| dc.description.abstract | This study considers the future of terrestrial life from some important questions about territory and territoriality. The territory is the space appropriated by a group of people who build on its specific ways of living in their social, symbolic, cultural, economic, and political aspects. In this way, territoriality deals with the specific relationship with the space that builds a territory based on collective issues of occupation, use, control, and identification with the biophysical environment. Brazil has divergent understandings about these issues between the State and the different populations in their sociocultural multiplicities. However, large market-regulated properties are privileged and legally treated as consumer goods, purchase, and sale products. In this way, it is impossible to think about a future of life on earth that carries the same legal standards. A legislative review is urgent and necessary, as well as high investments and the implementation of public policies that resume the direct relationship between the valuation given to the space and the environmental knowledge system and the respective technologies of traditional peoples, mainly considering the importance of autonomy in their territories, the decision on the use of natural, political, fiscal and cultural resources, like native peoples, who adopt forms of an everyday use of land and employ a different perspective to that of capital and explore natural resources through the perspective of cosmography, also taking into account ecological ethnicity. | |
