Diferentes tipos de muros limitam as cidades, podem ser reais e invisíveis, físicos, naturais, sociais, culturais, políticos e econômicos. Dentro desta temática, apresenta-se uma proposta pedagógica que trabalha os muros no mundo, na cidade de Campinas/SP e na bacia do ribeirão Anhumas. A atividade teve seu princípio de elaboração pelo grupo de pesquisa de professores Linguagens e Representações (professores da E.E. Ana Rita Godinho Pousa), no projeto colaborativo universidade-escola Ribeirão Anhumas na Escola,  com um maior foco em conteúdos de Geografia e Português. Apesar da especificidade local do desenvolvimento do trabalho, a ideia básica poderá servir de auxílio à outros professores q...

A ilustração destaca interações comuns no ambiente urbano, oferecendo uma compreensão mais profunda das relações ecológicas. Ela retrata parasitismo, hemiparasitismo e epifitismo em um cenário típico das cidades, frequentemente ignorado por olhares menos atentos.

Physical appearance: 35,5 cm. The body is bluish gray, with an iridescent region on the sides of the neck. There is a large white region on the wings. Distribution: From Northeastern Brazil to Argentina. Habitat: Cerrado, caatinga, gallery forests, fields, crops and urban areas. Diet: Feeds on seeds and small fruits. Reproduction: The nest is made of loosely crossed sticks. The white eggs (1 or 2) are incubated by the couple. The hatchlings are fed on “pigeon’s milk”. Natural history: It is one of the largest species of pigeon in Brazil. After breeding it gathers in flocks for migration. It is so common in some places that may turn into a nuisance. Has been successfully conqu...

16cm. Identification: The male is practically unmistakably recognized for the fully barred body and a black crest in the head. The female is ferruginous and has a crest and is barred in the head. It is currently the only antshrike which lives in really urban and disturbed areas. It is worth reminding that this bird has only recently conquered the urban environment. In the early 80s the first records of this antshrike in large cities were so unexpected that they yielded notes in scientific papers. Like other antshrikes it lives in couples, leaping and flying from branch to branch, usually through the short trees’ canopy in search for the small arthropods it feeds on. In the breeding seas...

15 cm. It is a small sparrow with the head striated in black and white. There is a topknot and a rufous collar around the neck that is more evident in the male. The back and the wings are brown. The immature does not have bands in the head. Cinnamon and albine mutations are not uncommon. Distribution: From Mexico to Tierra del Fuego. Absent in dense forests. Habitat: Fields, crops, woods, gardens and parks in cities. Diet: Insects, seeds and occasionally human leftovers. Licks the sweet liquid produced by aphids. Reproduction: The couple establishes a territory that is fiercely protected by the male. The nest is built in short bushes or even on the ground among tall grass. The n...

91cm. The neck and the legs are thin and long. All white, but with iris, beak and legs yellow. Distribution: Throughout the world. Habitat: Lakes, rivers, ponds, reservoirs, swamps, mangroves, estuaries and even polluted rivers. Diet: Eats fishes, amphibians, insects. The author witnessed an egret catching and eating a mouse in a riverbank in Campinas-SP. Reproduction: Breeding takes place generally in the end of the dry season, when the food supply is more abundant for this species. During this period the adults have the egrets that are long feathers used in the courtship. The breeding couples gather in nesting sites that may have hundreds of individuals, sometimes mixing with o...

A Avenida Anhangüera, possuindo 30.000 km2 foi planejada para ser o principal espaço comercial da cidade, mas conta com um importante papel ambiental e paisagístico no sentido de melhorar o micro-clima do local, além de proporcionar um ambiente agradável para turistas e cidadãos goianienses. Um levantamento foi feito na Avenida Anhanguera, na cidade de Goiânia-GO, no sentido de apontar os principais problemas causados a arborização do local. Os resultados demonstraram que as árvores da Avenida Anhanguera necessitam de um manejo adequado às espécies ali existentes e melhoria na parte estrutural, a fim de que os problemas relacionados ao calçamento, rede elétrica e malha viária seja mitigados.
