“…It is notable that between the first and last record for the region of Oriximiná there is a time interval of 30 years. In Oriximiná and in the village of Porto Trombetas, in the mid-Amazonas region, several socio-environmental conflicts have been registered in the last five decades due to the establishment of a bauxite extraction plant in the region (Monteiro 2005;Wanderlei 2008). The local extraction of bauxite has led to numerous negative impacts such as deforestation, the contamination and silting of rivers and the displacement of riparian and "quilombola" peoples (Wanderlei 2008).…”

Occurrence of leucism in Eira barbara (Carnivora, Mustelidae) in Brazil

The occurrence of anomalous coloration (albinism, leucism and melanism) in mammals is a rare phenomenon in nature, but this phenomenon has been reported for several species of mammals. In this study, we report on the occurrence of leucism in Eira barbara by examining three road-killed individuals and two sightings of live animals in Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Santuário do Caraça, southeastern Brazil. In addition, we examined tayra specimens housed in mammal collections from Brazil and USA. The animals found dead and those sighted had a whitish yellow fur on the body and head, resulting in lighter coloration than the coloring pattern commonly observed in tayras. Despite these lighter color pattern, the specimens showed parts of soft tissue, such as iris and the skin, with pigmentation very similar to that present in individuals with the typical color pattern. This set of factors indicates the specimens recorded were in fact leucistic and not albino. Among the specimens examined in the scientific collections, we found nine individuals from different localities that presented the whitish yellow color pattern. Some studies attribute the higher frequency of cases of leucism due to small populations and / or with some mechanism of reproductive isolation. Thus, analysis of the genetic variability of populations containing individuals with such characteristics should be considered. On the other hand, the occurrence of polymorphic color phenotype in tayras indicates that hypotheses related to the fixation of recessive characteristics, or on possible environmental adaptive advantages of these phenotypes can be tested.

“…The industries themselves and the hydroelectric infrastructure built to support industry also required the use of huge areas of land in Amazonia. At present, adverse effects on the natural environment are highly evident through river and air pollution and decreasing fish stocks, all depleting the once noble jungle and regional forest resources (Fearnside, 2006;M. A. Monteiro, 2005).…”

A socio-environmental development programme in action in Brazilian Amazonia

This paper deals with the process of scaling up and scaling down grassroots demands through a state-sponsored socio-environmental development programme in Brazilian Amazonia called Proambiente (Pro-environment). The paper attempts to understand the links between the three different levels of the programme actions: the macro (federal government), intermediate (NGOs), and local (community) levels. The central paper's issue is to understand how a state-sponsored socio-environmental development programme interacts with and impacts local communities. The theoretical paper's framework involves the approaches of participatory development and governance. The methodology is based on three levels of qualitative analysis (macro-, intermediary-and locallevel). The paper (a) describes the trajectory of the Proambiente and the process of scaling up communities' demands; (b) reveals contradictions within the Proambiente implementation; and (c) debates the impacts of the programme actions at local level. The paper reveals that once the state encompasses local people's demands and creates a development programme, the development model absorbs multi-actor interests that change local people's proposals. It also shows that the challenge facing a socio-environmental development programme like the Proambiente is to find a balance between production and conservation aims.

“…A atividade minero-metalúrgica ganhou contorno tipicamente empresarial nas décadas de 60 e 70 com maior crescimento nos anos 80, sendo uma das grandes frentes de desenvolvimento concentrado na Amazônia Oriental nas últimas cinco décadas (Enriquez 2000, Coelho et al 2005, Monteiro 2005). Devido às características geológicas, aliada à logística (energia e estradas), o estado do Pará despontou como a principal locomotiva neste ramo econômico na região amazônica (Santos 2002, Monteiro 2005) -o que resultou em relevantes conflitos socioambientais (Enriquez 2000, Farias 2002, Coelho et al 2005.…”
