Abstract: State intervention in the territories of indigenous people and communities of the Amazon seeks to promote sustainable local development by resolving the problems caused by the expansion of capitalist relations of production, through the adoption of strategies to guarantee populations rights to their territories and access to the natural resources. This research aimed to identify the local impacts of the processes of State intervention triggered by the creation of protected areas and to expand the concepts of polyvalence and pluriactivity as livelihood strategies for (re)adapting households to these interventions by the State. With a qualitative and empirical approach, the results point out that polyvalence of the Amazon peasants is their original strategy to deal with resources potential and ecosystem limitations while pluriactivity has become an adaptation strategy in response to limitations on access to resources imposed by State interventions and their impacts in economic and social dimensions of local livelihoods.
