We report the rediscovery of Pithecia vanzolinii in the upper Juruá River Basin, in the State of Acre, Brazil. An individual was collected after being hunted by a local inhabitant of an extractive community in the Riozinho da Liberdade Extractive Reserve. This is the first record of this species in the last 60 years and highlights the importance of intensifying studies of this almost unknown species.

This study was conducted in an Amazonas state conservation unit, the Catuá-Ipixuna Extractive Reserve (Catuá-Ipixuna RESEX). The main purpose was to provide an ichthyological survey of its small streams, all them tributaries of the Solimões River. Nine small streams (up to 4 m width and 1 m depth) were sampled in September 2006. A total of 1,525 specimens were captured, belonging to 78 species, 24 families and eight orders. Eight species had higher abundances and represented altogether 61.4 % of all collected specimens (Hemigrammus belotii, Microphilypnus amazonicus, Physopyxis ananas, Apistogramma agassizii, Elachocharax pulcher, Apistogramma cf. cruzi, Gladioglanis conquistador and Copella nigrofasciata). Based on the high number of singletons and doubletons present in our samples, as well as the estimated number of species for those streams (106 spp.), we believe that the total fish species richness present in the Catuá-Ipixuna Extractive Reserve may be considerably higher than indicated by our samples. This seems especially true when considering the dimensions of the Catuá-Ipixuna RESEX and the dense hydrographic network present in the area.

EEste artigo apresenta como discussão temática o turismo de base comunitária sob influência do processo de proteção da natureza, que tem como estratégia a criação de Unidades de Conservação, das categorias Reserva Extrativista e Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Neste contexto, considera-se a lógica peculiar da dinâmica social, ambiental e cultural da Reserva Extrativista Prainha do Canto Verde (Ceará) e da Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Aventureiro (Rio de Janeiro). O objetivo do trabalho se define na descrição e análise sobre o processo de fortalecimento do turismo de base comunitária sob influência das Unidades de Conservação instituídas na área abrangente da Prainha do Canto Verde e da Vila do Aventureiro. O caminho metodológico de trabalho compreendeu pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo, desde 2003, considerando dados de projetos de pesquisa e extensão universitária, como possibilidade de cobertura ampla de fenômenos semelhantes, permitindo uma comparação dos resultados obtidos para ampliar as perspectivas de análise temática. O resultado principal alcançado na pesquisa se baseia na importância da criação da Reserva Extrativista Prainha do Canto Verde e da Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Aventureiro para a valorização e validação do turismo de base comunitária, garantindo sua premissa básica: a concepção, o planejamento, a operação e a gestão do turismo pelos agentes locais. Community-based Tourism under the influence of Nature Protection process in the Extractive Reserve Prainha do Canto Verde (CE, Brazil) and the Sustainable Development Reserve Aventureiro (RJ, Brazil) ABSTRACT This paper discusses Community-based Tourism influenced by the process of nature protection and the strategic creation of Conservation Units, and the categories Extractive Reserve and Sustainable Development Reserve. In particular, we approach the peculiar logic of the social, environmental and cultural dynamics of the Extractive Reserve of Prainha do Canto (Ceará,Brazil) and the Sustainable Development Reserve of Aventureiro (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) to describe and analise the reinforcement of Community-based Tourism in the conservation units created in these Reserves. The methodology includes bibliographical, documental and field research conducted since 2003, and the extension and research academic projects covering similar phenomena to enable a comparison of the findings to widen the perspectives of the analysis. The main findings point to the relevance of the creation of Reserves for valorization and validation of Community-based Tourism assuring its basic assumption: the conception, planning, operation and management of tourism by local agents. KEYWORDS: Community-based Tourism; Nature Protection; Extractive Reserve; Sustainable Development Reserve.

O objetivo geral do presente estudo foi analisar a participação e o envolvimento da comunidade local no processo de criação Reserva Extrativista Marinha Mestre Lucindo localizada no município de Marapanim no estado do Pará. Teve como objetivo específico identificar quais comunidades da REM que já trabalham com o turismo e saber as expectativas dos usuários da REM para o futuro do turismo na referida Unidade de Conservação. Para o desenvolvimento do estudo foram realizados levantamentos e análises em bibliografias que forneceram subsídios teóricos e conceituais para a pesquisa. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada com entrevistas e aplicação de questionários, bem como a observação do modo de vida de duas comunidades. Os resultados mostram que a maioria da população desconhece que seu território se tornou uma Unidade de Conservação, mas associam a criação da UC com a melhoria na qualidade de vida. O turismo acontece de forma desornada, embora a REM tenha grande potencial turístico. Porém, há falta de planejamento e organização. Propõe-se o planejamento do turismo de base comunitária para valorizar o conhecimento tradicional e atividades sustentáveis das comunidades locais. Mestre Lucindo Extractive Marine Reserve (PA, Brazil): Creation Process and Tourism Perspectives ABSTRACT The main objective of the current study was to analyze the participation and involvement of the local community in the process of creation of the Mestre Lucindo Extractive Marine Reserve located in the municipality of Marapanim in the state of Pará (Brazil). The specific objectives were to identify which communities of the Extractive Reserve already work with tourism and to know the expectations of the Reserve users for the future of tourism in this protected area. For the development of this study, surveys and analysis were conducted to provide theoretical and conceptual basis for the research. Field research was conducted involving interviews and application of questionnaires, and also observation of daily lives of two communities. The results indicate that the majority of the people living in the Reserve is unaware that their territory became a protected area, but they relate the protected area creation as an improvement of life quality. Tourism takes place disorganized, however the Reserve has a great touristic potential. But, it lacks proper planning and organization. It is proposed community-based tourism planning in order to value tradicional knwoledge and sustainable activities of local communities.

The institutionalization of the Brazilian Workers’ Party has given rise to new tensions among emerging political actors, historic social movement mediator organizations, and the state. An analysis of the differences in strategies and practices between the Movement in Defense of Renascer and the Prainha Rural Worker’s Movement that emerged during the creation of the Renascer Extractive Reserve in the Lower Amazon highlights the fact that the movement’s emancipatory impulses indicate a break with the politics-as-usual of the union and the Workers’ Party more broadly. An examination of union political discourses and practices that seek to fold these emancipatory impulses back into the dominant logic indicates that the union continues to perform the work of the state—albeit a reconstituted one—both institutionally and effectively. A institucionalização do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) no Brasil tem criado novas tensões entre atores políticos emergentes, organizações mediadoras dos movimentos sociais históricos e o Estado. Uma análise das diferenças entre o Movimento em Defesa do Renascer e o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais da Prainha, na Baixa Amazônia, enfatiza o fato de que os impulsos emancipatórios do movimento indicam um rompimento com os hábitos políticos de sindicatos e do Partido dos Trabalhadores de um modo geral. Um exame dos discursos políticos sindicais e das práticas que buscam a contenção desses impulsos emancipatórios, e tentam restaurá-los à lógica dominante, indica que o sindicato continua a desempenhar o trabalho do Estado—mesmo que reconstituído—tanto institucionalmente quanto efetivamente.

Abstract Trypanosoma comprises flagellates able to infect several mammalian species and is transmitted by several groups of invertebrates. The order Chiroptera can be infected by the subgenera Herpetosoma, Schizotrypanum, Megatrypanum and Trypanozoon. In this study, we described the diversity of bat trypanosomes and inferred phylogenetic relationships among the trypanosomes from bats caught in Tapajós-Arapiuns Extractive Reserve (Resex) in Pará state. Trypanosomes from bats were isolated by means of hemoculture, and the molecular phylogeny was based on the trypanosome barcode (SSUrDNA V7V8 variable region). A total of 111 bats were caught in the area, belonging to three families (Emballonuridae, Molossidae and Phyllostomidae) and 12 species. The bat trypanosome prevalence, as evaluated through hemoculture, was 9% all positive cultures were cryopreserve (100% of isolation success). Phylogenetic trees grouped nine isolates in T. cruzi marinkellei branch and only one in T. dionisii branch. Studies on bat trypanosome diversity are important for identifying pathogenic species and for generating support for control measures, especially in such areas where humans inhabit the forest with close contact with bat species. In addition, this is the first study in Resex Tapajós-Arapiuns extractive reserve and further studies should be conducted to elucidate the role of these parasites as environmental degradation biomarkers.
