Functional responses and adaptation strategies of pastoral households to drought and volcanic ashfall in Northern Patagonia
Livestock is the main source of food and income, as well as a key socio-cultural asset for pastoralist households in arid and marginalized environments. Pastoral households in the drylands of Northern Patagonia in Argentina have faced repeated droughts over the past two decades and a large volcanic ashfall in 2011 that halved their livestock herds. While most households were severely affected by these events, some were able to withstand or recove…
The Need for a Culture of Care and Safety for Ethnobiologists in the Field
Ethnobiology has made significant strides in its ethical engagement with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. However, the discipline has largely overlooked the multidimensional risks and vulnerabilities that researchers themselves encounter. Ethnobiological fieldwork is inherently intersubjective and requires deep emotional engagement, which can impose profound psychological burdens, particularly in contexts marked by structural violence. T…
A typology of reciprocal management practices in biodiversity stewardship
How Does Local Ecological Knowledge Differ among Inhabitants Who Coexist with the Huillín (Lontra Provocax) in the Limay River Basin, Argentine Patagonia
Humans have coexisted with animal species throughout history. Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) refers to the body of knowledge, practices, and perceptions that people hold regarding the wild animals with which they share their environment. The huillín ( Lontra provocax ) is an endangered otter species. This study explores the LEK held by residents of Nahuel Huapi National Park and its surroundings concerning the natural history of the huillín, an…

Ethnobiology's Contributions to Sustainability Science
Progress toward the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is insufficient at a global scale. A thorough and interdisciplinary understanding of barriers and levers to sustainability, including synergies and trade-offs between SDGs, is utterly important but still limited. Ethnobiology is often advocated as a key discipline to address this research gap. We conducted a systematic literature review to explore (i) the visibility of et…
Niñez Y Conocimientos Ecológicos Locales De Los Bosques Andino-Patagónicos De Argentina. Recomendaciones Para El Trabajo Etnobiológico en El Aula
Numerosos estudios han mostrado que si los conocimientos ecológicos locales de los niños y niñas (CELNs) son incluidos en el currículo escolar, se transforman en herramientas didácticas de integración cognitiva e intercultural. En este trabajo, analizamos tres estudios realizados con niño/as de escuelas primarias de tres contextos socioculturales diferentes (semirural-criollo, rural-pueblo originario, y urbano-multicultural) de los bosques andino…
Between flowers, humans, and honeybees
The production of honey for consumption is one of humans’ most intriguing activities in biocultural terms. Studies on Local Ecological Knowledge linked to Apiculture with Apis mellifera (LEKHA) are limited, particularly in Santiago del Estero (northern Argentina). In this work, we compared the LEKHA of beekeeping families in two different landscapes that show distinct socio-ecological characteristics: “rainfed” and “irrigation.” Through semi-stru…
Patagonian Ethnopedology and Its Role in Food Security
Local knowledge of horticultural soils was analysed from an ethnobiological perspective in a rural population of arid Patagonian, in order to gain a deeper understanding of how the farmers classify, use and value the soil. In this large but sparsely populated territory, a group of 27 participants was selected. The farmers use an ethnoclassification system that distinguishes nine different soil types according to their horticultural aptitude. The …
Resilience processes and positioning of agroecological farmers in an urban horticultural fair in northwest Patagonia
Background: Horticultural fairs are spaces that promote regional agrobiodiversity, transmitting and recreating multiple knowledge and emotions between horticulturists and customers. The adaptive processes by which fairs are sustained over time in the face of socio-economic, climatic, and sanitary changes are still little known. Considering the principles of socio-environmental resilience, the aims of this research were: 1) to analyze the position…
Much More Than Firewood
The use of firewood as an energetic resource in various rural regions of the world is essential for the satisfaction of basic human needs. However, the role of firewood in domestic life and its link to household well-being and food sovereignty have been poorly addressed. In order to investigate these aspects, an ethnobotanical study was carried out in three socio-environmental systems of Argentina ( Chaco, Pampa, and Patagonia). Quantitative and …
Digestive plants in a Mapuche community of the Patagonian steppe
Background: In a rural Mapuche community of the Patagonian steppe (Chubut, Argentina), we analyzed how the use and popularity of digestive plants are affected by their aroma, the presence of dual medicinal-edible uses, their digestive versatility, biogeographical origin and accessibility. Methods: Free listing and in-depth interviews were conducted with 25 collaborators, complemented with participant observation and walks in the field. Quantitati…
Exploring biocultural diversity in urban ecosystems
Urban ecosystems differ from non-urban ones in the strong and rapid biocultural dynamics generated by the interactions between people from different cultures, at large spatial and temporal scales, and very fast rates. This opinion piece explores the concept of urban ethnobiology as a critical field of research that investigates the complex and dynamic biocultural systems that exist in urban environments. We argue that interactions between humans …

Animals play a significant role in many cultures around the world. The southern river otter Lontra provocax (known locally as the "huillín") is endemic to southern Argentina and Chile, and is currently in danger of extinction. Mapuche communities have always lived closely alongside their animal resources, generating unique bonds with them. The objective of this work is to obtain an overview of the importance given to this species in the literatur…
La Etnobiología en Áreas Rurales Y Su Aporte a La Lucha Para Desentrañar Sesgos Patriarcales
El ecofeminismo ha cobrado importancia entre las lideresas campesinas aborígenes y no aborígenes de América Latina. Este enfoque plantea que la dominación extractivista que propone la lógica de mercado sobre la Naturaleza, es la misma que se imprime en los cuerpos de las mujeres desde hace siglos de colonización. Ambos, son territorios-cuerpos sujetos a relaciones de desigualdad y sometimiento. Los estudios rurales muestran que, bajo esa lógica n…

Ethnobiology and research on Global Environmental Change
Several reports have shown that communities of small farmers are the most vulnerable to global environmental change (GEC). Others have revealed that societies which can count on a rich body of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) are more resilient in facing this challenge, since their behaviour is already adaptive in character. Within this scenario, the IPCC establishes the need for "cross fertilisation" between TEK and scientific knowledge (S…
Traditional Mapuche ecological knowledge in Patagonia, Argentina
BACKGROUND: Understanding how people interpret environmental change and develop practices in response to such change is essential to comprehend human resource use. In the cosmology of the American indigenous peoples, as among the Mapuche people, freshwater systems are considered a living entity, where animals have an enormous role to play in the universe of meaning. However, human adaptive responses to freshwater system dynamics are scarcely exam…
