Vanishing Treasures: Climate Change Steals Amazonian Coastal Livelihoods—A Cry from the Frontlines of Marajó Island

ABSTRACT Coastal regions provide vital socio‐ecological benefits, but climate change disrupts these resources. In the Soure Marine Extractive Reserve, eastern Amazon, communities closely tied to the coastal environment hold extensive knowledge of local dynamics. This study examined perceptions of declining resource provision through questionnaires on comfort, well‐being, and fishing, timber, and non‐timber resources. Results show strong agreement that climate change negatively impacts these aspects, with younger and urban‐near residents most concerned. Findings support public policy and dialogue between scientific and traditional knowledge.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Coastal regions provide vital socio‐ecological benefits, but climate change disrupts these resources. In the Soure Marine Extractive Reserve, eastern Amazon, communities closely tied to the coastal environment hold extensive knowledge of local dynamics. This study examined perceptions of declining resource provision through questionnaires on comfort, well‐being, and fishing, timber, and non‐timber resources. Results show strong agreement that climate change negatively impacts these aspects, with younger and urban‐near residents most concerned. Findings support public policy and dialogue between scientific and traditional knowledge.
