(40%) and Miranda (40%). The Park, organised in private areas, incorporates an innovative experience: it was created in 2002 with a proposal of local development. Its differential: the owners? commitment is free, which leads to the existence of discontinuous areas and to practices of diversified economic activities. The Chartre?s premises (The Park?s Letter) will be established by representatives of the regional farmers, the local community, the State and the municipalities involved, the ville portes , compatible with the convention of sustainable development. The model adopted was based on the French natural parks, and this is the first experience outside France. The Park tries to foment economic activities other than the pre-existing cattle raising, but complementary to it: pousadas pantaneiras (Pantanal inns), Pantaneiro veals, park schools; biodiversity with jaguars and with cougars. All of these are connected with tourism, and are compatible with the permanence of men in their place, keeping their habits and their culture in a unique environment. During the elaboration of this thesis, the park was in a delicate situation because the Instituto Parque do Pantanal (Pantanal Park Institute) - its managing institution - was going through a crisis, with difficulties to negotiate its institutionalization process with the relevant actors, aspects which reflected on the Park consolidation. The crisis comes from contradictions and conflicts inherent to the area complexity: environment protection, valorisation of nature and landscape, on the one hand; and its economic appropriation, interests, wishes to modernize traditional culture, on the other. Despite the crisis and difficulties, we stand that the Pantanal Natural Park has enormous potential and was able to integrate, recreate and deal with local development, from the convention of sustainable development and sustainable tourism, reinventing, thus, the Pantanal. / O Parque Natural Regional do Pantanal ? uma ?rea de aproximadamente 1.400.000 hectares, somat?rio das ?reas de fazendas situadas em Mato Grosso do Sul, na plan?cie do Pantanal Mato-Grossense, compreendendo a parte rural dos munic?pios de Aquidauana (80%), Rio Verde de Mato Grosso (50%), Corumb? (40%) e Miranda (40%). O Parque, organizado em ?reas privadas, incorpora uma experi?ncia inovadora: foi criado em 2002 como uma proposta de desenvolvimento local. Sua diferen?a: a ades?o dos propriet?rios ? livre, o que leva ? exist?ncia de ?reas descont?nuas e a pr?ticas de atividades econ?micas diversificadas. As premissas na Charte (Carta do Parque) ser?o estabelecidas por representantes dos fazendeiros da regi?o, da comunidade local, do Estado e das prefeituras da ?rea, as ville portes , compat?veis com a conven??o do desenvolvimento sustent?vel. O modelo adotado baseou-se nos parques naturais franceses e se trata da primeira experi?ncia fora do territ?rio franc?s. O Parque busca fomentar atividades econ?micas distintas da pecu?ria pr?-existente, mas que lhe sejam complementares: as pousadas pantaneiras, as escolas do Parque, o vitelo pantaneiro e a biodiversidade com a on?a-pintada e com a on?a-parda. Todas essas atividades est?o ligadas ao turismo e s?o compat?veis com a perman?ncia do homem no lugar, mantendo seus costumes e sua cultura em um ambiente ?nico. Na fase de elabora??o da tese, o Parque encontrava-se em momento delicado, em virtude de o Instituto do Parque do Pantanal, institui??o que o administra, estar em crise, com dificuldades de negociar, com os atores relevantes, o seu processo de institucionaliza??o, o que se refletia na prec?ria consolida??o do Parque. A crise adv?m de contradi??es e conflitos inerentes ? complexidade da ?rea: prote??o ambiental, valoriza??o da natureza e da paisagem, por um lado; e sua apropria??o econ?mica, anseios de moderniza??o da cultura tradicional e interesses, por outro. A despeito da crise e das dificuldades, sustenta-se que o Parque Natural do Pantanal tem potencial e logrou integrar, recriar e problematizar o desenvolvimento local, a partir da conven??o do desenvolvimento e do turismo sustent?vel, reinventando o Pantanal.
