Abstract

The main focus of this paper is the examination of the current trends in the Brazilian Amazon that is promoting significant changes in the standards of economic use involving some rain forest products. Overall, these new trends are demonstrating an extensive modernization of economic activities that affect specially the structure and dynamics of organized communities in this region. On the other hand, these trends also affect the linkage of these communities and their respective networks. In many cases, the type of region network is led by industrial companies. The research also indicates that the main sources of this new process are the market increase of products extracted in the Amazonian biodiversity and, besides this, both scale and level of processing. Finally, it approaches another strategic source of modernization, represented by a closer and effective participation of regional scientific research institutions in these new or ‘emerging systems’.
