Summary: | This study aimed to analyze how the reforestation of Tijuca was reported by the press of the city of Rio de Janeiro. To this end, through historical analysis of newspaper editions Daily of Rio de Janeiro in the 1840 period to 1890, it was noted that the theories of Dryness and Streams enabled the emergence of the awareness that the destruction of vegetation, especially around of water sources, entailed in less abundant rainfall and consequently in large deficits in the supply of drinking water. Given this situation, urban demands for water supply, agricultural production, a healthier climate and play areas for the Carioca elite emerged as the main arguments for the advent of the reforestation of Tijuca. Finally, it was noted even the existence of talks with attitudes, concepts and environmental values related to Romanticism, Utilitarianism, Intrinsic Value and Value Instrumental, which shows the view of pluralism about nature, even though the occurrence of Utilitarianism has been very most recurrent. Keywords: Reforestation. Tijuca forest. History Study. O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar a forma como o reflorestamento da Tijuca foi reportado pela imprensa da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Para tal, por meio da analise historica das edicoes do jornal Diario do Rio de Janeiro, no periodo de 1840 a 1890, notou-se que as Teorias do Ressecamento e das Torrentes possibilitaram o surgimento da consciencia de que a destruicao da vegetacao, principalmente em torno dos mananciais, acarretava chuvas menos abundantes e, consequentemente, grandes deficits no fornecimento de agua potavel. Diante desta conjuntura, as demandas urbanas de abastecimento de agua, de producao agricola, de um clima mais saudavel e de areas de lazer para a elite carioca surgiram como os principais argumentos para o advento do reflorestamento da Tijuca. Notou-se ainda a existencia de discursos com posturas, concepcoes e valores ambientais relacionadas ao Romantismo, Utilitarismo, Valor Intrinseco e Valor Instrumental, o que evidenciava o pluralismo da visao acerca da natureza, muito embora a presenca do Utilitarismo tenha sido muito mais recorrente.
