Resumo

The need to conserve what remains of the planet's biodiversity has become a tacit consensus over the last 40 years, placing the issue definitively on the agenda of global environmental problems to be socially solved. However, the decision on the best pathways for biodiversity conservation continues to be the subject of intense political disputes. Therefore, the need to reconcile sociocultural and ecosystem effects in the implementation of conservation projects remains a current topic of debate. This article aims to present the conceptual bases of the 'convivial conservation' approach, identifying contributions of this proposal to the collective construction of realistic alternatives that focus on the political-economy dimensions of the challenge of promoting the diversity of human and non-human life on the planet. We carry out a genealogy of the emergence of convivial conservation, unpacking it's historical and current discursive contexts. First, we situate the emergence of convivial conservation in the context of the "transformations to sustainability" literature, specifically highlighting the contribution of the critical social sciences to the transformation of biodiversity conservation. Then, we present the characteristics of the main trends and paradigmatic lines that guided the actions and policies for biodiversity conservation historically both in Brazil and worldwide, namely "fortress conservation", "participatory conservation" and "neoliberal conservation". Furthermore, we evaluate the updates of these lines in the current global debate, presenting the main features of the "neoprotectionist" and "new conservation" trends, in their distances and approximations in relation to "convivial conservation". Finally, we present the principles of convivial conservation and the actions that concretize the proposal, in its interface with the Brazilian and Latin American context. We hope that this systematic and contextualized presentation of convivial conservation can contribute to the construction of transdisciplinary and democratic tools for research and intervention in biodiversity conservation, especially in Brazil.
