“…According to Maciel (2007), the implementation of public policies that aim to alter the current development pattern of the Amazon region is paramount in order to reach effective sustainable development, the main dimensions of which are: ecologic prudence, social justice, and economic efficiency. 3 Among the environmental policies that sought to push back against the post-1960 transformations of Amazonian developmentalism, we highlight the creation of the Conservation Units (UC), initially based on strategic conservation zones for indirect-use biodiversity (Hall, 2000;Maciel, Cavalcanti, de Souza, de Oliveira, & Cavalcante Filho, 2018;Silva, Silva, & Yamada, 2019).…”

The disarticulation of traditional extractionism in the 1960s led to serious socio-economic and environmental problems in the Amazon. The Extractive Reserves (RESEX) arose as a sustainable development alternative for the region. However, the unique challenges in extractive activities – such as native rubber – continue to result in difficulties with economic viability since the market fails to capture the environmental attributes of the forests. These failures may impact the maintenance of eco-systemic services. The payments for environmental services, such as the environmental certification, arise as a way to compensate those who carry out environmental services. The general aim of this study is to evaluate the environmental valuation in the price formation of the rubber productive chain in the state of Acre. We work with the methodology of price formation through trade margin indicators (Markup) and Effective Appropriation according to the structure of the market circuits of the rubber productive chain in the region. Our results indicate that the extractivists of the Chico Mendes RESEX obtained, in the period of 2018/2019, a level of remuneration for their environmental services which may lead to economic viability in rubber production. However, from the standpoint of maintenance of environmental services – as well as the maintenance of the families of the extractivists – that remuneration is still not enough for an effective environmental valuation.

“…Segundo Maciel (2007), a busca pelo desenvolvimento sustentável, levando em consideração suas principais dimensões (a prudência ecológica, a justiça social e a eficiência econômica), tornouse primordial na implementação de políticas públicas para alterar o padrão desenvolvimentista na Amazônia. Maciel et al (2018) enfatizam a criação das Unidades de Conservação (UC) dentre as políticas ambientais em combate às transformações do desenvolvimentismo amazônico, pós 1960, em particular as UCs de uso direto, como as RESEX.…”

“…tradicionais, cuja subsistência baseia-se no extrativismo, na agricultura de subsistência e na criação de pequenos animais. As questões ambientais se tornaram preponderantes para a definição do tipo de assentamento a ser desenvolvido, dadas as discussões sobre o uso da terra, notadamente em torno dos níveis de desflorestamentos das áreas florestais e a sustentabilidade ambiental dos projetos(MACIEL, et al 2018).O projeto da RESEX foi criado como um instrumento que reconhece o espaço com as particularidades de uma determinada região, de modo a delimitar o ordenamento territorial. Observando ainda as relações sociais, culturais, políticas e econômicas de um povo, que até a pouco tempo tinham uma vida de forma tradicional.…”

“…In extractive reserves, traditional communities can sustain hunter-gatherer livelihoods whilst being protected from external threats such as (illegal) logging activities or cattle ranching. Extractive reserves often represent a wealth of biocultural diversity [64]. The way in which ICMBio interacts with the communities living in these extractive reserves likely influences the type of natural resource management that is concertedly conducted.…”

Conserving Biocultural Diversity through Community–Government Interaction: A Practice-Based Approach in a Brazilian Extractive Reserve

2018

We examined how community–government interaction may promote or hinder the conservation of biocultural diversity. Research was done with the extractive community of the Reserva Extrativista Riozinho da Liberdade, located in the state of Acre, Brazil. The reserve is governed by ICMBio, a Brazilian governmental organisation overseeing reserve policy implementation. This paper describes the interaction between ICMBio and the inhabitants of Riozinho da Liberdade. A Practice-Based Approach was used as a theoretical scope to look at the interaction on a practical level. It was found that ICMBio tried to develop the living standards of community members in various ways, for example, by offering suggestions for the improvement of livelihoods, and by proposing alternatives for consumptive behaviour. Although the relationship between ICMBio and the community was generally valued by community members, this did not always equal compliance with ICMBio’s rules, or responsiveness to ICBMIO’s suggestions for development. Our results show that although compliance was often suboptimal from a government perspective, biocultural diversity may still be reproduced through close interaction between community and government, and thus conserved. As such, our investigation provides counterweight to the abundant empirical evidence on the harmful social consequences of government interference in local nature governance. A main methodological insight of our work is that a Practice-Based Approach enabled us to detect (non-)compliant behaviour that would have otherwise likely gone unnoticed.
