The municipality of Envira is a portion of the Amazon region in the southwest of Amazonas, an area that presents a territorial tension between the dynamics of agricultural expansion and the land mosaic that aims to contain them. Furthermore, the municipal headquarters is characterized by being an empirical locus of socio-environmental aspects in the riverside urban should mode. The present work aims to verify, based on remote sensing on the municipal unit and field work at the headquarters, the changes in land use and coverage with an emphasis on deforestation in Envira, under the time frame from 1985 to 2019, relating the process with the influences of social actions, such as agriculture, livestock, wood extraction, etc. The information collected is based on bibliographical surveys; secondary data information was collected from the Amazon Deforestation Calculation Program (PRODES) to spatialize deforestation; and the Mapbiomas Project survey of the Amazon biome to consider land use. From the results, it appears that the Tarauacá Cacau Indigenous Land presents itself as an important territorial unit for the preservation of the landscape and its naturais aspects. The main vector of landscape expansion, from the urban centrality of Envira, is towards the south, linked to agricultural exploration. In the historical series discussed, livestock farming proved to be the main economic activity that conditions the change in the local landscape. The city of Envira is characterized by a cyclical-ecological temporality integrated with the urban system.
