Capítulo 14: La Amazonía en movimiento: Políticas cambiantes, estrategias de desarrollo, pueblos, paisajes y medios de subsistencia

Abstract

This chapter presents the major ideas, actors, and practices that have shaped the Amazon’s current development and deforestation dynamics. Outlining general periods of macro policy, it traces the evolution of today’s complex interactions among diverse livelihoods, conservation, and production systems, both legal and clandestine. It highlights how Amazonians have continuously adapted to changing circumstances while fighting to advance their own proposals for conservation and equity in development.
