Abstract:
This article analyzes the socio-environmental impact created by ecological restoration projects in Indigenous lands in the Legal Brazilian Amazon. The research intends to better comprehend the positives, such as the recovery of biodiversity, revenue generation and cultural strengthening, but also the negatives like pressuring the territory, governance conflicts and reshaping indigenous culture when engaging with complex projects. Utilizing a qualitative approach, with literature review, databases, geospatial analysis and technical documentation. Results demonstrate that, with proper implementation and active community involvement, reforestation projects can contribute to forest preservation and enhancement of traditional knowledge, while increasing work opportunities and revenue. Concluding that the success of initiative heavily depends on the construction of territorial pacts, respecting community protocols and incorporating indigenous values in the restoration models.
