“…In another example, small‐scale gold miners in west Africa manage to “make time” amid rapid change in extraction techniques, migrating workforces or the depletion of miners (Lanzano 2018). And as part of small‐scale gold mining and social conflict in the Amazon project (http://www.gomiam.org), many anthropologists have demonstrated the importance of a temporal dimension to understanding why mining conflicts do not turn violent (Salman and de Theije 2017), as well as the kind of innovations that help miners achieve sustainable production without the kind of solutions suggested by large‐scale companies (Massaro and de Theije 2018). James H. Smith's (2011) studies on Congolese coltan have shown that people effectively respond to temporal dispossession by socializing the coltan that is otherwise a cause of death and displacement.…”

“…Respecto a la minería ilegal de oro, en el municipio de San José del Fragua, se realiza a través de la minería de aluvión, de manera muy rudimentaria con el empleo de bateas y algunos con motobombas, y para el proceso de beneficio se utiliza el mercurio. Los principales impactos son la erosión del suelo, el incremento de sólidos suspendidos a las fuentes hídricas y, por supuesto, el más nocivo, la contaminación del agua, el aire y el suelo con mercurio, que no solo repercute en el medio ambiente, sino también en los pobladores aledaños a las actividades mineras, y se ven intensificados, además, por la poca conciencia en torno a los posibles daños generados (Salman & De Theije, 2017).…”

“…Así mismo, en las zonas de la región amazónica correspondientes a Surinam, Bolivia y Brasil, se ha evidenciado cómo la presencia de minería ilegal del oro deriva en tensiones dentro de las comunidades y en un incremento de la pobreza y la delincuencia (Salman & De Theije, 2017). Sumado a ello, y teniendo en cuenta que la minería aurífera ilegal suele desarrollarse en condiciones laborales poco salubres y peligrosas, esta actividad conlleva conflictos sociales entre los dueños de las minas o los titulares de la concesión y los trabajadores.…”

“…Nesse período, os povos da floresta ganharam notoriedade internacional e foram protagonistas no discurso ontológico sobre a dicotomia existente entre sociedade e natureza e na promoção do conceito do desenvolvimento sustentável (HOLDEN et al, 2017).Ocorre que na prática, as discussões sobre a sustentabilidade na Amazônia foram sendo adaptadas para buscar a conciliação entre os interesses econômicos, sociais e ambientais, perquirindo soluções moldadas para atender ao modelo clássico de desenvolvimento econômico, porém com suas demandas atuais (FUKUDA-PARR, 2016). Após quase vinte anos do novo milênio, a Amazônia traz a lume no debate nacional e internacional os velhos conflitos que envolvem a expansão da fronteira minerária em terras indígenas e seus desdobramentos socioambientais (SALMAN;De THEIJE, 2017). Cabe ressaltar que o direito de grupos indígenas no Brasil, o reconhecimento dos seus modos de vida e seu direito de autonomia estão ancorados na Constituição Federal Brasileira de 1988 (BRAGATO;.…”
