Abstract

This article examines the socio-ecological dynamics of power around the Amazon Rainforest. It is necessary to highlight the factors of deforestation, the geophysical effects of forest destruction, as well as the political and social processes which could alter or reorientate the current dynamics, which is why the article redefines the concept of Environmental Commons. The Amazon Rainforest is a perfect case study to think the fundamental changes – as far as political anthropology is concerned – induced by the Anthropocene.
