Abstract

This work deals with the use of natural resources and the socio-environmental conflicts derived from this process, in quilombola territory, in the municipality of Salvaterra, located on the island of Marajó. The study is part of the necessary effort to know the specificities of the quilombola territories on the island of Marajó, whose main objective is to stimulate public actions in the face of the demands of the subjects who historically build these territories. The work was carried out by a team of researchers who carried out various field activities and used participatory cartography as one of the main methodological instruments for observation, interaction, debates, empowerment and analysis of the reality encountered. Its main results were the construction of participatory cartography, the printed return of this cartography, now available through the local school, a document that can be used at all times by its members, given the constant struggles to maintain their territories in the face of farmers who constantly put pressure on their territories.
