We aimed with this research to verify if the species Hymenaea courbaril L. and H. stigonocarpa Mart. Ex Hayne located near the Serra das Araras Ecological Station (EESA) are being used in a sustainable way, and if these species are used on the EESA. Were collected information of 10 individuals of the species Hymenaea courbaril L. and H. stigonocarpa Mart. Ex Hayne on the EESA boundaries, and 10 located close to residences and the access road of the station, the most distant one being located 10 km towards the municipality of Porto Estrela. The data collected were the height of the shaft, diameter of breast height, circumference of breast height, length of major injury, width of major injury, number of injuries and whether or not they were healed. It was verified that there was a difference for the variables analyzed inside and outside the EESA, demonstrating that the ecological station is fulfilling its conservation role, but also outside it, the use of this species seems not to be carried out in a sustainable way. In addition, environmental education is recommended with the local population, so that the use of this resource is carried out in a sustainable way, and even if it is defined the number and size of the injuries that guarantee the regeneration of the tree so that it is promoted effectively the use and conservation of these species outside of the Serra das Araras Ecological Station.
