This study analyses the mobilization experience of two groups of women which practice mangaba extractivism and call themselves pickers. They inhabit restinga areas (sandbanks) and tabuleiros (tablelands) in the Brazilian northeast and fields of the north, where they practice various activities (fishing, handicraft, tourism wage-earning, etc.), which are essential to their family's reproduction. This project's goal is to analyze the mobilization experience of women mangaba fruit pickers in the co

Eucalyptus cropping has been growing in Brazil in the last few years and has become an important alternative for rural areas. With expressive participation in the country's trade balance, it is moved by the demand for paper, cellulose, timber and evergy. Since 2009, Embrapa Satellite Monitoring has carried out research to define efficient sustainability indicators from the assessment of tree and bush flora biodiversity and faunal biodiversity, in addition to proposing forest management actions.
