Abstract

This paper aims to understand the role of the catholic priest João 30 as a conflict mediator. The priest is a representative of Pastoral dos Pescadores of Cananéia, São Paulo (Brazil) and mediated the problems between Ilha do Cardoso State Park (PEIC) and the traditional communities that already lived in the territory before the Park creation. The work is based on Political Ecology and applied: a content analysis of the PEIC Management Council minutes, interviews with members of the “caiçara” communities in Ilha do Cardoso and a blog dedicated to the priest trajectory. The results disclose the priest’s articulation of the community demands and reveal his interest in nature conservation. The category “conflict mediation” is considered a relevant device in Political Ecology.
