  • Reviving the use of plant dyes for sisal (Agave sisalana) fibres in a Brazilian artisan community

    Open AccessMaria Cristina Teixeira Braga Messias, Maria Auxiliadora DrumondARTICLESustainability in Debate2026

    Sisal fibre handicrafts, common in tropical regions, traditionally relied on plant-based dyes. However, these have largely been replaced by synthetic dyes, contributing to the loss of traditional knowledge.This study aimed to document plant species historically used to dye sisal and assess the potential forreintroducing natural dyes in a Brazilian artisan community. An ethnobotanical study was conducted through interviews and participatory dyeing…

  • Local Ecological Knowledge on the Natural History and Human-Fauna Relationships of the Brazilian Three-banded Armadillo (Tolypeutes tricinctus) in Northeast Brazil

    Open AccessRodolfo Assis Magalhães, Rodolfo Magalhães et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2024References: 55

    Local ecological knowledge (LEK) can be a valuable source of information about species' biology and their conservation, especially for threatened and poorly known species, such as the Brazilian three-banded armadillo ( Tolypeutes tricinctus). Here, we gathered information about the natural history and human-fauna relationships of T. tricinctus based on the LEK of residents from a rural community in northeast Brazil, where a population of T. trici…

    Open AccessDaniel Cangussu, Laura Pereira Furquim et al.ARTICLERevista Habitus - Revista do…2022References: 1

    Na década de 1980, como política pública de Estado, instituiu-se um método investigativo de campo destinado a qualificar as ações de localização e monitoramento dos povos indígenas isolados da Amazônia. Tal método visa garantir a estes povos o direito originário aos seus territórios, sem desrespeitar sua decisão pelo isolamento. Qualificar este método a partir dos saberes e perspectivas nativas tem sido o objetivo de pesquisadores e pesquisadoras…

  • Do mel ao arco das cinzas

    Open AccessDaniel Cangussu, Renata Otto Diniz et al.ARTICLERevista Brasileira de Linguística…2022References: 12

    As fronteiras do leste e sudoeste amazônico têm sido palco de intenso processo de desmatamento e grilagem de terras públicas, onde, via a utilização do fogo, é realizada a conversão sistemática de florestas em monoculturas e pastagens para o gado. Neste contexto, os solos vão sendo envenenados pela (des) regulamentação do uso de agrotóxicos e rios e igarapés vão desaparecendo mais rapidamente. Com o extermínio dos polinizadores, logo todos os sis…

  • Collapse of national protected areas in Brazil

    Open AccessMatteus Carvalho Ferreira, Lucas Neves Perillo et al.ARTICLEPARKS2020

    Historically, Brazil has played a prominent role as a member of the Convention on Biological Diversity and as a signatory to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and several other international environmental agreements. Aiming to evaluate the management of investment in protected areas during the past 12 years, we have analysed the annual budgets of National Protected Areas located in Minas Gerais. This state comprises three different biomes, in…

    This study aimed to investigate the environmental impacts generated by the hydroelectric complex in the Madeira River, Brazilian Amazon, based on the perceptions of local fishers and fishery database, it focus attention on three main impacts: (i) on local fishery stocks; (ii) in fish fauna and (iii) on the aquatic ecosystems. The local fishers were selected through the "snowball" approach for the application of semi-structured interviews. All the…

  • Evaluating conservation threats to reservoirs in the semiarid region of Brazil using the perception of residents

    Open AccessEvaldo De Lira Azevêdo, Maria Auxiliadora Drumond et al.ARTICLEEthnobiology and Conservation2020Cited by: 1References: 45

    Conservation and management strategies must be holistic, and therefore must guarantee the participation of local communities in the processes of identifying threats. Our study sought to identify the principal threats to reservoir conservation in the semiarid region of Brazil based on the perception of residents, and develop a conceptual model with the main threats to be used as a basis for orienting conservation measures. The study was undertaken…
