- HYDROELECTRIC PLANTS AND CONSERVATION UNIT IN THE AMAZON Maria Madalena de Aguiar Cavalcante Gean Magalhães da Costa Girlany Valéria Lima da Silva Artur de Souza Moret Ciencias de la Tierra Amazonia Watersheds Conservation Units Hydroelectric Plants The expansion of hydroelectric plants (HEPs) in the Brazilian Amazon region attracts attention because of its several social, economic, and ecological impacts, and because its directly or indirectly affects institutional areas in charge of protecting biodiversity and traditional populations. Among the thirteen interlinked sub-basins of the Amazon river (on the Brazilian border), there are nine hydroelectric plants in operation and an additional seventy five (75) are planned for construction, of which 60 per cent will be built in the Tapajos river basin. The objective of the article is to expose the economic appropriation of this basin, and the social and environmental expropriation taking place in the region. The analysis of these processes requires the spatial mapping of the existing and planned hydroelectric plants and areas officially protected, by hydrological basins. The result points at the confrontation between the developmentalist policies related to the construction of HEPs in the Amazon region and the environmental policies oriented, especially, to protected areas, which shows the social and environmental expropriation happening in this basin. 2021 artículo científico 1984-2201 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=273667617009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273667617009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273667617009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273667617009/273667617009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273667617009/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2736 Mercator - Revista de Geografia da UFC application/pdf Universidade Federal do Ceará Mercator - Revista de Geografia da UFC (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.20
