Public policies for RESEXs (over the last three decades) continue to not ignore the social needs
and environmental goals. Economic Sociology explains the actions of actors within markets, in
which individual behavior influences the collective, whether in the insertion of livestock rearing
or in the removal of wood, productive diversity and so on. The literature reveals an inefficiency
of RESEXs as a development model that guarantees environmental conservation and social
development. The research supports the thesis that environmental priority, low investments and
devaluation of residents promote high socioeconomic demands, leading to environmental
instability and unsustainability of RESEXs in the Amazon. For this, a study was conducted on
the association between variables: policy inefficiency, management, control and allocation of
financial resources in three RESEXs located in the Brazilian Amazon. The Prism Model was
used to identify, select and include the published works on the subject in national and
international databases, and, subsequenthy, a survey (semi-open questionnaire) with residents
from three Amazon RESEXs located in the State of Acre, Amapá and Rondônia. We
interviewed 232 residents and 12 environmental analysts from ICMBio. The results revealed
that RESEXs are unsustainable because they were created with an emphasis on biological
conservation and not to develop their residents in a sustainable way. The management model
of state institutions is inefficient and there are no trusts that ensure biological stability. The
thesis here is that local populations exploit the forest to meet biological, economic and social
needs and, therefore, do not consider environmental conservation as a priority, thus leadmy to
the unsustainability of RESEXs at Amazon.
