With the growth of urbanization, vegetation and springs have been destroyed
throughout Brazil, and with this, rational and irrational beings are being harmed, since
vegetation as well as water resources is the most important part of the balance of life
in the Earth. The objective of this work is to understand the causes that led to the
destruction of the gallery forests of the Pira stream, in Passarinho, Tocantinópolis - OT
municipality. This research, besides dealing with the deforestation of gallery forests in
the Pira stream, also shows the importance of preserving the environment. Also the
textual discussion here, seeks to encourage people to align themselves with education
and environmental awareness to act consistently in the defense of the environment.
The research shows that it is of utmost importance to take care of the gallery forests
of the streams and not to destroy them, and when necessary, to restore the forests
that were once devastated. This analysis was elaborated from a field research, where
we adopted as method of a qualitative research based on the experiences of the elders
of the community.
