O legado de Niède Guidon no semiárido brasileiro: a percepção de condutores de visitantes do Parque Nacional Serra da Capivara

A groundbreaking qualitative study reveals the profound and lasting impact of Dr. Niède Guidon on Serra da Capivara National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Brazil's semi-arid region. Through interviews with 50 park guides, researchers found that 80% recognize her pivotal role in establishing the park and fostering regional development. Her initiatives, including the implementation of educational programs on environmental awareness and solid waste management, as well as continuous training for guides since 1993, have created a self-sustainable model that aligns with ecotourism, archaeological tourism, and geopark principles. This study highlights how Guidon's efforts have transformed the park into a global example of sustainable management, benefiting both conservation goals and local communities.
