description The paper addresses two fieldwork carried out in Terra do Meio, a mosaic of protected areas located in the watershed of the Xingu River, in the state of Pará. This work is part of a doctoral process that aimed to analyze, in particular, the impacts of the Belo Monte hydroelectric plant, from the riverside perspective of the extractive reserves of Iriri, Xingu and Riozinho do Anfrísio. The main goal of this paper is to discuss challenges for scientific research in the Amazon region based on the experience of two field works carried out in conservation units in a region marked by contradictions, disputes, conflicts and a complex territorial experience. This is a qualitative and interdisciplinary research that involves both ethnographic methods, as well as participant observation, semi-structured interviews and different techniques of mapping and field research. Finally, this paper analyzes the challenges for research in an area marked by contradictions, disputes and conflicts with remarkable territorial complexity.
