Resumo: | This article is about the work of the Brazilian agronomist and environmentalist José Lutzenberger in the protection of Amazon rainforest in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Lutzenberger has participated in national and international conferences, denounced the Brazilian government projects in the media and formulated hard criticisms of the forest devastation and its people. In his international performance, through lectures and events, he was able to diffused the Gaia theory, which would come to support his ecological conception, and in the 1990s he was invited by that time President Fernando Collor to assume the position of the National Secretariat of Environment, through which he worked in defense of the Amazon and indigenous people. Between 1970 and 1990, the Amazon began to receive increasingly prominence in conferences on environment and in the international press, becoming a topic of global concern, alongside climate changes and the ozone layer. Through Historical Biography and Environmental History, we analyze the path of José Lutzenberger, a global performer in this context, whose performance is our guiding thread for addressing the main struggles undertaken by Brazilian environmental movements and of other countries in defense of the great forest. |

Lutzenberger participou de conferências nacionais e internacionais, denunciou projetos do governo brasileiro na mídia e formulou críticas duras à devastação da floresta e seus povos. Em sua militância internacional, por meio de palestras e eventos, difundiu a teoria da Gaia, um dos fundamentos de sua concepção ecológica, e nos anos 1990 foi convidado pelo então presidente Fernando Collor para assumir a Secretaria Nacional do Meio Ambiente, por meio da qual trabalhou na defesa da Amazônia e dos povos indígenas. Entre 1970 e 1990, a Amazônia passa a receber destaque cada vez maior em conferências sobre meio ambiente e na imprensa internacional, tornando-se temática de preocupação global, ao lado das mudanças climáticas e da camada de ozônio. Através da Biografia Histórica e da História Ambiental, analisamos a trajetória de José Lutzenberger, um ator global nesse contexto, cuja atuação é nosso fio condutor para a abordagem das principais lutas empreendidas pelos movimentos ambientalistas brasileiros e de outros países em defesa da grande floresta.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-11-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/article/view/3780210.15448/2178-3748.2020.2.37802Oficina do Historiador; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2020); e37802Oficina do Historiador; Vol. 13 Núm. 2 (2020); e37802Oficina do Historiador; v. 13 n. 2 (2020); e378022178-374810.15448/2178-3748.2020.2reponame:Oficina do Historiadorinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/article/view/37802/26351Copyright (c) 2020 Oficina do Historiadorhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Elenita MaltaFiuza, Denis HenriqueFritz, Sara Rocha2020-12-21T18:21:59Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/37802Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriadorPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/oai||tatyana.maia@pucrs.br2178-37482178-3748opendoar:2020-12-21T18:21:59Oficina do Historiador - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |
