Modes of capitalist production and reproduction have determined the degrading conditions of exploitation of natural resources, which, in turn, implies the recognition of reproductive limits of the capitalist system, which demands the recognition of "the environmental issue" and the imperative of creating policies to revert this situation. The objective of this study lies upon the context of these contradictions: the social struggles for the creation of the Resex of the Middle Purus River in order to get access to land property, challenging the capitalist logic of private ownership and of indiscriminate exploitation of the resources of the territory. Besides, it aims to analyze the social struggles for the creation of the Resex of the Middle Purus River, in the Amazonas state, as an alternative to access to land property. We have sought to understand these social struggles from the reality of the movement in its totality, using the historical materialism, as an investigative method. Therefore, it is relevant the historical process of creating this extractive conservation unit, as a means to ensure the maintenance of social reproduction mode of local populations and their stay in the territory. The social struggles waged by the Amazon population have fallen into a set of uncertainties caused by the expansion of the capitalist mode of production. They have arisen from the need of land tenure, as well as to respond to their demands for better living conditions. Also, they are carried out in a change project, as they are associated with a class consciousness and they incorporated the ideological discourse of environmental sustainability, which can be considered as an alternative to the capital which does not deny the ruling order. It is a process of greening of social struggles, associated with the contradictions in the capitalist mode of production. Residents of Resex understand the natural resource conservation process as inherent in its playback mode. They fight for access to public policies and incorporated into their claims the environmental conservation obliquely to demands for land and social rights. They have a way of production and reproduction in fishing and agriculture, based on extraction, with customs associated with their relationship with nature and with the culture of the Amazon region. They are workers that, due to their identities, struggle for land rights and emancipatory autonomy. Public services available to residents do not meet their needs yet, instead it is more of a challenge to stay with the struggle for rights guaranteed in the territory
