Proteção da natureza e conflitos ambientais em assentamentos rurais
This paper aims at contributing to the debate on contemporary environmental issues in settlement areas in Brazil. Contrary to other works of evaluative and normative character, this work aims at capturing the dynamics of environmental conflicts and the limitations of nature protection actions in agrarian reform areas through the analytical framework of property rights issues and the efforts of the settled families to regulate access to and the use of collectively appropriated resources. Based on research carried out in two settlements located in Paraiba’s semi-arid region, this paper argues that the settlement process of landless rural workers goes, necessarily, through the reorganization of property rights and the establishment of social arrangements for the effective control of commonly shared resources as a response to the collapse of latifundium property rights and settlers’ conflicts, both among themselves and with external actors, regarding the exploitation of natural resources. The work reveals how the contradictions between the effective use of commonly shared resources, and the institutionalized forms of nature protection and delay in the land distribution, create uncertainties that favor the “tragedy of commons” and hinder the emergence of environmental conservation initiatives.
