Conteúdo: | This paper provides a case study of forest management by rural inhabitants (caboclos) in the floodplain of the Amazon estuary. The relatively low biological diversity and hogh concentration of economic tree species make these forests amenable to so-called `tolerant' forms of management, in which the native vegetation is largely conserved or reconstituted through successional processes. Rural inhabitants implement tolerant forms of forest management by selective weeding or thinning of less desirable competitors, and by promoting the regeneration or productivity of desirable species. Many of the latter are rarely planted due to their natural abundance in floodplain forests (e.g. Euterpe oleracea, Hevea brasiliensis, Carapa guianensis, Spondias mombin). As a re-sult, forest stands in which virtually all species are useful can be generated or maintained with minimal effort. This form of land-use illustrates how extraction and forest management can be reconciled in ways that minimize risk and maximize sustainability.
