| Sumario: | This article reveals and reflects on practices developed by two riverside communities in the Amazon, in the municipality of Porto Velho, Rondônia, and on a university research, teaching and extension project that keeps track of and interacts with these practices. The communities of São Carlos and Cavalcante, like all riverside communities in the Legal Amazon, are under pressure from illegal occupations of public lands, predatory deforestation, mining and other impacts on their nature-related way of life. In addition to these attacks, the two communities are continually unassisted by public policies, in the sense of a lack of accessibility to health services, education and other basic needs. Riverside dwellers demonstrate resilience practices and, together with researchers, they have advanced in conversations that address issues surrounding this adverse situation, translating their understandings into actions with the intent of transforming this situation. |
