添加标签 | 总结: | The management of Amazonian forests is currently a challenge that involves native communities and their bioculturality as a biodiversity conservation strategy. Therefore, the present study seeks to contribute to the valuation and rescue of biocultural knowledge that facilitates the conservation of the Tropical Rainforest. For the determination of structural parameters, composition, diversity and floristic similarity, a 20 x 20 m plot was installed in each Shuar farm, in which tree individuals with a DBH ≥ 10 cm and shrub individuals were inventoried. For the characterization of biocultural knowledge, six semi-structured interviews and 76 surveys were designed and applied. The predominant species use categories were food and medicinal, and their production is destined for self-consumption and sale; as for the floristic composition, 46 species were reported of which, 28 are arboreal and 18 are shrubby, the ecologically most important species were: Mauritia flexuosa, Bactris gasipaes, Grias peruviana, Bejaria aestuans and Miconia calvescens, the average Shannon index was 2.68 showing average diversity of woody species, in terms of floristic similarity two ajas presented greater similarity due to the abundance of species. The main cause of loss of biocultural knowledge in the study area was acculturation. These results show that the insertion of the mestizo culture has created patterns of decline of ancestral knowledge; furthermore, the importance of biocultural memory as a tool for the reconstruction of the Shuar culture under the conception of an alternative Shuar Nationality that retakes and co-evolves with its traditions and contributes to the conservation of tropical forests is denoted. |
