Ecología y globalización: evaluación y reseña de algunos impactos causados en la Amazonía

Abstract

I aim at showing some geographical, ethnographic and environmental data concerning the changes in landscape, culture and economy in the Amazonía. I’m taking into consideration the ethnic minorities own criteria and how they manage their resources as opposed to the model imposed by colonizers, model encouraged by the cultural patters of the State and the national society. Impacts against environment and people are particularly assessed.
