Abstract

To understand the strategies for conservation the Valha-me-Deus and Chaves Islands, both located at Juruti/PA, was the mais objective of this study. For that, there were made analysis about the environmental sistem of the islands, in their eco-bio-socio-cultural aspects. The concepts of autopoiese, organization, sustainability and adaptability were the theorical references to comprehend the strategic actions of autopoiese’s conservation from cultivators women at local agroecosystems. The research followed the study of multiple cases’ model, epistemologically based on the dialetic paradigm of the systemic complexity. There were used informal interviews, with previous script and stories of life. Beyond the systemic observation about the environmental system of the Islands, from March 2013 to May 2015. The transcript data indicated limitations to preserve the autopiese at the studied Islands, both to the human beings and the environmental backgrounds, as the fauna and the flora. Among the limitations are the most recent climate changes, that generates extreme floods at the varzeas, affecting the productive units. The fragilities found at the public agricultural and social politics leave the farmers at their own luck, showing the capital move to mobilizate the larbor force, in the search of financial conditions at the cities, introdution of large animals, the water buffaloes at the Valha-me-Deus Island, resulting in big environmental loses. The data indicates losses and ressignification in the way of life, with new archetypes, rules and doctrines imposed by the State and the Church, reflecting at the familiar relations, losing its culturals collections that were rebuilt over generations. As resistance strategy to the maintenance of their productive units, the cultivators have been trying to develop several activities, that generates monetary income, featuring the pluri-activity, specially at the Valha-me-Deus Island. The autopoiese’s conservation of the cultivators from the Island are kept, between the states of order and disorder unleashed by the economic, social and environmental interferences, promoting steadily a cultural reconstruction. In that, some knowledge of themselves and of the environmental system are lost, endangering the Islands sustainability.
