The Conservador das Águas Project in Extrema, MG: Institutional Arrangements for Promoting Changes in Land Use and Vegetation Cover

PÁGINAS: 60
RESUMO:

Since the 1990s, the environmental agenda has introduced new market-based instruments to ensure

conservation, such as payments for environmental services, which have come to play a leading role

in policy and decision-making processes in environmental planning, both to ensure the conservation

of ecosystems and human well-being. The Conservador da Águas Project (CAP) developed in

Extrema, Minas Gerais, has been ongoing since 2005 and was a pioneer in the use of the Payment

for Environmental Services mechanism. However, the institutional arrangements are noteworthy for

potentially causing changes in land use, vegetation cover, and land distribution through the

municipal government’s expropriation of private land owned by rural landowners at elevations

above 1,100 m and 1,200 m, with the aim of promoting environmental protection. The objective of

this research is to understand, through critical readings of Political Ecology and distributive

environmental justice, how the institutional arrangements involved in environmental conservation

practices developed within the context of the CAP in the territory of Extrema, MG, contribute to

the transformation of land use and vegetation cover. To this end, a qualitative case study approach

and a quantitative correlational approach will be adopted, grounded in the integration of territorial

planning with environmental planning, to enable the analysis of land use and land tenure changes in

relation to environmental management tools such as payments for environmental services.
