Conocimiento ancestral y uso de plantas nativas de zonas tropicales y Amazónica: Una Revisión Sistemática
Ancestral Knowledge and Use of Native Plants of Tropical and Amazonian Areas: A Systematic Review
Resumen
Objetivo: identificar las relaciones entre el conocimiento ancestral y el uso de plantas nativas Metodología: se empleó un enfoque mixto que incluyó un análisis de regresión logística binaria y herramientas de análisis de datos cualitativos mediante ATLAS.ti, para analizar datos sobre la gestión de recursos naturales y la conservación de la biodiversidad. Resultados: el análisis reveló una coocurrencia significativa entre las prácticas de conservación y la gestión de biodiversidad, subrayando la importancia de las comunidades indígenas en la preservación del conocimiento tradicional. Además, el modelo de regresión logística resalta que variables como la gestión de biodiversidad, la ubicación geográfica y el uso de plantas medicinales influyen significativamente en la probabilidad de ciertos eventos relacionados con el conocimiento tradicional. Limitaciones: gran parte de la bibliografía y estudios son publicados en países anglosajones, lo cual minimiza la procedencia de la fuente de los estudios y su aplicación con beneficios a las personas. Conclusión: el estudio revela la interrelación entre las prácticas agrícolas sostenibles y el conocimiento tradicional en la conservación de la biodiversidad, proporcionando una base sólida para futuras investigaciones en este campo.

Objective: Identify the relationships between ancestral knowledge and the use of native plants. Methodology: To achieve the objective, a mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating binary logistic regression analysis and qualitative data analysis tools using Atlas.ti. This approach was applied to data concerning natural resource management and biodiversity conservation. Results: The analysis revealed a significant co-occurrence between conservation practices and biodiversity management, underscoring the importance of Indigenous communities in the preservation of traditional knowledge. In addition, the logistic regression model highlights those variables such as biodiversity management, geographical location, and the use of medicinal plants that significantly influence the likelihood of certain events associated with traditional knowledge. Limitation: A large part of the bibliography and studies are published in Anglo-Saxon countries, which minimizes the origin of the source of the studies and their application with benefits to people. Conclusion: The study demonstrates the interrelationship between sustainable agricultural practices and traditional knowledge in biodiversity conservation, providing a solid foundation for future research in this field.
