Protected areas have the mission of safeguarding the natural and cultural heritage. In order for them to fulfill their objectives, it is necessary to provide them with resources and planning and management instruments. In this work, we analyzed the planning and management processes of the Bananal Ecological Station (EEB), located in Serra da Bocaina in the State of São Paulo. The research was carried out from the period of the implementation of the Environmental Management Plan (PGA), published in 1998 until the conclusion of its Management Plan, which is under analysis at CONSEMA and until the time of elaboration of this work, in 2021, it was not published. For this purpose, the monographic method was used, through bibliographical research, documental research, field research and observation. There was a discontinuity in the design and implementation of projects and programs due to constant structural and political changes.
