Sumario:Although the Amazon is often treated as a unified tropical forest, it is, in fact, a heterogeneous ecosystem of critical importance for the balance of the planet's climate. However, real-life situations prevail, leading to numerous problems stemming from conflicts of interest. The preservation of the Amazon is pivotal, yet the question remains: What should be done with the populations living within this territory? This research aimed to understand how Amazonian populations are flourishing through social learning aimed at innovations in sustainability actions. It was conducted during the conception, implementation, development, and consolidation of the Amazon Project, utilizing the paradigm of interpretative phenomenology and antenarrative methods. Participants were from the Brazilian Amazon, including native inhabitants and migrants from the southern region of Brazil who settled in the area over thirty years ago. The study revealed that “Amazonian populations are thriving through social learning oriented towards innovation in sustainability actions. Through processes of social learning and social innovation, they have managed to migrate from a condition of social vulnerability to a condition in which they are able to settle in the territory, obtain employment and income, and improve their living conditions.” This progression involved learning, capability enhancement, and the promotion of systemic changes in their local context. Such changes fostered strong social interactions, shared practices, achievements, and the engagement of new stakeholders, refining their professional actions. The research concluded that participants developed unique ways of functioning as agro-extractive workers, transforming work into a way of life. These transformations were facilitated by the amalgamation of innovation-oriented social learning in sustainability actions. The antenarratives highlighted that this process is driven by four dimensions: individual, purpose, focus, and change, each encompassing two diametrically opposed poles. Theoretically, this study proposed a novel framework for Innovation-Oriented Social Learning (ISL) in sustainability actions and introduced an approach to social learning theory from an existential ontological perspective, a largely unexplored area in literature. Methodologically, the adoption of thematic analysis with an antenarrative attitude for analyzing ISL stories marked a methodological progression. Practically, the framework offers replicability in diverse contexts and territories facing similar challenges, aiding the survival of Amazonian populations.
