Abstract

This research aims to understand the production of the conserved nature in todays capitalism, by means of the analysis of the implementation process of the Jacupiranga Mosaic (MOJAC). Therefore, it discusses the tensions regarding the lands private property generated in its contradictory relationship with the common use of the land and nature of the quilombola (slave refugee) communities of the Sustainable Development Reserve of Quilombos of Barra do Turvo (RDSQBT), UC that composes the MOJAC in its portion located in the municipality of Barra do Turvo-SP. From the analysis of businesses and disputes regarding the land rent, which were intensified by the mosaics implementation, as well as the conflicts generated by the MOJACs management, the research focuses on the existing contradictions of the production process of such conserved nature. The natures production process is carried out by a set of practices, regulations, impositions of new meanings and conflicts regarding appropriation of the nature, and the forms and dynamics themselves resulting therefrom, whereas the determinations resulting from the biophysical processes cannot be disregarded. From the bibliographic and documental research, interviews with players involved in such process and performance of fieldwork, we examined how the environmental conservation policy the way found to guarantee the quilombola communities territory that secularly occupy the region of Barra do Turvo has been contradictorily collaborating to supporting the agrarian conflict involving the area. Furthermore, we examine the limits of the reproduction of the community common use pratices so far, responsible for the conservation of the remaining Atlantic forest in the region considering the rules that regulate environmental conservation, created and imposed by society, whose relationship with nature is measured by private property and profit generation.
