Abstract:
The objective of this work is to understand the social relations involved in the collection and extraction of products from the Amazon rainforest, and to identify the extent to which populations possessing ethnobotanical knowledge are socially integrated. Among other issues, the analysis examines contracts between extraction companies Glaxo Wellcome S.A., Extracta Moléculas Naturais Ltda, and Beraca/Brasmazon – Indústria de Oleaginosas e Produtos da Amazônia, and the involvement of the local community in the collection and extraction of biodiversity products. It is assumed that, although rural, indigenous, and other communities fight for their autonomy and self-determination, in one way or another, these communities establish a flow and exchange with the entire global society and its logic of accumulation, even if this is not the purpose of these groups, nor of the NGOs they guide.
