Combatendo a grilagem no Amazonas através dos projetos de desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

This article analyzes the practice of public land grabbing and shows the negative repercussions that it causes for the agrarian reform policy and the environment, focusing on the reality of the state of Amazonas, which adds almost half a million hectares in the hands of grileiros. It demonstrates how gratification has historically constituted itself in Brazil, punctuating other social consequences, such as violence in the countryside, the expulsion of small squatters, indigenous people and traditional communities. It also investigates that the main reason for the phenomenon of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest is the activities related to illegal logging, which transform the areas into pasture for cattle raising. As a proposal, the research indicates that the efficient implementation of an agricultural policy through the Settlements in the model of Sustainable Development Project is one of the most effective measures to combat illegal grilagem in Amazonas. In addition, the activities carried out in the PDS generate low impact to the environment and allow the beneficiary families to explore their work in the prism of environmental sustainability. The research establishes an interdisciplinary dialogue between Agrarian Law and Environmental Law, since the themes explored are placed within these legal disciplines.
