"The growing pressures for the environmental protection reflected also in Brazil, and forms were created for the protection and the conservation of the environment with the law 9.985 of 2000, that established the National System of Units of Conservation. These units of conservation are divided in indirect and direct use. The first ones are those destined to the integral protection of the natural resources. On the other hand, the direct use ones are those related to sustainable uses. Collection and use, commercially or not, of the natural resources are allowed in the way to guarantee the renewal of the environmental resources and the ecological processes. It is important to bring out that the units of conservation destined for maintainable development allow the presence of traditional populations with their life way based on maintainable systems for the use of the natural resources. This case study is about the Reservation of Maintainable Development of Mamiraua, in the State of Amazon. In 1990 that State created the Ecological Station of Mamiraua, with 1.124.000 hectare in the flooded forests of the Central Amazonian. In 1993, the area was recognized by the RAMSAR Convention, as one of the five in Brazil. The State of Amazon, in anticipation of the elaboration of a federal law, created a new category of protected area, identified as Reservation of Maintainable Development (RDS) and transformed the Ecological Station of Mamiraua, to the first RDS in the state. That politics would be only added to the federal legislation in 2000, with the elaboration of SNUC. To guarantee the sustainability and the environment understanding it was prioritized the community's participation in the administration of the RDS resources, such as: forest, fishing, family agriculture, art, ecotourism and creation of alligators."
