Conservation Versus Development at the Iguacu National Park, Brazil1
CONSERVATION VERSUS DEVELOPMENT AT THE IGUACU NATIONAL PARK, BRAZIL1 Ramon Arigoni Ortiz a a Research Professor at BC3 – Basque Centre for Climate Change – Bilbao – Spain Alameda Urquijo, 4 Piso 4 – 48009 – [email protected] Abstract The Iguacu National Park is a conservation unit that protects the largest remnant area of the Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil. The Colono Road is 17.6 km long road crossing the Iguacu National Park that has been the motive of dispute between environmentalists, government bodies and NGOs defending the closure of the Colono Road; and organised civil institutions representing the population of the surrounding cities defending its opening. In October 2003, 300 people invaded the Park in an attempt to remove the vegetation and reopen the road, which was prevented by members of the Brazilian Army and Federal Police. Those who advocate the reopening of the Colono Road claim significant economic losses imposed on the surrounding cities. This paper investigates this claim and concludes that a possible reopening of the Colono Road cannot be justified from an economic perspective. Keywords: Iguacu Park; Brazil; Colono Road; economic development; environmental degradation; valuation; cost-benefit analysis 1 WWF-Brazil provided the financial support to this work, which I am grateful.

Although dung beetles are important members of ecological communities and indicators of ecosystem quality, species diversity, and how it varies over space and habitat types, remains poorly understood in the Brazilian Cerrado. We compared dung beetle communities among plant formations in the Serra Azul State Park (SASP) in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Sampling (by baited pitfall and flight-interception traps) was carried out in 2012 in the Park in four habitat types: two different savanna formations (typical and open) and two forest formations (seasonally deciduous and gallery). -

During scientific expeditions carried out in 2016 to identify and collect germplasm in different states of Brazil, the Terra Ronca State Park (PETeR) stood out as a potential conservation area for this species. There, cratília is well adapted to the dry season, retaining green leaves even during extended dry periods and was found to develop a shrub or climbing habit, depending on light conditions. -

Narrative Disputes Over Family-Farming Public Policies in Brazil: Conservative Attacks and Restricted Countermovements
Niederle, Paulo, et al. 2019. Narrative Disputes over Family-Farming Public Policies in Brazil: Conservative Attacks and Restricted Countermovements. Latin American Research Review 54(3), pp. 707–720. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.366 SOCIOLOGY Narrative Disputes over Family-Farming Public Policies in Brazil: Conservative Attacks and Restricted Countermovements Paulo Niederle1, Catia Grisa1, Everton Lazaretti Picolotto2 and Denis Soldera1 1 Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, BR 2 Federal University of Santa Maria, BR Corresponding author: Paulo Niederle ([email protected]) This article analyzes the conservative narratives underlying current changes in Brazilian rural development public policies. It first presents an overview of the recognition and institutionalization of family farming and the main policies created in support of this segment. Subsequently, it discusses how a conservative narrative started to question the ability of these policies to integrate family farmers into modern agricultural markets. Focusing on how this narrative tries to legitimate a new “referential” for public action, the article analyzes the discourse on newly occurring segregation between agricultural policies for productive farmers and social policies for unproductive ones. It demonstrates how this discourse excludes family farmers from the social pact that prevailed over the past three decades and depended on the state as an actor to mediate the contradictions in the unstable coexistence of agribusiness and family-farming logics. Finally, it analyzes how rural social movements are reacting to this process. Este artigo analisa as narrativas conservadoras que sustentam as atuais mudanças nas políticas públicas de desenvolvimento rural no Brasil. Em primeiro lugar, analisa o processo de reconhecimento e institucionalização da agricultura familiar e das principais políticas criadas para este segmento. -
