SUMMARY:

The Amazon region, known for its great diversity of species and cultures, is involved in issues
such as territorial policies fundamental to nature conservation and economic development. The
overall objective of the study is to demonstrate the areas of conflict and tension in hydroelectric
plants (planned and in operation) and in protected areas (conservation units and indigenous
lands). As a specific objective: (I) Identify the redefinitions of limits in the conservation units
resulting from the implementation of hydroelectric plants; (II) Verify the conflict areas between
protected areas and hydroelectric plants; (III) map and show the areas between hydroelectric
plants and protected areas. The results indicate that two units that two Conservation Units —
CUs had their limits expanded, while ten other CUs had their limits reduced and two CUs were
excluded by hydroelectric plants (operation / planned). 226 protected areas were identified
within a radius of 40 km of the 75 hydroelectric plants planned in the study area. In this
situation, hydroelectric plants emerge as part of a strategy whose objective is to dominate and
exploit the territory and natural resources.
