“…There is a relative consensus in the literature (Acosta 2016;Andrade, D. 2022;Gudynas 2010Gudynas , 2012Svampa 2016Svampa , 2019 that 'dependence on the extraction of natural resources as a vector of economic growth' (Milanez & Santos 2013, p. 123) is a striking feature of the history of Latin American countries, as well as of other regions. This centrality of the exploitation of natural resources for regional economies can be encapsulated in the idea of extractivism.…”

“…Those sectors are usually based on regional enclaves, meaning their activities are concentrated in some areas that are characterized by differences in a variety of variables such as resource availability, infrastructure, supply chains but also social, cultural and sometimes political features. Extractivism involves intensive activities in the appropriation and extraction of natural resources (Gudynas 2010;Svampa 2019), encompassing both minerals, oil and gas, as well as agricultural, forestry and fishing activities (Acosta 2016;Andrade, D. 2022), mostly exported in the form of products with a low degree of processing (Acosta 2016), designated as commodities.…”

The Serra do Curral is a mountain range that extends to the municipalities of Belo Horizonte, Sabará and Nova Lima, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. It is already deteriorated by a long history of mineral extraction not followed by any environmental restoration. Since the 1960’s, Serra do Curral has been an object of many civil society collective actions calling for its preservation. In 2022, the authorization of new mining operation provoked a strong civil society reaction. A coalition of environmental and social activists, alongside new political actors convened in defence of Serra do Curral now demand the immediate revocation of the licence. The present article analyses the current conflict, identifying the main actors, their collective action repertoires, and how those actions play out as the conflict unfolds. The research is conducted through documental inquiry, media coverage analysis and on-site direct observation. Looking into the political struggle around new-extractivism conflicts, we argue, can provide important data and insights about resistance and the developing of alternatives.
