The Despraiado Sustainable Development Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Despraiado) is a sustainable development reserve in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

Location

The Despraiado Sustainable Development Reserve is divided between the municipalities of Iguape (95.36%), Miracatu (1.01%) and Pedro de Toledo (3.6%) in the state of São Paulo.[1] The reserve extends along the Espraiado River. It is almost completely surrounded by the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station.[2]

History

The Juréia-Itatins Mosaic of conservation units was created by law 12.406 of 12 December 2006. It included the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station and the newly created Itinguçu and Prelado state parks, Despraiado and Barra do Una sustainable development reserves and the Ilhas do Abrigo e Guararitama Wildlife Refuge.[3] The state parks and sustainable development reserves were carved out of the ecological station.[4] On 11 September 2007 the procurer general of the state declared that law 12.406 was unconstitutional.[5] On 10 June 2009 a judgement upheld the finding of unconstitutionality.[6]

Law 14.982 of 8 April 2013 again altered the limits of the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station, re-categorising some areas. These included the 3,953 hectares (9,770 acres) Despraiado Sustainable Development Reserve. The law recreated the Jureia-Itatins Mosaic, this time covering 97,213 hectares (240,220 acres).[7]
