  • Corporations and financial institutions driving coastal conflicts involving Indigenous Peoples

    Open AccessVillasante, Julia Tovar Verba et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2026

    Socio-environmental conflicts associated with large-scale economic projects in Indigenous territories are well documented, but conflicts in coastal areas remain largely unexplored, despite the crucial differences between inland and coastal ecosystems. While the empirical literature about socio-environmental conflicts in Indigenous territories in coastal areas is growing, the role of financial institutions and corporations in these conflicts is of…

  • Assessing and improving social equity in marine conservation

    Open AccessMark Andrachuk, Nathan J Bennett et al.ARTICLEPARKS2025

    Social equity is increasingly recognised as a fundamental principle in marine conservation. Global conservation policies now contain commitments to equitable management and governance, yet practical guidance on how to understand and assess equity in marine conservation remains limited. In this methodological paper, we introduce our process for developing three conceptually grounded, practical and adaptable approaches for assessing equity in marin…

  • Vetores de pressão sobre a unidade de conservação de proteção integral

    Open AccessPriscila F M Lopes, Priscila Lopes et al.ARTICLERevista Eletrônica Casa de…2023

    A Estação Ecológica do Pecém foi criada para proporcionar o equilíbrio ecológico do ecossistema de dunas móveis e edafisadas, que compõem as áreas próximas à construção do Complexo Portuário Industrial do Pecém (CIPP). Ela está situada nos municípios de Caucaia e São Gonçalo do Amarante e se constitui em uma Unidade de Conservação de Proteção Integral, possuindo inúmeras limitações em seu uso devido à legislação pertinente. Porém, devido ao conte…

  • Food Biodiversity as an Opportunity to Address the Challenge of Improving Human Diets and Food Security

    Open AccessM C M Jacob, Michelle Jacob et al.ARTICLEEthnobiology and Conservation2023Citada por: 1Referências: 51

    Scientists have warned for several years that food systems have become major drivers of environmental degradation, malnutrition, and food insecurity. In this paper, we present arguments from specialists that suggest that, in the transition to more sustainable food systems, biodiversity and food security can be mutually supportive, rather than conflicting goals. We have divided the opinions of these scientists into two "Big Topics". First, they ex…

  • Capuchinmonkeyson Social Media

    Vitória Fernandes Nunes, Priscila F M Lopes et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2023Citada por: 2Referências: 63

    There remains a debate as to whether the display of wild animals in popular media, such as the Internet, contributes toward or erodes conservation behavior. A good model to assess these impacts are capuchin monkeys (genera Cebus and Sapajus), given that they have historically been traded as pets internationally and are among Hollywood’s most famous primate actors. We used crowdsourcing tools to survey social media posts (YouTube and Instagram) an…

  • A Mulher E a Pesca

    Open AccessPriscila F M Lopes, Carolina T Freitas et al.ARTICLEEthnoscientia - Brazilian Journal…2020

    As mulheres pescadoras lidam historicamente com a falta de reconhecimento de suas atividades, o que tem implicações socioeconômicas (e.g., falta de remuneração por seu trabalho) e de saúde (e.g.: falta de reconhecimento de suas doenças trabalhistas). Através de uma revisão da literatura, aqui avaliamos eventuais mudanças neste cenário para as pescadoras brasileiras, incluindo o seu reconhecimento na literatura científica. Encontramos que, nas últ…

  • Co‐management of culturally important species

    Open AccessCarolina T Freitas, Priscila F M Lopes et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2020

    Co‐management has been advocated as an effective tool to achieve natural resource conservation worldwide. Yet, the potential of co‐management arrangements can fail to be realized when there is insufficient local engagement. In this perspective paper, we argue that co‐management schemes focusing on culturally important species (CIS) can help overcome this issue by engaging local people's interest. To develop this theory, we explore published data …

  • Fishers and groupers (Epinephelus marginatus and E. morio) in the coast of Brazil

    Open AccessAlpina Begossi, Svetlana Salyvonchyk et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology and…2019Referências: 7

    Groupers can be considered as a cultural and ecological keystone species. We suggest protective measures: 1) fishing zoning, 2) islands (MPAs) with the surveillance of fishers, 3) late Spring and early Summer as key periods for management (grouper reproduction), 4) studies on grouper larvae, 5) mapping of fishing spots, 6) studies on local knowledge. Collaboration with small-scale fishers and local knowledge could contribute to low-conflict manag…

  • Ethnotaxonomy of sharks from tropical waters of Brazil

    Open AccessMarcelo Moreira De Carvalho, Mônica Rocha De Oliveira et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology and…2018Citada por: 3Referências: 39

    BACKGROUND: Accessing folk knowledge from small-scale fishers is an affordable and reliable approach to understand the dynamic and diversity of shark species worldwide, especially of those eventually caught. In this context, ethnotaxonomy (folk identification and classification) may represent an alternative to support sharks fisheries management, especially in data-poor places. This study aimed to investigate fishing and ethnotaxonomy of the main…

  • The use of Local Ecological Knowledge as a complementary approach to understand the temporal and spatial patterns of fishery resources distribution

    Open AccessMauro Sergio Pinheiro Lima, Jorge Eduardo Lins Oliveira et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology and…2017Citada por: 10Referências: 57

    BACKGROUND: Acquiring fast and accurate information on ecological patterns of fishery resources is a basic first step for their management. However, some countries may lack the technical and/or the financial means to undergo traditional scientific samplings to get such information; therefore affordable and reliable alternatives need to be sought. METHODS: We compared two different approaches to identify occurrence patterns and catch for three mai…

  • Fishers' knowledge on the coast of Brazil

    Open AccessAlpina Begossi, Svetlana V Salivonchyk et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology and…2016Citada por: 14Referências: 31

    BACKGROUND: Although fishers' knowledge has been recently considered into management programmes, there is still the need to establish a better understanding of fishers' perceptions and cognition. Fishers can provide novel information on the biology and ecology of species, which can potentially be used in the management of fisheries. The knowledge fishers have and how they classify nature is empirically based. It is common, for example, to observe…

  • Fisheries Productivity and its Effects on the Consumption of Animal Protein and Food Sharing of Fishers’ and Non-Fishers’ Families

    Mikaelle Kaline Bezerra Da Costa, Clarissy Dinyz de Melo et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition2014

    This study compared the consumption of animal protein and food sharing among fishers' and non-fishers' families of the northeastern Brazilian coast. The diet of these families was registered through the 24-hour-recall method during 10 consecutive days in January (good fishing season) and June (bad fishing season) 2012. Fish consumption was not different between the fishers' and non-fishers' families, but varied according to fisheries productivity…

  • Crab gatherers perceive concrete changes in the life history traits of Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763), but overestimate their past and current catches

    Open AccessJuliana Capistrano, Priscila F M Lopes et al.ARTICLEEthnobiology and Conservation2012Citada por: 3Referências: 3

    The mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) is an important resource for the livelihood of several poor families living on the Brazilian coast. However, this species is in the Brazilian list of threatened aquatic species, although not much is known about its stock situation. This study aimed to assess the situation of U. cordatus fisheries, comparing biological data, obtained through crab landing sampling, to information provided by crab g…
