Abstract

Managing natural resources responsibly is undoubtedly one of the greatest environmental management challenges. Therefore, remote sensing techniques have been increasingly used aiming at better and greater decision making. The present study was carried out in the northwestern (B) portion of the municipality of São Francisco, Northern state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, located in the upper-middle basin of the São Francisco River and where natural Cerrado suffered severe degradation over a 41-year interval (1975-2016). The objective of the study was, through the methodology of cartographic image overlap, by using the IDW tool of ArcGIS 10.2 software, to generate a map capable of presenting the population average of the baruzeiro (Dipteryx alata) by collection point. It can be concluded, from the successful methodological experience presented herein, that baruzeiro tree specimens, if used sustainably, can contribute to local development given their commercial potential. Their responsible use, through environmental management mechanisms based on the maps generated herein, is indicated aiming at economic and environmental development of the municipality studied.
