Entre trapiches, trilhas e vilas: organização comunitária e práticas sustentáveis no Distrito de Mosqueiro, PA, Brasil.

Abstract

The Project “Amidst docks, tracks and villages: Community organization and Sustainable practices at Mosqueiro District , PA” aims to achieve interaction of academic and traditional knowledge, in order to study and analyze social organization at Mosqueiro District -specifically the communities of Caruaru and Castanhal of Mari-mari-, to contribute to the improvement of livelihood practices so as to enable them understanding their own actions as well as the political and cultural processes involved. In this context, we will discuss actions attempting a dialog betweensystematized and traditional knowledge, interacting and planning, altogether with local families and partners, actions favoring sustainability of natural resources and supply as well as the widening of economic alternatives that provide employment, income, social inclusion and non-destructive environmental practices. One of these possibilities is community-based tourism.
