The Amazonas (state, Brazil) is now facing a sharp increase of your cattle. Because it contains a lot of land in its territory to conservation purposes there is a need to think about land use, since the existence in the same space for different purposes that require use of natural resources. To understand the effects of livestock on protected areas is necessary to understand its dynamics when developed on or near these areas. This paper aims to analyze the type of livestock developed in the Sustainable Development Reserve (RDS) Uatumã (AM). In RDS, the livestock sector is marked by low indices. Management techniques are not developed due to lack of funding and support for the rural extension. Except for vaccination against FMD, any support or encouragement is given to them. The spatial arrangement of the activity is defined largely by the grazing areas. The activity depends on the family structure and level of capitalization of the producer. After creating the RDS costs of labor relations have been profoundly altered. The relationship that the government has with the residents of protect area has been more emphasis on repression, prohibition and regulation, and offers few alternatives to substitute activities prohibited by the establishment of the Reserve.
