Resumo
This article examines the intersection of land rights, green labor, and forest carbon in the Brazilian Amazon. It argues that securing land rights for traditional communities, coupled with the promotion of "green labor" practices, can significantly contribute to forest conservation and carbon sequestration. The study focuses on the specific case of the Tenharim/Marmelos Indigenous Land, analyzing how community-based forest management initiatives have not only enhanced local livelihoods but also effectively protected the forest from deforestation and degradation. By linking land rights, sustainable economic activities, and carbon finance mechanisms, the article demonstrates the potential for creating a virtuous cycle that benefits both local communities and the global environment.
