Áreas Protegidas, Populações Tradicionais Da Amazônia E Novos Arranjos Conservacionistas

Abstract

O reconhecimento de que é possível conciliar modos de vida de Povos e Comunidades Tradicionais (PCTs) com a conservação da biodiversidade desencadeou a criação de dispositivos legais em favor da permanência desses sujeitos em suas terras. Contudo, as áreas protegidas seguem sendo espaços em disputa, nos quais se projetam os interesses sociais pelo território, como meio de produção material e imaterial da vida, os interesses que visam destinar esses espaços exclusivamente à proteção ambiental e os interesses de mercado, que permeiam muitas das práticas incentivadas em Unidades de Conservação. Neste artigo, apresento os contornos que esses conflitos assumem na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós (Flona Tapajós), onde o “direito de ficar” impôs condicionalidades à população, isto é, restrições de uso e a introdução de novas práticas que têm modificado as relações comunitárias e as dinâmicas socioeconômicas do lugar.

Religious and cultural uses of plants promoting agroecological transitions in rural settlements in Brazil.

“…According to Silva (2019), the challenges of testifying the residents belonging to a community in certain territories, as well as the ecological vocation of their livelihoods, comes from a colonial heritage. However, the conduct they adopt in their territories tends to force the governments to recognize the existence of different tenure regimes, which strengthens the struggle for the recognition of these cultural practices, compatible with conservation.…”

“…Figure 1 presents a sketch with the planning of diversifying activities adopting agroecological principles. According to Silva (2019), it is possible to associate environmental conservation and the ways of life of traditional communities. These communities, which were previously seen as barriers to both development and conservation of biodiversity, now have legal instruments to defend their rights and have contributed greatly to both aspects.…”

Participation, representation, and representativeness of traditional peoples and communities in Eastern Amazon State Water Resources Councils

“…An important milestone in this process was the "Alliance of Forest Peoples", which emerged in the mid-1980s when some of the most important leaders of the indigenous peoples and rubber tappers in Brazil came together to claim for demarcation of territories and protect their natural assets and their different forms of management and use from the creation of extractivist reserves (Silva, 2019).…”

Nursing care for the Amazon population: knowledge production and human resource development

“…Associated with the particularities of the territory, Amazonian peoples have specific ways of life and are often isolated from health resources. In the epidemiological field, the high incidence of neglected tropical diseases (NTD) coexists with the diseases of civilization, such as psychological distress, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer (2)(3) .…”
