| Summary: | The performance of industry cellulose producer in Espírito Santo is accompanied by many conflicts and protests from community leaders and trade unions, social movements, NGOs, etc. These sectors claim they are facing social and environmental problems caused by such industry since it was introduced in the state. Among these problems there are, for example, the expulsion of peasants and traditional peoples as indigenous and quilombolas of their lands, changes in job availability in the countryside; destruction of the Atlantic Forest; contamination of rivers and streams by pesticides and industrial waste and homogenization of landscape. Thus, this paper aims at reflecting on the perception of peasants integrated to cellulose and paper industry on the changes in the environment where they live and work, considering the expansion of eucalyptus cultivation to the activities of this segment. |
