“…Yerba mate, or ka'a, Ilex paraguariensis, is a species exchanged with cultural and medicinal value for Guarani [54,55]. A variety of yerba mate with a lighter shade on the leaves were brought from Misiones to Campo Molhado indigenous land, and it is different from the one already found there, showing the potential of exchanges to increase the local variability of the species.…”

Background Experts in the Atlantic Forest, the Guarani people have the habit of transporting and exchanging plants due to their mobility throughout the territory. Historically, this habit contributed to the species composition and diversification among different phytophysiognomies that comprise the Atlantic Forest. Medicine and spirituality are traits that stand out within the Guarani culture, which is based on a holistic understanding of physical and spiritual well-being for the person’s health. To achieve this balance, they use a range of native and adapted plant species. Our goal is to understand some of the Guarani contributions to the cultural landscape in the Atlantic Forest. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with key persons asking about the importance of forest environments for Guarani health and about visits to other Guarani villages and plants exchanged. Data analysis was qualitative, and through a bipartite network of exchanged plants to show current plant exchanges between villages. Results We visited seven Guarani Indigenous Territories in south Brazil, and with the participation of 12 respondents, we registered 27 species that were exchanged through different phytophysiognomies in the Atlantic Forest. These results show an intense movement of plants currently occurring between villages and the importance of these movements for both individual health and the integrity of the environments in which the Guarani villages are inserted. Conclusions We observed a search for the maintenance of traditional species in the Guarani medical system, and we highlight the fundamental role of Guarani management in the conservation of the southern Atlantic Forest in indigenous territories.

Background: Experts in the Atlantic Forest, the Guarani people have the habit of transporting and exchanging plants due to their mobility throughout the territory. Historically, this habit contributed to the species composition and diversification among different phytophysiognomies that comprise the Atlantic Forest. Medicine and spirituality are traits that stand out within the Guarani culture, which is based on a holistic understanding of physical and spiritual well-being for the person’s health. To achieve this balance, they use a range of native and adapted plant species. Our goal is to understand some of the Guarani contributions to the cultural landscape in the Atlantic Forest. We also investigate whether kinship relations can facilite plant exchanges used in medicinal or mystical contexts between Guarani people. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with key persons asking about the importance of forest environments for Guarani health and about visits to other Guarani villages and plants exchanged. Results: We visited seven Guarani Indigenous Territories in south Brazil, and with the participation of 12 respondents, we registered 27 species that were exchanged through different phytophysiognomies in the Atlantic Forest. These results show an intense movement of plants currently occurring between villages and the importance of these movements for both individual health and the integrity of the environments in which the Guarani villages are inserted. Conclusions: We observed a search for the recomposition of traditional species in the Guarani medical system, and we highlight the fundamental role of Guarani management in the conservation of the southern Atlantic Forest in indigenous territories.

“…Neste contexto, Reis et al (2014) e Bitencourt & Krauspenhar (2006) argumentam que a Floresta Ombrófila Mista, na qual I. paraguariensis é uma das espécies mais frequentes, representa uma formação florestal que tem sido influenciada por práticas antrópicas há milênios, de forma que a sua área de ocorrência natural pode ser considerada como uma paisagem cultural. No caso de I. paraguariensis, este é um aspecto que potencialmente apresenta grande importância, uma vez que o seu uso como estimulante, medicinal e xamânico foi uma prática comum entre os povos pré-colombianos (Klanovicz et al 2008;Contini et al 2012), o que pode estar relacionado com a sua distribuição mais ampla.…”

Impacto de mudanças climáticas sobre a distribuição geográfica potencial de Ilex paraguariensis

Resumo Foi modelado o nicho climático e avaliamos o impacto de mudanças climáticas sobre a distribuição geográfica potencial de Ilex paraguariensis. Esta espécie apresenta elevada importância sociocultural, econômica e ecológica na porção sul da Floresta Atlântica. As áreas de ocorrência foram definidas por meio das coordenadas geográficas das localidades onde a espécie foi registrada. Foram consideradas oito variáveis climáticas obtidas a partir da base de dados do WorldClim. A modelagem do nicho climático da espécie foi realizada por meio de dez algoritmos. A predição da área de adequabilidade climática, contemporânea e futura (2070) da espécie, foi realizada a partir do consenso dos ajustes com boa performance (TSS > 0,40). Para predições futuras, foram considerados cenários de mudanças climáticas otimista (RCP4.5) e pessimista (RCP8.5), com base no quinto relatório do IPCC. Verificou-se que a espécie ocorre, predominantemente, no domínio Atlântico. Enquanto que no cenário otimista, I. paraguariensis apresentou redução de 65,8% de sua área de adequabilidade climática, no cenário mais pessimista, a redução foi de 82,1%, sendo as perdas concentradas nas áreas periféricas das projeções de ocorrência.
