Abstract

Conflicts are inherent to the human condition, whether individual or social. Conflicts occur by environmental dispute or disagreement relating to the exploitation of natural resources. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the environmental conflicts existing in the communities of Cavacos, Campo Redondo and Bredos, Boqueirão-PB, which live on the banks of the dam Epitácio Pessoa within APP (Permanent Preservation Area). They are communities that live from agriculture and are forced to leave areas demarcated by public DNOCS (National Department of Works Against Drought) and IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Natural Resources). The research was carried out in situ with semi-structured interviews. It was noted the existence of conflict by breaking the Law (Forest Code 4.771/65  "as amended by Law 7.803/89").

Keywords: conservation area, conflicts, agriculture.
