The maroon communities keep alive, even today, centenary practices brought by their ancestors from Africa. These practices, besides cultural, relate to the religiosity , politics and forms of production, involving agricultural techniques, forms of soil management, planting forms, becoming in an intimate relationship of these communities with the environment in which they are inserted, starting from the development of conservationist techniques and rational use of natural resources, thus ensuring the maintenance of biodiversity for the benefit of future generations. Their achievements had passed automatically for a period of democratization of the country in which the black movement and leaderships of Quilombolas communities had intensified the fight for rights that would guarantee citizenship to these communities.
