Changes in the relationship between society and nature in the Mezzo-region of Southeastern Pará, Amazon, Brazil
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2009) MONTEIRO, Maurílio de Abreu; COELHO, Maria Célia Nunes; SILVA, Regiane Paracampos da
With this work, the authors wish to show some of the alterations in the pattern of relations between society and nature, which have taken place throughout the 20th century in the Parauapebas and Itacaiúnas river valleys, as well as in parts of the Tocantins River valley, in southeastern Pará. This is accomplished through descriptions based on Coudreau's first-hand accounts (1889), transcribed in "Voyage a Itaboca et a L'Itacayuna", published in 1897, which depicts an area almost totally covered by forest. This is followed by a counter view made possible through the LandSat 5 satellite sensors, with images of those valleys in 2001, showing the consequences of society transformations and pressure on natural resources, and above all the dramatic decrease in the size of the forest, reduced to 52 percent of the 63,000 square kilometers analyzed herein.

Desafios da educação ambiental no ensino superior amazônico
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2022) VIANA, Janise Maria Monteiro Rodrigues; SILVA, Marilena Loureiro da
The current socio-environmental problem contributes to the emergence of several reflections that highlight the forms of social relations and the environment. This study aims to analyze the status of Environmental Education in undergraduate courses at the Federal University of Pará, University Campus Ananindeua, located in the Amazon region of Pará. To this end, a theoretical and documental research is carried out, based on the curricular prescriptions, pedagogical projects of the courses and subject programs. It is concluded that Environmental Education must occur in an interdisciplinary way, so that there is an approximation between environmental issues, academic technical content and social responsibility.

Estrutura, dinâmica e economia da pesca comercial do baixo Amazonas
(Núcleo de Altos Estudos Amazônicos, 2009-12) ALMEIDA, Oriana Trindade de; RUFFINO, Mauro Luis; RIVERO, Sérgio Luiz de Medeiros; MCGRATH, David Gibbs
The objective of this study is to characterize the fishermen and the fishing fleet of the Lower Amazon. The study is based on data collected from 3.144 boats operating out of the four main ports of Santarém. An economic analysis of the activities of these boats is based on fifty two interviews conducted specifi cally for that purpose. Results show that larger and smaller boats use essentially the same technology but significant differences exist in terms of fishing strategy. Smaller boats supply local markets, and their catches comprise a greater variety of fi sh species. Larger boats tend to specialize in a number of species of catfish, and generally supply fish processing plants. Smaller boats are less efficient in terms of CPUE (Kg/Fisherman/Day) but they are more economically efficient, earning more for each unit of money invested than larger boats. Most boats operating from Santarém have a storage capacity of less than 4t. This class size boat is thus an important source of food, income, and employment for Santarém and the surrounding region.

Etnografia e manejo de recursos naturais pelos índios Deni, Amazonas, Brasil
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2009-03) PEZZUTI, Juarez Carlos Brito; CHAVES, Rodrigo Pádua
Studies concerning the use of multiple natural resources by Amazonian indians are scarce. This work presents a portrait of how the Deni Indians, inhabitants of an area between two of the most important white-water rivers of the Amazon basin (Juruá and Purus Rivers), exploit natural resources in their territory. The Deni exploit both the upland and floodplain forests. They are a mix of horticulturalists and hunter-gatherers, using their whole territory to obtain what they need to live. As a rule, they move their settlements periodically, avoiding local resource depletion. The Deni modify the landscape at a local level, causing an increase in resource availability. Abandoned villages, fruit orchards and crops are places where floristic and faunistic resources concentrate and are systematically exploited. The impacts of such management are apparently minimal. For the Deni society natural resources are the only way to get goods for survival, but it is inserted in the periphery of a capitalist system which exploits and will continue to exploit natural resources in order to produce a surplus for the acquisition of industrialized products, independently of external judgements. This should be the starting point to evaluate sustainability in this local management system.

NAEA 45 anos: uma utopia criadora
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-04) ARAGÓN VACA, Luis Eduardo
This paper is a personal vision of the NAEA's foundations, its purposes, its trajectory, its scope and challenges from someone who has followed its history since 1976, for 42 years, therefore. It is supported by official documents on the creation of the NAEA, and texts on its production and trajectory, written by several authors, especially from home, highlighting those elaborated by Armando Mendes. Creative utopias are guiding ideas always seeking a "light at the end of the tunnel" that even without being fully achieved stimulate the creation of new concepts and methodologies. In this context, the NAEA was conceived as an integrating institution of university doing, able to break with structures and concepts that were then anchored in positivism. In constructing this utopia, the NAEA was envisaged involving three interdependent pillars that would identify it and give it its own personality. The three pillars are summarized in the key concepts of Development, Interdisciplinarity and Amazonia. The challenge, or creative utopia, is precisely to give new contents to these concepts, and make them tools capable of approaching and transforming the Amazonian reality. After 45 years, how has NAEA been responding to this challenge?, is what is asked in this paper.

Pensando a Modernização do Território e a Urbanização Difusa na Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-12) TRINDADE JÚNIOR, Saint-Clair Cordeiro da
The paper analyzes territorial modernization and the importance of the urban phenomenon for recent changes in the Amazon Region. Using the notions of “forest towns” and “towns in the forest”, this paper intends to understand diffuse urbanization, which is in progress, in a regional context. With this focus, it considers examples of urban forms and attributes regarding provisions for external economic demands. Finally, it is suggested that consideration be given to the idea of “towns for the forest” as a possible basis for the formulation of territorial policies for the Amazon, where environmental attributes and cultural practices reflect important elements of the regional peculiarity.

A teia de relações entre índios e missionários. A complementaridade vital entre o abastecimento e o extrativismo na dinâmica econômica da Amazônia Colonial
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-08) RAVENA, Nírvia; MARIN, Rosa Elizabeth Acevedo
This paper analyzes the economic dynamics of the Amazon in the colonial period through the description of social relations between Indians and missionaries built during this period. The analysis shows the complementarity between the supply and extraction highlighting specific ways that these activities have taken in the region. The article presents domesticity, reciprocity and redistribution as key elements in the reproduction of indigenous customs within the missionary settlements. On the other hand, it also demonstrates the role that global market demand for "drogas do sertão". For these groups, this demand caused an abrupt decimation of indigenous populations that were the real people responsible for the maintenance of life in Colonial Amazonia.
