Biodiversity loss is a matter of great concern, particularly in the Amazon region with its diversity of aquatic life. Uncontrolled exploitation of the floodplain (Várzea) is leading to its gradual deterioration. As Brazilian fisheries and environmental legislation has not proved adequate in conserving the aquatic resources, civil society developed its own measures, a good example of which was the IARA Project, which promotes participatory management in the middle Amazon. This paper sets out the experiences of this project, lessons learned, proposals for the future, and the active involvement of the sector’s main government agency, IBAMA, in supporting participatory management.
