The methodology used was based on thesearch and choice of secondary information such as documents, images and audiovisual resources, in addition to conducting interviews with administrative staff, researchers and users of the reserve. The systematization of the information was carried out through the development of applications for mobile devices with the Android operating system, with the use of Flutter, Dart, Visual Code and Google RA, ARCore; and the evaluation and validation was carried out through the application of a survey to differentsocial actors that are part of the protection area. An application was obtained that contains information distributed in different windows or entries on general aspects of the reserve, as well as its biodiversity, the community, tourism and aspects of theuse of the application.
