Percepção dos gestores de reservas extrativistas marinhas sobre os efeitos das mudanças climáticas no salgado paraense - Pará-Brasil

Abstract

Climate change is an issue that, since the last century has gained interest among scientists around the world, there are many information that have been turned to address this issue from different fronts, however, the perception of local communities is far away to be one of the most successful work topics. Brazil has a network of Extractive Reserves (RESEX), which is part of protected natural areas and where environmental managers participate who exercise control, monitoring, implementation of projects that serve as a basis for the conservation of RESEX, as well as a contact direct with local communities. Many mangrove ecosystems are concentrated in the RESEX of the Paraense coast. Around these ecosystems, traditional communities have settled that make use, enjoyment, and enjoyment of them, which have incorporated into their daily activities offered by the mangroves, which ranges from leisure, pleasure, and enjoyment to the generation of income to maintain the lifetime. In this sense, in this work the coastal region of the north of Pará was approached, the so-called Salgado Paraense with the aim of knowing the perception of local actors and the effects of climate change in this territory. To achieve this objective, the work was carried out in two phases. A first study was carried out to find out the amount of published bibliography on the perception of climate change around the world, in three main languages such as Spanish, English and Portuguese. For this bibliographic analysis, we applied natural language and machine learning to analyze more than 30,000 scientific articles. Some maps were produced on study trends, countries with major researchers interested in this topic, the methodologies used, and the approaches taken to understand the effects of climate change. Subsequently, in the second phase, surveys were applied to the environmental managers of the RESEX studied, to know their perception of climate change, interest in the adoption of adaptation strategies in the face of climate change and their perception of the role of the women in social dynamics within RESEX in the face of climate change threats. The findings suggest that studies on the perception of climate change in the coastal communities of northern Pará are necessary and have a lot of potential for their research, since the interested actors really have an affinity in adopting measures against the impacts of climate change, they show their concern about the effects on communities and mangroves, generating an alert and a call to incorporate local populations with more interest in the design and implementation of adequate and pertinent public policies. It is necessary that the actors of organized civil society, community, managers, and governments at different scales understand that the challenges are increasing to face climate change, this situation is worrying in various parts of the world, it is therefore, necessary to incorporate the vision of local communities.
