Unities of documentary will also donate to research and cultural centers and NGOs. The project is already
presented by own website WWW.NATIONALPARK.ORG.BR. The first edition of project included the Pantanal
National Park (MT) and Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park (GO). It was institutionally supported by ICMBio –
Chico Mendes Institute of Biodiversity Conservation. Now this entity is looking for financial support to continue the
images researches of national park including an important cultural/social activity with local communities.
Now the project’s purpose will serve as research source, discussion and contemplation. During the Formula
Cultural’s staff passing through the park it wil be reference for workshops with younger and students focused in:
* To register the natural and immaterial culture memory;
* To encourage the search for its origins through research, interviews, contemplation, reasoning, insight, creativity,
folklore, culture
* Recognition of their cultural values .
* To awake to the importance of national park setting people in their communities
To attend the local professional needs such as cultural producers, specialized guides, environmental agents,
biologists, among many others.
* To encourage and transmit the information to other Brazilian communities through the audiovisual, photograph,
internet and digital interaction;
Local younger as new information promoter;
* Professional qualification skill.
Local reality
The national parks are some of the few areas that still preserve its’ vegetation and original characteristics and
it’s fundamental to keep a vigilance about how the governments and communities are dealing with this matter.
These areas do not have enough governmental budgets for maintenance and management and at the same
time, the surrounding population has the right to survive. It causes unbalance in the environment. Registering
emotions from a humans’ point of view: happiness, surprise, sadness, distaste, contemplation, tiredness, will
be a way to show the environment. The conflicts between the agricultural culture – sugar cane, wheat, and
soy for consuming and exporting, grows through all Brazilian territory from the Amazons to the Rio Grande do
Sul; the population for its’ rights for surviving and the environmental preservation made the Formula Cultural
Foundation take an initiative to pursue the population into this challenge. The Brazilian population does not
have a high education and discernment level, and that’s why the usage of images is an important tool for the
understanding and starting of the individuals’ action, in which the sustainability matter is not generating
results. The population have to be capable to understand that nature’s preservation is also the generation of
money for their subsistence.

.
How to know the beneficiary people
Talking and hearing directly from local participants, the witness, history , the limits of their knowledge and
skills of discernment and transmission will be the start of proposed activities.
As an example we can comment about local communities in the Cerrado. Many are direct descendants of
Brazilian Indians and African communities. With the advance of colonial conquest of the Brazilian lands
were forced to fit into the interior of the country. Later and more recently, at the time of World War II, the
discovery of large amount of metals and crystals, that was widely used in the production of military radars,
the miners workers brought their families and established in the savanna in Goiás. With the end of World
conflict and the current efforts in environmental conservation, local communities were forced to adapt to this
evolution.

Why to do it
* Comprehension and understanding’s needs
It is proved that the information assimilation through the use of image shows immediate results . A good image
provide attention and entertainment.
* Recognition own concepts and values’s needs
The recognition of the concepts and values of their origins, traditions, histories, cultures and natural resources of the
universe where they belong, surround of National Parks, in the current global movement for environmental protection
against the effects of global warming, are extremally important for enhancement of self-esteem of local people.
•Perception of the intrinsic values of their cultures
To detect its values by encouraging curiosity, inquiry, research, the pursuit of knowledge in the most simple details of
customs, traditions and the actions and reactions of nature around you.
* Expression and information and knowledge transfer
To encourage creativity and cultural sensitibiliy through expression of audiovisual, photography and experiment.
* Self-esteem and productive capacities
To encourage initiative and capacity in any economic potential activity in the region.
Potential effects of social purpose
Not at all national parks are open to the public, which requires infrastructure for reception,
accommodation, meals, guide monitored and other needs. The parks that possess it, causes a local
community organization providing a new reality of work and income, but still lacking in many concepts
such as knowledge about their history, traditions, cultures, knowledge and memory. Other parks were
capable to create a new history such as the National Park of Serra da Capivara, which has the most
important archaeological sites of American human race. It has changed the concepts of its origin in
our continent. Today, this reality provided to local community to create from this feature, their pottery
decorated with cave inscriptions, even reaching the international market. The national parks are now
major allies in developing their local communities and needs more attention in our actions for its
evolution adding a important legacy to the local and all Brazilian culture . In addition we have the
Federal Government program to promote and structure the National Parks to receive tourists from all
over the world during the World Games.

killed the people or the devastation of natural resources.
