The latest estimates of species on the planet diversity point to the existence of 10 million life forms, of which only about 1.7 million are already classified. Human activities must be preceded by a thorough understanding of environmental variables and ecological processes, through the correct diagnosis. Thus, the present work is related to the GIS map of the conservative value of the potential habitats of wildlife for the municipality of São Gabriel, RS, Brazil. The aim is to support information for the decision-making process for the conservation of wildlife species threatened with extinction in this municipality. The research methodology involved the definition of the area covered by the survey of the species, the definition of selection criteria and the GIS maps. The analysis of the conservative value allowed interpreting and classifying, in São Gabriel, the areas in accordance with a gradient of conservative value. It was also possible to evaluate the distribution of taxonomic groups and species that contributed to the formation of the map of the conservative value this information is a subsidy for the development of land management strategies as the Biodiversity Management concepts.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
