Resumo(s)
Bijagos Archipelago in Guinea-Bissau is at present subject to numerous external
impacts that affect its centuries old balance. Since 1975 Guinean society has been
using its natural resources in an uncontrolled way over the territory and especially in
the coastal area. The archipelago has been increasingly raising interest, most of which
is incompatible with the guarantee for a long-term sustainable development. It has
also displayed a general impoverishment as far as resource preservation is concerned,
due to internal demographic pressure of a population that has doubled since 1981 and
to external pressure related to neighboring migrations and consequent depletion of
non-renewable resources. This article aims to analyze the actions of local and
international NGOs in the preservation and sustainability of the Bijagos Archipelago.
We seek through an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the phenomena that are
configured within the strategies of NGOs, on the assumption that these issues are
articulated in the field of geography and sociology, as well as in politics and
international cooperation. It is proposed new challenges to environmental issues,
especially in a current situation shaken by constant instability internal and external
policies.
