             abstract = "In the last decades the environmental agenda has percolated in 
                         several aspects of Western Societies, establishing as a priority 
                         issue in businesses and social decisions worldwide regarding 
                         economical developmental and poverty alleviation. Brazilian 
                         environmental programs have influenced several aspects of 
                         policies, especially in regards to conservation laws and norms. As 
                         a changing point, the Rio Summit rearranged research agenda trying 
                         to approximate the dialogue of science with social-economic 
                         demands. Such awareness had an important impact in the Amazonian 
                         development issues, bringing into the spotlight antagonistic views 
                         of external development issues with interest in oil, energy and 
                         transportation versus dispersed regional and local demands, 
                         characterized by a non-organized fashion, but with strong 
                         financial support from international agencies. The developmental/ 
                         conservationism debate has ever since escalated in the Amazon 
                         Region which has been geopolitically reshaped under a framework of 
                         conservation units and indigenous territories against a continuum 
                         of deforestation on public lands pushed forward by an economic 
                         driven agroforestry agenda. Historical human occupation has shaped 
                         the rural areas of Amazonia, especially in the last 100 years. 
                         Under this temporal scale local human populations can be 
                         characterized by its livelihoods and mapped geographically by its 
                         adaptation schemes in the different ecosystems, and its climatic 
                         aspects. Studies of its importance for local and regional economy 
                         has shown as viable strategies under a more eco-friendly economy 
                         with strong ties to pinpointed origin products, and more 
                         sustainable management schemes. Such pattern defies the 
                         large-scale market driven businesses. Complex arrangements and 
                         diverse interests have characterized the tropics as a multitude 
                         action challenge, despite concerns on ancient political and 
                         economic structures which demands nevertheless more inquiry. This 
                         study analyzes recent environmental and agroforesty public 
                         policies in the State of Par{\'a}, Brazilian Amazonia, including 
                         scales and levels of complexity, and how they may help with 
                         regional economic growth.",
