| Resumo: | This paper presents an approach on the process of occupation and colonization of Southwestern Paraná. Occupied by the displacement of internal migration flows, which occurred between 1940 and 1960, the region that concentrated the largest Araucaria forest on the planet was profoundly transformed by government action, by real estate companies and the squatter settlers. Litigious actions between the state government and Union prevented the drafting of the deed of lots and the settlers became squatters. Deforestation became the settlers' strategy to delimit their possession. As a result, studies show that 80% of the vast pine forest turned into ashes. Thus, the Environmental History of Southwestern Paraná has direct elements of government policy and human action related to land ownership. |
