Resumo(s)
The Archipelago of Bijagos in Guinea-Bissau is currently subject to numerous external
impacts affecting their secular equilibrium. The islands were never contemplated by
the colonial development, with the exception of two modest ports in Bubaque and
Bolama. The latter place was the capital of the country from 1913 to 1941. The
archipelago has attracted increasing interest on the part of economic agents, most of
which are incompatible with the guarantee of sustainable development. There has
been a general impoverishment as regards the preservation of marine resources,
particularly with regard to the internal demographic pressure from a population that
has doubled since 1981 and due to other external factors related to the neighboring
and subsequent migration depletion of resources not renewable. The article analyzes
the main vulnerabilities that the archipelago is currently facing and how natural
resources have been preserved. The article follows an interdisciplinary approach
between different areas of knowledge especially in projects involving both different
academic fields (biology, ecology, geography, anthropology and history), for the non-scientific practices that include actors and institutions.
