirms that they have the own genetic features, the plan to create a UESB and protection program. This may include the distribution of genetic material (such as sperm and embryos) and even animals in the dry areas.
In ABRolhos, the removal of the goat finds a more suitable environment for improving native vegetation and increase navy birds.
“Biodiversity in Abrolhos can be more prosperous and scientific research finds new answers to the development of the goat of Brazil,” said Marinho de Ibrolhos National Park
According to researchers, this operation can help the removal of an ecosystem and at the same time, it can help open new opportunities for livestock in difficult areas and a significant step for scientific.
