INEAF PhD student Evandro Neves recently published the article “Community Participation in the Management of the Fishing Resources in Soure Marine Extractive Reserve, in Marajoara Amazon (PA)” in the journal GeoTextos.
Neves’ article analyzes community involvement in the Soure Marine Extractive Reserve (Brazilian Amazon) utilizing semi-structured interviews and extensive participant observation. Marine Extractive Reserves are part of the National System of Conservation Units in Brazil and are designed to be innovative environmental governance instruments that promote sustainable, equitable, and shared natural resource governance.
Neves presented an earlier version of this paper in the BNRGI session of the Integrative Conservation Conference at UGA in February 2020.
