Vegetation, Fauna, and Ecological Importance
The name of the mountain range comes from the mangabeira, a traditional tree that has long supplied local communities with fruits used in food and the production of sweets and artisanal beverages.
The variety of environments also favors the presence of small mammals, birds of prey, and reptiles adapted to transitional conditions. This diversity transforms the region into an area of interest for researchers and visitors seeking to understand the breadth of northeastern ecosystems beyond the coast.
Local Communities and the Use of Natural Resources
Serra das Mangabeiras serves as a natural divisor of watersheds and houses springs that feed essential rivers for human supply and rural activities.
Communities located nearby depend on the mountain range for subsistence agriculture, animal husbandry, and gathering native fruits.
The relief also helps to mitigate heat at certain points, creating pockets of shade and humidity that help maintain the vitality of vegetation throughout the year.
