Abstract

This thesis is the result of research activities carried out in the Extractive Reserves “Verde para Sempre” and “Arióca Pruanã” in the state of Pará, aiming to establish understanding of the consequences produced by the creation of two protected areas from socio-educational and environmental aspects. The research is an ethnographic one, based on qualitative interpretation. Comparative case study, literature surveys, field surveys and interviews were used in this research. Based on these procedures, it has been described the developments generated by the creation of extractive reserves with reference to the educational public policies already planned, as well as environmental laws. The research considered the changes wrought in the dynamics of socio-political, economic and environmental relations in the towns of Porto de Moz and Oeiras do Pará, and the ability of existing public policies in order to address the needs and perspectives of people living in and surrounding the protected area. The results showed the weakness in the implementation of public policies at both protected area, lack of evidence to establish the relationship between the life on the extractive reserves and the school curriculum, lack of formal and non-formal educational projects related to protected area in the Amazon scenario.
