About the Journal

Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente (DMA) is a bilingual, open-access journal from UFPR's Graduate Program in Environment and Development, founded in 2000. Indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus and other databases, DMA has an international reach and is a traditional and highly regarded scientific vehicle in its field in Latin America and Portuguese-speaking countries. The journal's focus is the interdisciplinary discussion of issues at the interface between society and nature, seeking an innovative and critical approach and fostering the dialogue between different areas of knowledge. Its objectives are to publish and widely disseminate original quality articles on socio-environmental issues, aimed at the academic public, but also of interest to readers outside academia, such as government agencies, civil society organizations, social movement entities, and business segments.
