Interviews were conducted with members of the local population, and representatives of the following organizations: MNA, Ampla Engenharia (engineering company hired to recuperate the degraded environment), the Lourenço Mining Cooperative (COOGAL), the Amapá State Special Agency for the Environment (SEMA), the National Department of Mineral Production (DNPM), the Federal Public Attorney’s Office, State Government, and Calçoene City Hall. These actors had a decisive influence on the local results seen today. The research included studies on existent recuperation measures, historical facts occurred in Lourenço, and the social and economic context in order to understand the successful measures chosen for that place. From such data, an analysis of the DARP efficiency was conducted, and alternatives and future guidelines were suggested, based on the social and environmental features of Lourenço. The first DARP was concluded in 1995 with pour results, as the place where it was carried out was again explored by miners and remained in a degraded condition. In 2002, MNA was held in charge of the new recuperation, due to its previous failure in complying with legal requirements. The second DARP, which was partially implemented in 2003, has not been very effective, since more than 70% of the species used in some areas have perished. The negative result of both DARP’s may result from the lack of a deeper knowledge on the part of the mining companies and environmental recuperation companies, about the local environmental and socioeconomic framework. An alternative would be to try to gather local people participation on the projects and policies created for the area, in order to come up with adequate solutions for the local population characteristics and desires.porAcesso AbertoAmazônia brasileiraAmapá - EstadoÁreas degradadasRecuperação do meio ambienteMineração Novo AstroIndústria mineralAmapá - EstadoDistrito de Lourenço - APCalçoene - APDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::ECOLOGIA::ECOLOGIA APLICADA
