“…Despite the occurrence of the taxon inside a conservation unit (a RPPN), this category permits a more flexible use and the area is used by local people for recreation. In addition, the economical activities of the municipality of Itamarati de Minas include bauxite mining, cattle breeding, and agriculture, which are responsible for the deforestation of large areas of SSF in the region (Henriques & Porto 2015).…”

The importance of continuously conducting botanical inventories has been questioned in recent decades, generating a lack of investment and interest in this area. However, several applied studies are only possible after obtaining the primary data from such surveys. Despite having the greatest richness of plants known in Brazil, several areas with knowledge gaps remain in Minas Gerais (MG) state. This is the case for the Serra da Mantiqueira, an important area for biodiversity conservation in the country. In this scenario, the phytophysiognomy of Seasonal Semi-deciduous Forest (SSF) deserves attention, as it is broadly distributed and has great relevance in the state, although subsampled. Therefore, this study aimed to present records of species for the flora of MG and discuss the need for floristic surveys in Brazil. These species were recorded in three of 10 studied remnants along expeditions performed between the years of 2012 and 2019 as part of a wide study performed in SSF remnants in the Serra da Mantiqueira which have a deficit of floristic data. Three species are recorded for the first time in MG, one species was rediscovered after more than two centuries from the last collection (which represents its nomenclatural type), in addition to nine other species which must be considered rare in the state. This study contributed to filling gaps in knowledge on Brazilian flora and also demonstrated the relevance of continuing new collections, mainly in specific subsampled areas in the interior of the country such as in SSF remnants.

Mining conditions in Brazil tend to be viewed as extremely insecure. Insecurity is a situation in which potential risks that already exist directly affect people’s lives and make them vulnerable to a number of threats. One of the consequences of such insecurity is fatalism, which is the belief that fate is predetermined, and everything happens in an unchangeable way. Fatalism has been associated with undemocratic social contexts. However, political participation or participation in political decision-making has been associated in the academic literature with a decrease in a sense of fatalism. This article analyzes insecurity and fatalism among women who have assumed political leadership in the fight against mining in a small city in Brazil. The research was conducted through on-site observations, workshops on mining with women, and five interviews. The main contexts of insecurity brought about by mining were related to the fear of dam rupture, urban problems such as crime and housing, mobility, and water scarcity. Women reported that before they started protesting against the mining company, they felt impotent and hopeless. After political participation, these women felt that their identity has changed, as well as their political consciousness. It also appeared that their fatalistic time perspective has also changed indicating that autocratic social relations may be central to the perception of insecurity in some social contexts.

“…As frentes de lavra como vizinhas das casas da cidade causam impactos e preocupações para os são-tomeenses, a despeito de que pelos relatos, seja possível perceber uma diminuição nas explosões mais próximas da cidade com o tempo. Os danos ao meio ambiente fazem parte do cenário gerador das vulnerabilidades sociais, uma vez que, segundo Henriques & Porto (2015), prejudicam a sobrevivência das comunidades e causam agravos a saúde coletiva da população. Não é difícil, estando em São Thomé das Letras, perceber os danos ao meio ambiente causados pela mineração, e como esses compõem o quadro de vulnerabilidade, ou para Porto (2012), obstáculos à promoção de ciclos de vida dignos.…”

A atividade de mineração, incluindo a de não-metálicos, tem uma participação expressiva no modelo de desenvolvimento vigente. As cavas de exploração da pedra São Thomé abraçam e se confundem com o município de São Thomé das Letras, sul de Minas Gerais. Este estudo, por meio de etnografia, teve o objetivo de investigar a percepção dos moradores do município em relação aos impactos da mineração nos âmbitos da saúde coletiva e da justiça ambiental, considerando a ocorrência de silicose nos trabalhadores do setor e a proximidade das frentes de lavra e do centro urbano da cidade. O trabalho de campo, realizado entre março e julho de 2017, se inseriu no cotidiano da comunidade e incluiu a observação como meio de conhecer melhor a realidade vivida em São Thomé das Letras. Nesse período foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, gravadas e não-gravadas, tanto com pessoas que trabalham ou já trabalharam na mineração como outros membros da comunidade. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizada a metodologia de análise de relatos orais, que possibilitou o tratamento das informações para atender ao objetivo da pesquisa. Moradores e trabalhadores percebem que a mineração influencia na saúde da comunidade e pelos relatos colhidos, observa-se que a questão da justiça ambiental é expressa nas falas. A análise também revela que a comunidade é refém da atividade de mineração, no modelo predominante, fonte de dor na paisagem humana e ambiental e de sobrevivência.
