Anthropology's contribution to issues related to the Environment-Development binomial.

Abstract

The Contribution of Anthropology to issues related to the Environment-Development binomial has been growing in the last decades, mainly after Brazil acceded to Convention No. 168 of the International Labor Organization, which legitimizes the right of populations representing traditional communities to be consulted, and also , to be active parts of any process that involves environmental changes in territories occupied by these populations. In this context, the role of the anthropologist is of greater importance: for questioning this model of development and providing the traditional populations with voice in this political arena. This text seeks to dialogue with historical facts and texts in the post-war period (after 1945) when humanity realized that the concepts and paradigms related to development policies needed revision until the beginning of the 21st century.
