    Open AccessLara Sartorio Gonçalves, Renck et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2026

    Understanding how traditional and coastal communities perceive and interact with nature is key to promoting inclusive conservation.

Over 2 years of participatory research, including social cartography, photovoice and community mapping workshops, semi‐structured interviews and territorial excursions …

  • Mensagens Locais para uma Agenda Global: Um destaque para os Territórios e Justiça na COP30

    Open AccessLeandra Regina Gonçalves, Renck et al.ARTICLEAmbiente & sociedade2025

    O ambientalismo frequentemente deixa de abordar, e por vezes reproduz, estruturas coloniais que marginalizam povos indígenas e comunidades locais. Essa exclusão histórica reforça a urgência de abordagens decoloniais e inclusivas para enfrentar as crises interconectadas das mudanças climáticas, perda de biodiversidade e degradação oceânica. O protagonismo dessas comunidades, aliado ao reconhecimento de seus sistemas de conhecimento e experiências …

  • Local Messages for a Global Agenda: Highlighting Territories and Justice at COP30

    Open AccessLeandra Regina Gonçalves, Renck et al.ARTICLEAmbiente & sociedade2025

    Environmentalism has often failed to address, and at times has reproduced, colonial structures that marginalize Indigenous and local peoples. This historical exclusion reinforces the need for decolonial and inclusive approaches in addressing the interconnected crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and ocean degradation. The protagonism of Indigenous and local communities, alongside the recognition of their knowledge systems and territorial…

  • Differentiation of Expertise in Local Communities: Insights From Artisanal Fishing Villages in Brazil

    Open AccessRenck, David Ludwig et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2025References: 51

    Indigenous and local expertise have become widely emphasized in debates about environmental conservation and sustainable development. However, the engagement of this knowledge into conservation and sustainable development efforts should avoid assuming that a local community has uniform knowledge or some sort of cultural consensus, unless there is evidence supporting this conclusion. Investigating expertise in local communities offers a relevant w…

  • Transdisciplinary Philosophy of Science: Meeting the Challenge of Indigenous Expertise

    Open AccessDavid Ludwig, C N El-Hani et al.ARTICLEPhilosophy of Science2024Cited by: 3References: 37

    Transdisciplinary research knits together knowledge from diverse epistemic communities in addressing social-environmental challenges, such as biodiversity loss, climate crises, food insecurity, and public health. This article reflects on the roles of philosophy of science in transdisciplinary research while focusing on Indigenous and other subjugated forms of knowledge. We offer a critical assessment of demarcationist approaches in philosophy of …

  • Conhecimento Tradicional e Políticas Públicas: Preenchendo Uma Lacuna Necessária

    Open AccessRenck, Vitor Renck et al.ARTICLEEthnobiology and Conservation2023Cited by: 2References: 10

    No Brasil, a formulação da política de defeso não leva em conta o conhecimento tradicional, que é, via de regra, marginalizado e não reconhecido perante às políticas públicas que as atingem. Nesse sentido, encontramos uma marcada incompatibilidade entre o conhecimento de pescadores artesanais do estuário do rio Itapicuru, norte da Bahia, sobre o período reprodutivo de alguns animais marinhos, e seus atuais defesos. Levando-se em conta esse tipo d…

  • Taking fishers' knowledge and its implications to fisheries policy seriously

    Open AccessRenck, Vitor Renck et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2023Cited by: 5

    Sustainable fishing is one of the most pressing challenges for mankind and requires insightful knowledge of the drivers that may foster or hinder predatory exploitation. It has been widely recognized that Indigenous and local knowledge can contribute to biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of resources, such as fisheries, worldwide. Nevertheless such knowledge continues to be marginalized and unacknowledged by a range of academic scienti…

  • Cultural consensus and intracultural diversity in ethnotaxonomy: Lessons from a fishing community in Northeast Brazil

    Open AccessRenck, Vitor Renck et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology and…2022Cited by: 7References: 33

    BackgroundTraditional fishing communities are strongholds of ethnobiological knowledge but establishing to what degree they harbor cultural consensus about different aspects of this knowledge has been a challenge in many ethnobiological studies.MethodsWe conducted an ethnobiological study in an artisanal fishing community in northeast Brazil, where we interviewed 91 community members (49 men and 42 women) with different type of activities (fisher…

  • O Processo De Restauração Florestal Entre Os Guarani-Nhandewa Da Terra Indígena Laranjinha (Santa Amélia, Pr)

    Open AccessRenck, Vitor Renck Maciel et al.ARTICLEEspaço Ameríndio2014

    A Terra Indígena Laranjinha, habitada pela etnia Guarani Nhandewa, no norte do Paraná, foi submetida, a partir dos anos 50, a uma intensa destruição de seus recursos naturais para exploração madeireira e abertura de áreas agrícolas e de pastagens. No entanto, a comunidade decidiu, a partir do final da década de 1990, realizar um manejo de determinadas áreas para fins de restauração de florestas nativas. Com um controle rigoroso do fogo, começaram…
