A Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Aventureiro: percurso e percalços de uma comunidade da Ilha Grande (RJ) na condição de unidade de conservação

Abstract

Praia do Sul Biological Reserve and Aventureiro Marine State Park in Ilha Grande, (Angra dos Reis, RJ), were protected areas which have been created while ignoring human occupation within their limits, in line with the scope of Brazilian environmental politics at the time. Because of that the community of Aventureiro beach had its traditional practices prohibited or threatened by having become strict protected areas unidades de conservação de proteção integral according to Brazilian laws. After decades of contradictions and conflicts about inhabiting such protected areas, their legal reclassification into a more flexible category Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável ) emerges as a possibility to solve those contradictions and conflicts. In 2014, Aventureiro Sustainable Development Reserve (RDS) was created. This work verified that there was no change in the community life and that RDS was not implanted, still without Management Plan and Deliberative Council. Since 2015 government of Rio de Janeiro state purpose a Public Private Partnership for management of Ilha Grande protected areas, assuming that may endanger the RDS and Aventureiro community-based tourism
