Resumo: This article discusses the disputes between different social actors regarding environmental conservation assignment to categories in one of Brazil's Atlantic Forest conservation units in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. Conflicting values and practices about conservation among representatives of non-governmental (NGOs) entities, local residents, tourism entrepreneurs and public policies have created the social dynamics in which the relation between environmental conservation and leisure emerges as a mediating instance of a model for protected area.
