| Abstract | |
Among the living ethnic groups in the Xingu Indigenous Park (PIX), the Kayabi Indians are the most populous in this forest reserve. Their environmental use strategies are the forest resource multiple use and the ecological complementary. These strategies allow the productivity diversification and low environmental impact. However, new development proposals will have to consider alternatives that are able to enhance the economical necessities, the permanency of the social, political and cultural structures and the ecological potentialities of their traditional area, according to their priorities. The objective of this research was to carry out a participative mapping survey in relation to the forestry resources traditionally used by the population. The characterization of the natural environment by this community will be accomplished by qualitative and quantitative survey methods, in ecozones, forestry types, vegetal species uses (emic categories), as well as the manipulation ways and environmental management. These ethnobotanical data will be related to the environmental classification methods used by conventional researches (ethic categories), as satellite images, vegetation map, the identification and quantification of the potential species for the forestry resources management. The productive capacity of this ecosystem and the species with potential for suitable forestry management in relation to the social and environmental aspects will be indicated by the results. (AU) | |
