Abstract

The Amazon is a gigantic region, which if it were a country, would be the sixth largest in the world, with an extension of approximately 7 million square kilometers, with the largest watershed area in the world, the largest reservoir of fresh water existing on the planet Earth, besides also having a gigantic fauna and flora, awaken national and international greed and see in the Amazon region the opportunity to benefit. Thus, the work entitled Amazon: environment, society, quality of life and public policies under discussion aims to reflect on the aspect of the relationship between the environment and sustainable development, quality of life and public policies in and beyond the Amazon territory. For the composition of this work we adopted the methodology of bibliographic research, because we understand that the bibliographic study should be the first step in any type of scientific research. We highlight that the adoption of the methodology is based on the studies of Amazonian authors who research and write from the   Amazon and about the Amazon  important  academic works, which provided new conclusions that highlight the need to implement public policies aimed at sustainable development with quality of life of societies  and that truly meet the local reality.
