This work aims to discuss biodiversity conservation of the savannah through the study of its Legal Reserves. The theme of the research was arisen from the discussion about the viability of the fragments of vegetation represented by the Legal Reserve areas in the Brazilian savannah, as well as the Ecological Corridors for the biodiversity conservation of the biome. Thus, a general objective was set in order to demonstrate the importance of the Legal Reserve for the biodiversity conservation of the savannah, along with specific objectives, such as: to historically contextualize the devastation of the vegetation, mainly in the savannah; to show the savannah dynamics and heterogeneity through the analyses of its constitutive phytophysiognomic types; to perform a critical, multidisciplinary and geographical-juridical analyses of the current Forestry Code including the Law Project 1876/99 which is about to revoke the current code. This analyses covers the prescription referring to the imposed limits for the implementation of the Legal Reserves in the savannah. The methodology applied here is bibliographic. This work took into account the fact that the savannah is an environmental asset which comprises multiple and unique species of fauna and flora that are fundamental to healthy life quality of present and future generations.
