Cajueiro: agroextrativismo e relações sociais de gênero em contexto socioambiental na Amazônia paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-07-05) DI PAOLO, Darcy de Nazaré Flexa; TEISSERENC, Maria José da Silva Aquino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1799861202638255
The main objective of this thesis is to identify and analyze, where agroextractivism is concerned and within the context of gender-related social relations, the most significant extractive income-generating activities and those intended for financial autonomy, and how they correlate with the productive cycles of the natural resources being used and the family arrangements that are built in the Cajueiro Community, located within the limits of the Caeté-Taperaçu Marine Extractive Reserve, in Pará State - part of the Brazilian Amazon. And as specific objectives: to understand how the main agroextractivist practices and the gender based social relations related thereto are articulated; to identify how men and women work in the activities related to the use of natural resources aimed at financial autonomy and those geared at marketing; to investigate power relations that permeate the rules established as from the presence of the Resex and the day-to-day life of the dwellers; and to identify the most critical issues related to life in the community, in the perception of the local social players. The main theoretical foundation of this research was Michel Foucault’s contribution, particularly with regard to the notion of power relations. It was based on qualitative research and information-gathering techniques in the field: participant observation, semi-structured interviews, focus group and circle of conversation. It can be concluded that agroextraticvism constitutes the basis of productive activities in the community being studied, with family agriculture being the most representativeness. In addition, fishing stands out for the many types of fish as well as shrimp and crab harvesting. Said activities are performed according to the productive and reproductive movement of the natural resources being used, which imply family arrangements anchored, in turn, by gender-based social relations. And, despite the implications of power that surround it, said community – following the example of most so-called traditional peoples - does not allow itself to be subdued, thus renewing itself and resisting in its way of life, even if in such way it would be contrary to the current global context.

Cooperação e conflitos na gestão da Reserva Extrativista Marinha de Maracanã, Estado do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-02) SANTOS, Luiz Carlos Bastos; SCHMITZ, Heribert; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2294519993210835
Extractive reserves are areas of common use devoted to the conservation of natural resources, and intended for traditional populations. The management model performed in this type of Conservation Unit must take place through the establishment of formal rules which enable regulating the exploitation of natural resources in the area, in addition to allowing participation of the local community. The objective of this study is to examine the cooperation and conflicts among users in the management process of the Maracana Extractive Marine Reserve, State of Pará. This study used a qualitative approach, through which techniques such as observation and interviews were used to collect a variety of data otherwise accessible only by establishing a direct contact with the individuals participating in the action. Primary and secondary data were surveyed. Therefore, five field surveys were carried out. In the field surveys, it was possible to monitor the implementation of different activities related to collective management of the area, and twenty-five semi-structured interviews were applied. Literatures with approaches related to the issues being considered were accessed. The main collective space for decision-making, the Deliberative Council of the Maracana Extractive Marine Reserve (MEMR) comprises several authors, in addition to the users which participate representatively. However, the meetings have not been held regularly. The Committees, which are organizational structures composed solely of users who propose to collaborate with the management of MEXMR are highlighted in the process. Finally, the Committees are considered differential in the management process of this conservation unit, and an initiative intended to increase the participation of traditional populations in the management of that space, as to ensure the conservation of natural resources as stated in the official management tools of the area. However, the simple creation of organizational structures, if, for example, devoid of support material and coercive power, will not be consolidated as the solution to remedy the existing weaknesses in the management of natural resources of that space intended for common use.

A última peça do mosaico das unidades de conservação da Terra do Meio - Pará- Brasil: o processo de criação da Reserva Extrativista do Médio Xingu

In recent decades, the Amazon region has been drawing attention for its biodiversity potential and for the presence of traditional populations that use natural resources with a low impact on the ecosystem. Because of the importance of biodiversity, the rise in deforestation, and the encroachment on public lands (including "land-grabbing"), the government supported by NGOs, has proposed the creation of conservation units in large blocks. A study on the process of creating the Extractive Reserve of Rio Xingu, in Altamira, Pará is addressing the occupation of the Xingu River basin, colonization, the presence of indigenous peoples, "land grabbing" of public lands, and the description of non-governmental and governmental work for the creation of extractive reserves and protected territories for the traditional population. Conflicts between the government and the riparian (traditional river-dwelling) communities arise because the governmentadjudicates protected areas that are used by riparian communities for their livelihoods . The results of the research indicate that there is a need to generate knowledge and a constant dialogue with local communities before proposing an ecological intervention. The study also shows that ecological intervention reduces land grabbing, deforestation and violence against local communities. Lastly, the study proposes the creation of a mechanism to protect territories where there is a presence of traditional populations, which guarantees the population the use of natural resources for an indefinite period until the government designates the land for a particular use. The studies were conducted in a Masters Program in Family Farming and Sustainable Development at the Amazon Center for Agrarian Sciences and Rural Development at the Federal University of Pará.
