# ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: Drone Operations Prohibited in Vila Velha State Park

**Drone flights are strictly prohibited within the boundaries of Vila Velha State Park.** Operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs/drones) in this area is illegal due to environmental protection laws and safety regulations regarding geological formations.

### 📜 Key Regulations and Authorities

* **IAT Environmental Laws:** The Water and Land Institute (**IAT - Instituto Água e Terra**) strictly bans unauthorized drones. The park is a Conservation Unit, and drone noise disturbs native wildlife, such as maned wolves and birds.
* **Geological Preservation:** The park's famous sandstone formations (*Arenitos*) are extremely fragile. Unauthorized drone crashes risk damaging these ancient, protected geological structures.
* **ANAC & DECEA Compliance:** The National Civil Aviation Agency (**ANAC**) and the Department of Airspace Control (**DECEA**) forbid unauthorized flights over crowds of tourists, open panoramic elevators, and walking trails.

### ⚖️ Penalties for Violations

Failure to comply with these regulations will result in serious legal consequences:
1. Immediate **interception and confiscation** of the drone by park security.
2. Heavy **environmental fines** applied by IAT and environmental police.
3. Potential **prosecution for environmental crimes** against heritage protection laws.

### 🎥 Professional Media Permits

If you require authorization for professional filming, scientific research, or commercial purposes, you must:
* Request formal authorization well in advance from the **IAT** and the park's private concessionaire (**Parque Vila Velha**).
* Secure mandatory flight approval and registration via the [DECEA SARPAS system](https://decea.mil.br).
