SANTOS, Audri Silva dos    HERNANDEZ, Aline Reis Calvo. Consciousness and political participation in councils that manage conservation units: adversities and strengths. []. , 21, 50, pp.57-73. ISSN 2175-1390.

ABSTRACT The article is an excerpt from the research conducted in the scope of the Master in Environment and Sustainability of Rio Grande do Sul's State University (UERGS). It is a study that aimed to analyze the adversities and power relations as dimensions of consciousness and political participation in the Councils that manage the Environmental Protection Area Rota do Sol and the Aratinga State Ecological Station, region in Campos de Cima da Serra, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The analyses were based on the seven dimensions of the Political Consciousness Model (Sandoval, 1989, 1994, 2001, 2016) through the elaboration of Spoken Maps with the councilors. Despite the focus on articulating the functioning of conservation and protection units for local biodiversity, effective political action is established as a reflection of the political game, where the perception of adversity is essential to the elaboration of projects and networking.
