History

The site of the ESEC was once occupied by the Dalva farm, and later by the Don Orione Boys' Home, inaugurated by Juscelino Kubitschek in 1944. There are still some traces at the site of pottery and buildings from the past. A proposal to create a conservation area on the campus was approved in January 1979. A committee was formed, and on 29 July 1988 an agreement was signed with the city of Belo Horizonte. The site, formerly abandoned and holding debris from the university, was restored and is now used for various research projects including a Master's course in Ecology Conservation and Wildlife Management.Шаблон:Sfn
