“…As this is a CU, IES1 considers the integrity of vegetation cover in RESEX for performance purposes based on the accumulated deforestation between 2010 and 2022. (b) IES2-Extensive cattle ranching represents the main threat to vegetation cover in the Amazon [90][91][92] and in RESEX areas [31,93]. Despite the NSCU restriction on the breeding of large animals in Conservation Units, in the RESEX investigated, the policy on cattle activity takes on a distinct characteristic in their Management Plans.…”

The Extractive Reserve (RESEX) was designed to protect rubber tapping communities and their livelihoods, thus guaranteeing environmental health. This study was carried out between 2021 and 2023 and aimed to propose a methodology based on the fuzzy logic method to assess the degree of sustainability in RESEXs in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. For this assessment, 10 indicators were used, represented through input variables in the fuzzy inference systems represented by the Environmental Subsystem (ES), Economic Subsystem (ECS), Social Subsystem (SS), and Institutional Subsystem (IS), with performances that converged so that the Sustainability System in the RESEX (SRE) system reached a performance value of 30.0, on a scale of 0 to 100, which translates into low sustainability in these spaces in the state of Amazonas. The methodology’s ability to represent the main phenomena that impact sustainability in the RESEX studied through linguistic variables and weight them in their complexities, as well as inferring a set of decision rules that reflect the knowledge of experts and which aim to quantitatively contextualise sustainability under uncertainty and imprecision in these areas, makes it a viable instrument to be applied and used by managers and decision-makers in the management of these spaces.

“…Y en los bosques nacionales, se autorizan concesiones para la tala. Las evidencias muestran que otra categoría brasileña, conocida como reservas extractivas -9% de la Amazonía brasileña protegida-pierde una parte importante de los bosques cada año para actividades agrícolas y ganaderas, así como para la tala, a medida que aumenta la población y sus necesidades (Silva et al, 2017).…”

Resumen La porción del bioma amazónico incluida en áreas protegidas y territorios indígenas se ha duplicado durante las últimas tres décadas. Hoy cubre el 51% de la Amazonia. Los insectos a menudo se consideraron en los estudios previos. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las especies de invertebrados en áreas protegidas de la Amazonía son desconocidas. La situación de las especies en la parte no protegida empeora a medida que se expande la agricultura, la minería y la tala selectiva, especialmente impactando en especies endémicas en valles aislados en la porción andino-amazónica y en la periferia de la Amazonía. Además, las consecuencias del efecto de borde empeoran a medida que se multiplican los fragmentos forestales. El cambio climático tendrá graves consecuencias. La contaminación del agua tiene un impacto creciente poco medido en los invertebrados acuáticos. La taxonomía, especialmente en los países amazónicos, sigue sin ser atractiva para los entomólogos jóvenes o para las, cada día más pobres, instituciones científicas. Así, el ya difícil tema de la sistemática está empeorando a pesar de nuevas tendencias, como los códigos de barras de ADN. La preocupación por la biopiratería aumenta los obstáculos que los gobiernos imponen para la investigación científica. A pesar de todo, el balance general para la conservación de insectos es más positivo que negativo, ya que se puede asumir que la entomofauna está tan protegida en áreas protegidas como cualquier otro animal o planta. Se discuten algunas alternativas para mejorar la conservación de insectos en la región.

“…The ER model remains of critical international policy importance because it contributes to the ongoing theoretical debate on people and parks as a means of effective conservation (See key texts by Kramer et al, 1997;Brandon, 1998;Oates, 1999;Terborgh, 1999;Schwartzman et al, 2000;Moegenburg & Levey, 2002;Peres, 2005;Redford & Painter, 2006;West & Brockington, 2006;Schmidt-Soltau & Brockington, 2007;Vadjunec & Rocheleau, 2009).With much of the "people and parks" literature citing people as predators, the ER model faced strong opposition, especially during its nascent stages of development. The most strident critiques of ERs were produced by Browder (1990; and Homma (1989;1993), and continue to be cited as ground for criticism (more recently, see also Freitas et al, 2017;Homma, 2018), despite the lack of updated information. Despite early criticism by some, ERs also had strong early proponents as well.…”

The Brazilian Amazon contains the largest remaining contiguous forest in the tropics, but also faces strong development pressures and one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world. In the 30 years since the murder of the rubber tapper leader Chico Mendes and the subsequent creation of Extractive Reserves (ERs), this protected area model continues to be a conservation and development strategy that strives to secure land for forest-dependent smallholders and stem the advance of large-scale deforestation in the region. As of August 2018, 76 federal and state ERs have been created in the Brazilian Amazon, spanning over 14 million ha. Despite three decades of ER implementation and its importance to people-based conservation, there has not yet been a region-wide analysis of this model. In order to fill this gap, we analyze the spatial and temporal trajectory of ERs and how the implementation of this policy played out differently across Amazonian states. Grounded in a political ecology framework, we identify four phases of ERs implementation (inception, consolidation, expansion, and stagnation). We assess the land allotted in each state to ER protection and examine the federal and state-level political and institutional dynamics that may have favored or limited the growth of the ER model. Although ERs made an impressive impact, and remain in the spotlight of environmental policy debates in Brazil, challenges remain to combat continued pressures at Amazon development frontiers. This paper contributes to better understanding the current condition of the ER model and provides lessons for its continued implementation in the Brazilian Amazon, and its role in forest conservation.
