| Sumario: | With the establishment of a protected area in the Pedra Branca massif in 1974, the boundaries and uses of space were redefined, exerting an effect on the agricultural practices established there. This results not only socio-spatial changes, but also the emergence of multiple social identities, and thus, the revaluation of memory and the re-signification of cultural goods. Using bibliographic review, documentary research and interviews, we seek to analyse the cultural assets present in the Pedra Branca State Park against the backdrop of heritage. To this end, we present in historical perspective the notion of natural heritage, which gained prominence in the sphere of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, whose guidelines resonate in Brazil. The resulting analysis is also anchored in the idea of traditional communities, and the cultural values that are built by these groups, from a theoretical approach of memory and territory. Our reflections lead us to the idea of tourism as a strategy for identity recognition, especially in contexts where memories and territories are in dispute, and emerging identities seek to be organized and legitimized. Thus, life ways, memories, trajectories that reside precisely in the set of practices related to nature are being shown in the Maciço da Pedra Branca, contributing to the construction of the natural heritage. |
