SUMMARY:

This thesis investigates the importance of recognizing and protecting indigenous peoples' Sacred Natural Sites (SNS) for the conservation of sociobiodiversity and the guarantee of biocultural rights. The research focuses on the Isã Vakevu village, located in the Nukini Indigenous Land, in the State of Acre, Brazil, and analyzes how the safeguarding of their sacred spaces contributes to the conservation of sociobiodiversity. The research is inserted in the context of the global environmental crisis, seeking to fill the gap in the recognition and legal protection of indigenous peoples' SNS. The study addresses the profound spiritual and cultural significance of these sacred places, essential for the maintenance of indigenous peoples' culture and spirituality, in addition to their importance for the conservation of biodiversity. The methodology used is qualitative, combining bibliographic review, documentary analysis and case studies. International and national documents were analyzed, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the Federal Constitution of 1988, in addition to laws, decrees, ordinances and resolutions, which form the legal framework of the research. The case study of the Isã Vakevu village, in the Nukini Indigenous Land, is based on the final course work of spiritual leader Leonardo Muniz de Oliveira, entitled "Memorial of a shaman apprentice at the University: reports of academic and spiritual learning in the strengthening of the Nukini culture". The impossibility of carrying out fieldwork during the pandemic highlights the importance of using alternative sources for the production of knowledge. The thesis is structured in seven chapters, which explore the context of the environmental crisis, the legal framework for the rights of indigenous peoples, the concept of SNS, the international and national legal framework, biocultural rights, the relationship between Indigenous Lands and Conservation Units in Brazil, and the case study of the Isã Vakevu village in the Nukini Indigenous Land. The research concludes that the Nukini Indigenous Territory can be considered a sacred natural site, highlighting the connection with ancestral knowledge, the presence of spiritual ceremony sites, such as the Kupixawa Huhu Inesto, the sacredness of natural elements, and the worldview of the Nukini people. The thesis reinforces the need to protect sacred sites as fundamental elements of the cultural and spiritual identity of indigenous peoples.
