Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze the conflicts that occur within the conservation unit (UC), in the Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses (PNLM) in the city of Barreirinhas in the state of Maranhão, taking as a basis for this analysis communities that are within the perimeter of the park, among which, the community Tratada de Cima was the focus of this research, to understand how the socio-environmental conflicts that the residents of this locality face with the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) occur, and to understand the difficulties faced by them in the face of impediments and sanctions imposed, which compromises the life and way these places live, since their survival comes from raising small animals for their own consumption in addition to cultivating crops and producing handicrafts. In addition, other difficulties are faced by peasants within the park, such as access to health, education, drinking water, electricity and housing, goods that should be guaranteed to everyone, but which in these places is still not part of the reality of everyone who lives there. within the perimeter of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park
