  Putting A Price On The Amazon: The Constitution Of Environmental Payments In Mato Grosso, Descrição: The Amazon basin can potentially function as a carbon capture mechanism large enough to mitigate global warming. Yet, if current rates of deforestation continue, the region might become a source of carbon emissions that could actually accelerate climate change. The proposed project considers a strategy that addresses this scenario following a simple line of reasoning: Amazonian forests will be preserved when they have more monetary value standing than destroyed. This strategy is known as Environmental Payments (EPs): a system that will pay landowners for not cutting down the forests. I will conduct ethnographic research in Mato Grosso, Brazil s most dynamic agro-industrial area and one of the main laboratories for EPs. I will study how politicians, NGO officials, agroindustrial farmers, and plantation workers advance EPs projects through initiatives that, in the near future, will render the environment into terms of CO2 capturing capacities and, based on such capacities, will construct environmental services to be sold in international carbon markets. The project asks: what practices make it possible to measure the environment in monetary terms and what are the cultural and political implications of doing so? My research addresses EPs examining: the practices through which the environment is measured in monetary terms; the social conflicts and struggles that take place around EPs projects; and the relations between EPs and local histories of social domination based on class and race dynamics. This project will contribute to scholarship on the ongoing transformations of the Brazilian Amazon and on the cultural and political implications of neoliberal environmental strategies that are becoming the dominant global response to climate change.. , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: David Rojas - Coordenador., Financiador(es): Cornell University - Bolsa.
