Abstract

The Extractive Reserves model (RESEX) has been an instrument used to recognize the particular rights and ways of the "human" to "be" and "live" their social, cultural, political and economic relations in a given space and time, considering social and environmental sustainability. The present article analyzes, through the social reproduction of two communities of extractivists, the empirical replication of an "Extractive Reserve" mode of spatial planning and development. In this perspective, the expectations of young people living in the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve (RECM) are investigated on the future of their extractive settings and their life projects. The results point to trends and scenarios of the social reproduction of these communities, the patterns of production of the inhabited space and reflections on the implementation of the Extractive Reserves model.
