With the growing population in the large urban centres, environmental problems caused by it are increasingly common, with more serious consequences. Manaus CITY is also suffering with the problems presented by the lack of preservation of their gallery forests, which are being amended and modified by anthropic. However, this work has as main objective, to study the environmental impacts occurring in a riparian Forest existing in the urban area of this city, because of the construction of a complex of a private property, and as a result of such valuation economic impacts. The compilation was done in three stages, the first one being the identification of the area through images of location of the area of permanent preservation, surveying and handling of technical reports; the second was the bibliographic survey to sustain the discussions from surveys performed in results acquired, referring to the valuation of environmental compensation executed in the affected area, and the third part was the development and implementation of the project of recovering area degradas to restore the losses identified and promote regeneration of this area. Through the tools employed, could be reached to the conclusion that the anthropic exerted by the enterprise to negatively affect the area addressed, such as improving the rate of sedimentation to the amount, change in the concentration of solids and increase in turbidity and the emergence of voçorocas over much of the bed of igarapé, thus bringing harm to local fauna and flora. With the use of mathematical tools, could be performed to calculate the economic valuation of environmental compensation, which indicates a theoretical value that corresponds to the costs to compensate for what has been degraded in the area. Depending on the situation presented, drafted up the Plan of recovery of degraded area, in order to mitigate the negative effects suffered, where the actions taken were very efficient, according to the results obtained in the medium and long term in the area impacted.

The regions of Caravelas and Mucuri are located in the extreme south of Bahia state, they are characterized by coastal regions with diverse ecosystems that have great importance in the life of many species cycle. They are regions that stand out as the two main cellulose producing municipalities in the country. In Caravelas region it is situated one of the leading marine parks in South America, the Abrolhos Marine National Park which has great importance in the conservation of many species and unfortunately has suffered environmental damage due to the large growth of tourism and fishing. In recent years these two regions has been the subject of great activities such as eucalyptus monoculture, cellulose and paper industries, among other activities that have generated employment for local residents and source of income. It was conducted a literature review of the two regions over the last few years in order to update the information that was previously granted such as population growth, basic sanitation data, among others, to analyze the changes in the two regions and to assess the intensity of environmental impacts in both regions. Through this study it could be observed that the two regions has shown growth in recent years and they are areas with high feasibility of implementing major industries and increased tourism, implementation of resorts and hotels, which has caused changes across the landscape and generating part environmental impacts that must be assessed and studied.
