This work presents a qualitative approach on the opportunities and challenges of creating protecded areas in Brazil and specifically in the state of Goiás. The study was divided into two stages, the first based on bibliographic research and government collections, being guided by the questions: Who are the protected areas in Brazil and in the world? What Brazil gains from the creation of protected areas? The country meets the main international agreements and conferences on the regulation of protected areas? In the second stage, a survey was carried out on the data of protected areas in state and federal agencies and public bodies in the state of Goiás, in addition to the use of geoprocessing images for the year 2019 provided by the Map Biomas website. The analyzes showed that, in Goiás, many of these areas exist only on paper, as they do not have a managing council or management plan, without, in practice, any preservation or conservation action being carried out. Thus, there is a need for greater management of protected areas in Goiás.
