Produktbeschreibung

This book is part of the report for the project entitled "Sustainable Action Plan: Implementation of sustainable production systems in the Umari River community", Call for Proposals No. 5 subcomponent 2.3 Community Integration. The story began with the simple proposal of a project for a call for proposals for actions to minimise conflicts between people and the management of conservation units in the Amazon. Over the course of its implementation, the project became the discovery of a universe hidden in the middle of the forest with its own dynamics of existence. The greatest product of this study is more difficult to describe, perhaps it is the light of knowledge shed on the community and the managers. The people of the community, in different ways and depths, now feel that they can be active players with the power to change, rights and also responsibilities. Immersion in the community has shown us that the problem is much bigger than simply breaking an article of law or a territorial boundary. There is a community made up of a diversity of people who are simplistically labelled "extractivists", who are crying out for help.
