Protected Areas are defined, recognized, designated and managed by legal means, whose objective is to conserve natural aspects in the long term. The National System of Nature Conservation Units (SNUC) establishes criteria and standards for the creation and management of Conservation Units (CUs), integrating legal categories in an organized manner. However, the fragmentation of data on their geographic distribution makes it difficult to assess their effectiveness in protecting biodiversity. In view of this, this study analyzed the distribution of public and private CUs in Brazil, considering states and biomes, through Law 9.985/2000 (SNUC) and data from CNUC and CNRPPN. Subsequently, focusing on Paraná, detailed mapping by mesoregion of Private Natural Heritage Reserves (RPPNs) was carried out, identifying concentrations in the Western Mesoregion (45 units), a region marked by intensive agriculture and proximity to the Iguaçu National Park. The georeferenced analysis revealed the distribution of RPPNs by mesoregions of the state: Mesoregion of Western Central Paraná (25), Mesoregion of Northwest Paraná (38), Mesoregion of Central North Paraná (32), Mesoregion of Pioneer North Paraná (21), Mesoregion of Eastern Central Paraná (33), Mesoregion of Southeast Paraná (8), Mesoregion of West Paraná (45), Mesoregion of Southwest Paraná (29), Mesoregion of South-Central Paraná (8) and Mesoregion of Metropolitan Curitiba (32). The georeferenced analysis revealed the distribution of RPPNs throughout the state of Paraná that state policies, such as the Ecological ICMS and environmental compensation linked to licensing (Law 15,234/2006), drove the creation of RPPNs. To deepen the discussion, the case study at Gênesis S/A (Ouro Verde do Oeste) characterized geoenvironmental and phytoecological aspects, highlighting the role of RPPNs in the recovery of degraded areas and in the formation of ecological corridors. It is concluded that RPPNs complement public conservation efforts, mitigating the impacts of forest fragmentation, and even small RPPNs play an important role in the conservation of areas, being in many cases the only Conservation Units in several Brazilian cities.
