1 INTRODUCTION

This work seeks an analysis about the involvement of family farmers in actions to restore

ecosystems in the Zona da Mata Rondoniense, specifically in the sub-basin of the Palha

river, which covers part of the territories of Rolim de Moura, Castanheiras and Novo

Horizonte do Oeste. Localized at the south center of the state of Rondônia, being an

important source of the region, both for supplying urban areas and for the development

of agricultural activities that propel the local economy. The process of rural occupation in

the region led to the deforestation of more than 85% of the original forest area between

the 1970 and 2010.

2 METHODOLOGY

In the study was used as a methodological tool the Collective Subject Discourse

supported by DSCSoft 1.1.0.0 software. Answers of 26 farmers interviewed using open

questions seeking to understand four dimensions were analyzed: a) understanding and

sense of family farmers in relation to its surroundings and the environment; b)

understanding of ethnoecological dimensions in the recovery process of degraded

areas; c) development of innovative strategies to promote adherence to the recovery

programs of degraded areas from the experiences of family farmers; d) evaluation of

reforestation processes areas in rural properties.

4 RESULTS

The analysis resulted in 13 central ideas. Issues related to the environment appear as

Central Ideas in the speech of farmers in all dimensions addressed showing that farmers

can carry traces of the peasantry, which has the countryside not only a space for

production and income generation, but also as a way of life in close relationship with the

natural environment, factors that contribute significantly to the ecosystem restoration

processes.

4 CONCLUSION

We verified that family farmers can carry traces of peasantry, having the countryside not only

as a space for production and income generation but also as a way of life in close relationship

with the natural environment. This perception contributes significantly to the success of

ecological restoration interventions.
