The identification of the SSP was carrying out several trips through the state, using as a base the vegetation (rangelands and savanna) and agricultural plantations maps (wood lands, coconut and oil palm, citrics, and others), that could show agroforestry and animal associations. There were identified seven types of SSP: scattered trees in pastures, protein banks, live fences, boundary trees, grazing in secondary vegetation, alley grazing, and grazing in plantations. It is presented information about abundance and distribution information in regard to the SSP.
