“…Between the 1950s and the 1960s, the Brazilian federal Government led the relocation of most of the group to the southeast, in an area that is currently known as the Xingu Park (Grünberg 2004). The resettled Kaiabi have undergone a process of social, institutional, and political innovation and have maintained a repertoire of traditional practices, knowledge and institutions (Athayde et al 2009;Athayde and Schmink 2014). Weaving is considered as an important cultural practice by the Kaiabi, and the graphic designs represented in basketry and textiles are strong symbols of their cultural identity (Athayde et al 2009), reflecting aspects of the group's history, cosmology, ecology and socio-economic organization (Athayde et al 2017a).…”

The past three decades have seen the emergence of myriads of initiatives focused on conserving, revitalizing and maintaining Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK) as part of biocultural approaches to conservation. However, the extent to which these efforts have been participatory has been often overlooked. In this chapter, we focus on five prominent ILK conservation initiatives in the Amazon Basin to examine the participation of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) in ILK conservation. Our review illustrates several examples of ILK conservation initiatives offering substantial opportunities for meaningful IPLC participation over the long term. Overall, our case studies suggest that the development of robust and inclusive decision-making processes is essential to optimize IPLC participation in ILK conservation, thereby increasing the legitimacy of these initiatives. Our review is not an exhaustive account of the breadth and depth of all initiatives promoting participatory biocultural conservation in this region, but it illustrates that there are many strategies that can help foster IPLC engagement and lead the participatory turn in biocultural conservation.
