Repeated cross-sectional study of knowledge and use of wild food plants in the Caatinga of Northeastern Brazil
Wild Food Plants (WFPs) are important for food and cultural security. Despite a global trend of erosion in WFP knowledge, little is known about how people perceive their relationship with these species. This study analyzes how WFP knowledge has changed over time, and how ecological and sociocultural perceptions are associated with current and past consumption, and whether patterns of use abandonment exhibit phylogenetic structure. This repeated c…
Recife Charter – Pathways for the future of ethnobiology
At the 5th International School of Ethnobiology in Recife (4–5 November 2025), researchers from Brazil and around the world gathered in a spirit of collaboration and shared purpose to envision the future of ethnobiology. This document presents the central agreements and commitments from this transformative meeting, affirming the imperative for an ethnobiology that is theoretically robust, socially relevant, and ethically responsible. The Recife C…
Dígame usted, si conoce la molienda’ - A photoethnographic essay on traditional sugar-making practices in Santa Mónica, Tianguistengo, Mexico
Background: The production of pilón from sugarcane is part of the cultural heritage of many communities that preserve their traditions in the artisanal processing of this product. This article aims to document the artisanal pilón production process in the rural community of Santa Mónica. Methods: We conducted participant observation and sequential photographic recording, followed by a categorization of the practices observed. The images were orga…
Effects of socioeconomic and human-modified landscape variables on medicinal species richness at a macroscale: The case of the Caatinga, Brazil
Is Ethnobiologist Training at Risk? Challenges of a Brazilian Graduate Program
The Graduate Program in Ethnobiology and Nature Conservation (PPGEtno, an acronym in Portuguese) was established in 2011 at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE, an acronym in Portuguese) in collaboration with other institutions in Northeast Brazil. PPGEtno addressed the urgent need to train professionals sensitive to biodiversity conservation issues through an interdisciplinary approach that values traditional knowledge and the rela…

Do Gendered Social Roles Drive Knowledge Variation in Local Medical Systems
Can family structure and contact with natural resources influence young people's knowledge about medicinal plants? An approach in the Northeast of Brazil
Gender Influence on Local Botanical Knowledge about Medicinal Plants: A Study in Northeast Brazil
Background: Ethnobotanical studies commonly employ the gender variable to understand how knowledge about medicinal plants is structured. However, most focus specifically on the number of species known among men and women, with limited attention to issues such as collection location, species endemism, and the repertoire of medicinal plants. This study primarily seeks to understand if there are differences in various types of knowledge and in the c…
