Treasures habitats for animal species in critical periods of their biological cycles. It is a Ramsar site under international protection because it is considered at risk. The objective of this work was to deepen the analysis of threats to conservation through the application of remote sensing and satellite images with digital processing, documentary and observational research. The reduction of the surface of the lagoon is confirmed. The lithological characterization and the vegetation cover of the area was obtained. An analysis of the anthropic and biological phenomena that serve to understand and monitor land degradation, desertification and loss of habitats of vulnerable native species residing there is presented.
