“…Both settlements were previously located far from their present location. However, hunters still use those old sites (Alencar, 2007) and visit them for various activities, including hunting. We observed a relationship between spatial use for hunting activities and the distribution of water bodies, similar to that observed elsewhere (e.g.…”

In many regions primates are an important dietary resource for isolated human populations, and they are among the most hunted species by traditional and indigenous communities in the Neotropics. Little is known about the characteristics or the spatial and temporal patterns of hunting, which limits a more detailed evaluation of its impact. We describe, quantify and analyse the spatial dynamics of primate hunting in the várzea (seasonally flooded forest) and paleovárzea (characterized by a series of low-lying ridges interspersed with flooded depressions, which result from cyclical depositional processes) environments of Central Amazonia, based on the monitoring of riverine communities at the Amanã and Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserves over an 11-year period. During this time 402 primate hunting events were recorded, involving the harvesting of 541 individuals of nine species: Alouatta juara, Aotus cf. vociferans, Ateles chamek, Cacajao ouakary, Callicebus lucifer, Cebus albifrons, Saguinus inustus, Saimiri cassiquiarensis and Sapajus macrocephalus. Two hundred and forty of these hunts occurred in the paleovárzea and 162 in the várzea. The distances travelled by the hunters from their communities to the kill sites were significantly different between the environments, with longer distances being covered in the paleovárzea. Hunters in the paleovárzea also hunted across significantly larger areas than those in the várzea. The continuous monitoring of hunting areas and the gathering of data on the exploitation of species are necessary to understand the effects of hunting, as well as to support decision making in the management of the local fauna by traditional communities, and the development of effective conservation strategies for the local game species.

“…But, for those who remained, the right would be legitimised because they provided continuity to the actions of their ancestors, while the others preferred to leave, thus breaking symbolic ties with the territory (ALENCAR, 2002(ALENCAR, , 2007. Therefore, the characteristics of territoriality of the families who live in the Japurá-Maraã region, and which were identified in other contexts (LIMA; ALENCAR, 2000;ALENCAR, 2002ALENCAR, , 2009, indicate that the territorial right, both for those who migrated and for those who remained, is not given only because of ownership to a family who opened the place and developed the territory, but because of continuity of actions by present-day generations. This reinforces the link with the territory and with the kinship group, and guarantees to its descendants the right to the territory and to the use of natural resources.…”

“…Some had commercial ties with tradespeople from other regions who had control over natural resource extraction in areas that had fish-abundant lakes and wood resources, or who leased these areas for extraction by third parties (ALENCAR, 2009). The families signed all kinds of agreements with these merchants, including relationships of commercial exchange and, more recently, symbolic exchange, considering they function as political capital for those merchants who run for public office in systems of representation of legislative or executive power.…”

This article highlights the main features of the territoriality of social groups that occupy the communities located in the Japura-Maraã region, which encompasses part of the territories of the Mamirauá and Amanã SDRs, AM, and the strategies used by households to guarantee access to natural resources. The analysed data are the result of research that aimed to map the territories occupied by different social groups that form communities, seeking to identify situations of conflict and their relation to the control of access to natural resources in areas where fishing resource management activities are being undertaken. The analysis shows that, in the last one hundred years, the geographic mobility of families in search of natural resources has contributed to the formation of territories that have lakes and land rich in forest resources. These families, who settled in several villages, built social relationships and a large territory, and exercised control over access to natural resources, giving priority to members of their kinship group. It was concluded that competition for territories with former residents who migrated to urban areas, and alliances with external actors, such as fishing entrepreneurs, hinder the work of building territorial pacts and generate conflicts. RESUMO O artigo destaca as principais características da territorialidade de grupos sociais que ocupam as comunidades situadas na região do Japurá-Maraã que engloba parte dos territórios das RDS Mamirauá e Amanã, AM, e as estratégias utilizadas pelas famílias para garantir o acesso a recursos naturais. Os dados analisados resultam de pesquisa que teve como objetivo mapear os territórios ocupados por diferentes grupos sociais que formam as comunidades, procurando identificar situações de conflitos e sua relação com o controle do acesso a recursos naturais em áreas onde estão sendo realizadas atividades de manejo de recursos pesqueiros. A análise mostra que nos últimos cem anos a mobilidade geográfica das famílias em busca de recursos naturais contribuiu para a formação de territórios que possuem lagos e terras ricas em recursos vegetais; estas famílias estabelecidas em vários povoados construíram relações de sociabilidade e um amplo território; e exerceram o controle do acesso aos recursos naturais, priorizando os membros de seu grupo de parentesco. Conclui que a disputa por territórios com ex-moradores que migraram para a área urbana, e as alianças com atores externos, como empresários de pesca, dificultam o trabalho de construção de pactos territoriais e geram conflitos.

“…Currently, ASDR is home to approximately 5,000 inhabitants, distributed across 124 communities (or villages) and independent (or isolated) households [ 47 , 2018 demographic census]. The population includes families of Amazonian origin, typically known as caboclos , as well as migrants from northeast Brazil, referred to in the region as arigós [ 79 ]. The formation of so-called caboclo society reaches back to the early Portuguese colonization of the Amazon, including a strong indigenous component in its constitution [ 80 – 83 ].…”

Background Drawing on Phillipe Descola’s comparative analysis of ontological regimes across cultures, this article identifies analogism guiding ethnobiological repertories among two distinctive traditional tropical forest communities in Brazil. Methods We carried out participant observation, semi-structured interviews and informal dialog with 48 individuals, among quilombolas of the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil and ribeirinhos of the Amazon. Results We documented 60 traditional practices governed by analogical principles, comprising hunting, ethnomedical practices, food taboos, and other interactions with non-human entities. We also identify and classify the analogical principles reported in the field data. Based on this classification, we address the phenomenological dimension of the ethnobiological repertoires and discuss the epistemological and ontological foundations of this form of reasoning. We also hypothesize on the role of analogism shaping ethnobiological repertories more generally in Brazil. Conclusion The heuristic model we apply—articulating phenomenology, epistemology and ontology—could prove valuable in ethnobiology and the emerging field of “anthropology beyond the human.”
