This study aimed, perform ethnopharmacological study on settlement Denis Gonçalves (with the MST and Colonos groups), to evaluate the transfer of ethnopharmacological knowledge and the degree of vulnerability regarding the use of the main native species used. We used the methods: semi-structured interviews; collection of botanical material and voucher record in Herbarium, quantitative analysis using the use of risk calculation and use value. They were also made comparisons of ethnopharmacological knowledge regarding the scientific literature and the recommendations of the RDC nº 10 - ANVISA for priority implementation of suggestion in medicinal garden. Medicinal plants have been selected as their relevance to use for the respondents and for those native species of Atlantic Forest, they were evaluated for the current condition in the study area, thus raising consequently subsidies for the construction of sustainable management plan.
