Resumo
Os estudos de etnobotânica que se utilizam de uma abordagem participativa têm como proposta o envolvimento ativo dos moradores locais nas suas diversas etapas, de modo a promover, entre outros aspectos, o fortalecimento da cultura local e seu empoderamento na tomada de decisões sobre o uso dos recursos disponíveis no seu ambiente, visando o desenvolvimento local. O
objetivo desta dissertação foi realizar um levantamento etnobotânico, com a participação ativa de parte dos moradores do Quilombo do Cambury, Ubatuba, SP, denominados “colaboradores locais”, para registrar o conhecimento tradicional a respeito das plantas do ambiente em que vivem. Para isso, foram oferecidos cursos de capacitação aos colaboradores, sobre coleta de plantas e de dados etnobotânicos. Estes, juntamente a equipe técnica, utilizaram esses métodos para selecionar e entrevistar os membros da comunidade especialistas sobre os vários usos das
plantas, como construção, medicamentos, alimentos, combustíveis, entre outros. Os dados foram levantados e anotados em fichas especialmente elaboradas para este projeto, e cada planta foi coletada e depositada nos herbários: Herbário Municipal-SP (PMSP) e do Instituto Florestal (SPSF). Ainda, foram feitas a observação participante e o registro no diário de campo pela pesquisadora responsável. Durante 80 dias de trabalho de campo, 11 especialistas foram entrevistados pelos colaboradores locais, e 199 espécies de plantas foram indicadas. Elas foram divididas em 12 categorias etnobotânicas: medicinais (83), comidas\temperos (71), construção civil (44), construção naval (41), artesanatos (30), entre outras, sendo que algumas estão presentes em mais de uma categoria. Além disso, para que o conhecimento fosse registrado e ficasse disponível para as futuras gerações, tais dados foram utilizados para a produção de um documentário (denominado: “Herança Quilombola”) e de um livreto que abordam sua cultura, com histórias, fotos e pensamentos sobre questões locais, como a conservação. O
desenvolvimento deste estudo contribuiu para o avanço da pesquisa etnobotânica, promovendo a participação dos próprios moradores no registro de seus conhecimentos, e para o registro de novos potenciais bioativos, seja para a área de saúde, cosmética e de novas tecnologias.
Ethnobotanical studies that use the participatory approach have as purpose to involve actively the local population in order to promote the strengthening of the local culture, empowering them to make decisions about the resources available in the their environment and promoting the local development. The objective of this study was collect ethnobotanical data, with active participation of the habitants of Quilombo do Camburi, in Ubatuba, SP, called “colaboradores locais” (local partners), to record the traditional knowledge about the plants of their environment. Training courses were offered to the coworkers to obtain the plants and ethnobotanical data. All the participants of the study used the same methods to select and interview the specialists about the uses of plants, such as construction, medicines, food, fuel, among others. Data about the uses of each plant were recorded in specifics research forms, and each plant was collected and deposited in Herbário Municipal-SP (PMSP) and Instituto Florestal (SPSF). Also, a participant observation and the recording in the field diary by the responsible researcher were made. During 80 days of field work, 11 specialists were interviewed and 199 species were identified. These species were divided into 12 ethnobotanical categories: medicinal (83), food \ spices (71), civil construction (44), shipbuilding (41), handicrafts (30) among others, and some belonged to more than one category. In addition, to record information and let them available to the future generations, the data were used to produce a document (Quilombola Heritage) and a booklet about the culture, containing stories, photos and actions about local issues, as conservation. The data of this study contributed to advances in ethnobotanical research, promoting the participation of the local population and the register of new potentials bioactives for health, cosmetic and new technologies.
