The Negrão de Lima university campus, in Maracanã,
houses 22 academic units. It is on this campus that
the majority of the university's teaching, research
and extramural activities are developed. Among the projects
aimed at the preservation of the environment , the most
noteworthy are those devoted to the area of environmental
education, the cleaning up of the Guanabara Bay, in
addition to consultancy work for the Rio de Janeiro
State Government, including the construction of the
underwater sewage pipeline for Barra da Tijuca, an urban
district of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Programs for
refuse recycling, administration of land and water resources,
as well as studies on crude oil, also reflect a concern
with the environment. Our mission is to direct our academic-scientific
efforts to match the needs of the population of state
of Rio de Janeiro. The environmental projects being
developed at present focus on studies and actions related
to natural resources and their relationship with human
beings. To this end, these project aim at identifying
problems, discussing public policies, and stimulating
the general public to preserve both the environment
and the quality of life.
