Abstract

During the World Bioeconomy Forum, which took place from October 18 to 20, 2021, in Belém do Pará, at the height of the health disaster caused by COVID-19, indigenous peoples, quilombolas, extractivists, riverside communities, peasants, babassu coconut breakers, artisanal fishermen and shellfish gatherers, represented by their movements and social organizations, entered Estação das Docas, the event venue, waving their banners of struggle and shouting protests against the formats that had been designed so far for access to sociobiodiversity by companies, large corporations and the lack of dialogue. The leaders were only able to access the premises, which were under the surveillance of armed men, after much negotiation and heated confrontations. The episode in question is an excerpt that demonstrates the level of disregard for the social participation of those who are the guardians and experts of sociobiodiversity.
