Costs and Benefits of Floodplain Forest Management by Rural Inhabitants in the Amazon Estuary: A Case Study of Agai Palm Production Anthony B. Anderson and Mdrio Augusto G. Jardim Introduction This chapter is a case study of an economically productive and ecologically sustainable land use that has evolved among traditional inhabitants in the floodplain of the Amazon estuary. These river dwellers ("ribeirinhos"), typically mestizo in ethnicity, constitute a living bridge between indigenous Amerindian knowledge of the natural di- versity and inherent productivity of the Amazon's floodplain resources and the modem world with its more limited view of the economic potential of natural ecosystems. The river dwellers of the Amazon estuary participate in the market economy, and are often mistakenly included in the economically marginal, rural population of lesser-de- veloped countries that recent multi-lateral development programs have sought to advance. What prevailing development programs have failed to consider is how the river dwellers' knowledge of their environment can contribute to a better use of fragile lands in the floodplain. The present case study does not aspire to propose a comprehensive sustainable land-use strategy for the Amazon's floodplain ("varzea"). Rather, it focuses on the economic potential of one important natural resource element in the regional economy, the "aqai" palm (Euterpe oleracea Mart.). We report the findings of a field experiment designed to measure the effects of different management practices utilized by river dwellers on fruit yields in natural stands of aqai. Although mea- surements of the effects of these practices on other floodplain forest
