Casos brasileiros de Restauração Socioinovadora de Paisagens

ABSTRACT The current trends in relationships between society and nature point to an unfavorable scenario for quality human life on Earth. In the political dispute to build solutions, an increasing number of people are organizing to face the neo-populist wave that is gaining power and leading to a neo-centralizing agenda. Some social movements, socio-environmental projects, and civil society organizations have found a way to respond constructively to this environment of conflict and resistance. By promoting socio-ecological innovations, they shares knowledge and practices, enabling new social relations that place the local community as the protagonist of a rural development design where natural capital takes center stage. In this article, we explore three case studies from the perspective of Socio-innovative Restoration of Forest Landscapes, seeking to understand the determining factors for the emergence and development of this process.
