Ilha Verde Community, located in the region Babaculândia (TO), was accused of occupying an Environmental Protection Area (APA), sometimes treated as a Permanent Preservation Area (APP) which would belong to Estreito Dam reservoir (MA). Once the conflict was installed, the community used the following strategies: the visibility of agroecological production, institutional articulations and the construction of a participant cartography. This way, our goal is to analyze the use of participant cartography during the process in order to understand it. The methodological procedures for achieving it was based on training people from the community and the university on the uses of cartography in environmental conflicts, production of data in field work, the confirmation of maps produced by the entities involved as well as the delivery of maps for their use in the legal defense of the community. The cartography showed that the community produced food without pesticides, it did not occupy APP and proposed the recovery of degraded areas. But even so it was removed from the territory due to an improperly occupation area of the reservoir (APA). Keywords: Participatory mapping. Socio-environmental conflicts. Institutional Articles. |
