dc.description.abstractWater sustainability and universal access to water resources are essential requirements for the existence of all living beings, even in remote regions where human actions are not yet being felt with intensity. Its safeguard integrates global targets of the recognized 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, namely concerning sustainable development goals (SDGs) 6, 10, 14 and 15. The call for a global commitment in this sense is understood as one of the most challenging goals to which all sectors of society are called to intervene. This work intends to analyse the perception of lotic and lentic ecosystems of Amazon Basin, expressed by a local community. The methodology is based in interviews applied to eight inhabitants of the Municipality of Mucajaí—Roraima, Brazil, as well as on official tourism information on the territory and its contribution to the UN 2030 Agenda. The description of the results highlights that water resources in places like the Amazon basin, recognized as the largest in the world, comprises rivers, lakes and waterfalls that not only guarantee the aesthetics quality of the landscape but also contribute to the biodiversity and the balance of ecosystems. Also, lotic and lentic ecosystems can be boosted in promoting the well-being and leisure of local communities. It can be concluded that the lotic ecosystems are essential and relevant in safeguarding the water heritage in Mucajaí, Brazil, being necessary the establishment of partnerships with the government sectors, stakeholders and local communities, the latter understood as the main protagonists of the change in favour of a more sustainable future in remote regions.pt_PT
