Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Motivações de agricultores familiares para recuperação florestal em duas comunidades ribeirinhas em Paragominas - PA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-03-29) BESSA, Mayara Suellen Costa; FERREIRA, Joice Nunes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1679725851734904With increasing environmental degradation, forest restoration initiatives have seen increased adoption globally, with particularly high numbers of new policies and programs in Brazil. The Brazilian Forest Code was revised in 2012 and the National Policy for the Recovery of Native Vegetation was published in 2017. Additionally, Pará state has launched its Environmental Regularization Program (PRA). Environmental restoration actions depend on the active participation of local communities. It is therefore essential to understand what factors motivate farmers to engage in ecosystem restoration. Here, we analyze motives for, and barriers against family farmers engaging in forest restoration on their properties. We conducted a field survey, consisting of a semi-open questionnaire, in Paragominas, a municipality that resides in the southeastern Amazonian state of Pará. We assessed the understanding and acceptance of the rules contained within the Brazilian National Policy for Protection of Native Vegetation (known as Forest Code), along with the participants' perceptions of natural resources and motivations for forest restoration. Two riverine communities, Nazaré and São Sebastião, located in the Capim River region, in the north of Paragominas were surveyed. Governmental forest restoration initiatives, including forest nurseries, have previously been implemented in these communities through the restoration program called “Pará Florestal” (PF) coordinated by the state institute IDEFLOR-Bio. To contextualize the restoration initiatives being developed in the studied region, we conducted interviews with employees of IDEFLOR-BIO and EMATER, the two institutions involved in the Pará Florestal Program. We used a Multiple Correspondence Analysis to identify factors which motivate smallholders to engage in forest restoration. Willingness to participate in forest restoration was not limited to those who were formally participating in the PF. However, PF participants appeared to be more connected with local biodiversity, as they cited more species to be potentially useful in restoration initiatives they also saw fewer obstacles to forest restoration. Contrary to expectations, the lowest interest in forest restoration was associated with younger people (<45 years) that had elementary education and smaller families (<4 people), indicating the need for greater incentives for this group. This study highlights a lack of confidence in restoration programs mainly due to failure of past initiatives in the region. The importance of continuity in the technical assistance provided to farmers was emphasized, along with the importance of promoting capacity building for forestry and increasing the potential for economic revenues from agroforestry systems. The results of this research indicate the need to consider the profile of smallholder families to guide programs and ensure success in forest restoration. Additionally, more incentives are necessary for ecological restoration to have a better balance between agricultural production and ecosystem services provision.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Percepção de serviços ecossistêmicos por agricultores familiares na Amazônia Oriental: subsídios para a restauração florestal.(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-04-30) ALMEIDA, Áurea Silva; COUDEL, Emilie Suzanne; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3299840369978601; FERREIRA, Joice Nunes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1679725851734904The agroforest systems are commonly recommended to family farmers who seeks to recover degraded areas. The use of this agriculture production system is relevant not only because it offers a proved diversity in ecosystem services, but also because it already is a traditional alternative to itinerant agriculture. Due to the lack of studies about de sociocultural dimension of ecosystem services and the benefits of agroforest system areas, we seek to evaluate in this work the perception and comprehension of northeast Pará family farmers about these. Pursuing this target, we realize the categorization of forest recovery strategies from a primary data collection – interviews, semi structured questionnaire, illustrated questionnaire anf Likert Scale – within the Irituia (PA) residents. Through the relative perception based on the Likert scale application, we noticed that the agricultures recognize the benefits accruing from agroforest systems and natural landscapes. Not only, had the studied group demonstrated high perception of ecosystem services in all proposed categories in the Millennium ecosystem evaluation. Furthermore, the group of agricultures with a smaller area of forest reserve and bigger area of agroforest systems is related to higher perceptions about the ecosystem services. The result suggest that a lost in forest area, in the individual level, probably drives to a higher sense about the benefits of natural systems and then, for those, the increment in agroforest system areas constitutes an attempt to return to functions and benefits lost through environmental degradation over time. The biggest motivations to forest recovery through agroforest systems, named by the farmers, were food security and commodities trade. Was also possible to identify that the agricultures of northeast Pará have an understanding that agroforest systems use contributes to recover degraded areas. Otherwise, the high perception about ecosystem services did not reflect in the plants diversity. In general, we can say that support programs are necessary to strengthen the agroforest systems capacity of provide ecosystem services and increase the biodiversity conservation.
