In 2025, the Brazilian National Protected Areas System (SNUC) completed two and a half decades. It includes 12 categories of protected areas as well as ecological corridors. Although its implementation has brought conservation gains to Brazil, the SNUC has been managed more as a group of protected areas than in the systemic way it was conceived. Among other gaps needed to be filled, there is an increasing fragmentation of habitats and the difficulty of establishing landscape connectors between protected areas. In this context, the Brazilian Trails Network and Connectivity (REDE) is being implemented under the CONECTA Brazil program, based on three pillars: landscape connectivity with conservation, job and income generation and recreation. REDE is a conservation tool with the long-term objective of connecting all the protected areas in Brazil through trails contained in natural corridors (greenways) thus serving also as a conservation tool for wildlife migration. So far Brazil has implemented 10,500 km of trails within the REDE policy.
