“…There are already many examples of participatory initiatives in ethnobiological research that contribute to biological conservation and the empowerment of communities in the management of their resources (Hanazaki et al 2012;da Fonseca-Kruel et al 2019;Baldauf 2020;Rodrigues et al 2020). An example is the recent work by Rodrigues et al (2020), referring to a survey in quilombola communities in which all stages of the project were carried out in a participatory manner, including the planning and dissemination of results.…”

The socio-environmental crisis that we are currently experiencing requires integrative research approaches and actions. Ethnobiology has important potential in this regard, both for its interdisciplinary nature and for recording the relationship between humans and the environment at different times and places. In this way, this opinion essay aims to discuss what we can learn from ancestral societies and Indigenous peoples for the establishment of a more equitable and sustainable world, considering the intersection between gender and ethnic groups. We will begin by examining archaeological data of societies in Old Europe and how domineering and patriarchal societies have been established. We will discuss a few findings about pre-Columbian peoples in America that reinforces the existence of more equitable societies. We add discussions related to gender, in the context of Indigenous peoples, and reflect on the importance of the feminine and of the complementarity in social relationships. Finally, we discuss the role of ethnobiological research in this context and the ways of collaborating to support values that favor the establishment of equitable societies, which are fundamental to address the challenges of this era of change.

“…Biocultural collections encompass herbaria of vascular specimens and non-vascular specimens; zoological specimens; plant and animal parts; plant and animal products; DNA collections; living collections; archaeological plant and animal materials; ethnographic materials and cultural artefacts; and biocultural documentation (Salick et al 2014;Fonseca-Kruel et al 2019). Biocultural collections have long been resources for the study of biodiversity and understanding of biophysical systems and processes (Davis 1996;Ponder et al 2001).…”

“…Biocultural collections are increasingly recognized as important resources for biocultural knowledge, including traditional, indigenous and local ecological knowledges (Fonseca-Kruel et al 2019). As assemblages of materials, knowledge and relations (Bell 2017), biocultural collections have the potential to build knowledge and understanding of people-plant relations from multiple perspectives (Fonseca-Kruel et al 2019: 215).…”

Biocultural collections include specimens of plant and animal origin, artefacts and documentation. They are important resources for the conservation of biological and cultural diversity, as well as for education and research. Curation of biocultural collections at Amgueddfa Cymru–National Museum Wales is underpinned by the unique legislative framework, the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015). This article presents the findings of a series of six workshops with a range of community groups invited to discuss how the Amgueddfa Cymru Economic Botany Collection can build public understanding of biodiversity and fulfil its well-being duty. Findings indicate participant interest in the collection as a resource that can support learning about the multiple values of plants, the diverse cultural heritage linked to plants and the community connections the collection can support, including within and across cultures, practices and places.
