Nowadays, there is the commercialization of the nature and the privatization of common use goods, like the water, and vegetable extracts, also. The use of the biodiversity is of the domain of the traditional communities. The protection of the biodiversity through the guarantee of rights to the traditional communities and its territories, is a way of alleviating poverty and promote a fair distribution of wealth. Even though it seems to be modest, the popular access to the biodiversity suggests a new relation with the economy, the resources and the assets of Earth. It's increasingly more needed to exert environmental governance from the perspective of regulating and promoting a new participative management of biodiversity, through the recognition of the collective subjects and their territorialities.porAcesso AbertoBiodiversidadeComunidades tradicionaisConhecimentos tradicionaisTerritorialidadesGestão participativa da biodiversidadeBiodiversityTraditional communitiesTraditional knowledgeTerritorialitiesParticipative management of the biodiversityIniciativas de uso popular e regulação democrática da biodiversidade em meio à crise ambiental para redução da pobreza e promoção da qualidade de vidaInitiatives of people’s use and democratic adjustment of biodiversity for reduction of poverty and promotion of quality of life in the environmental crisisArtigo
