Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that affects people living in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. There are few therapeutic options for treating this infectious disease, and available drugs induce severe side effects in patients. Different communities have limited access to hospital facilities, as well as classical treatment of leishmaniasis; therefore, they use local natural products as alternative medicines to treat this infectious disease. The present work performed a bibliographic survey worldwide to record plants used by traditional communities to treat leishmaniasis, as well as the uses and peculiarities associated with each plant, which can guide future studies regarding the characterization of new drugs to treat leishmaniasis. A bibliographic survey performed in the PubMed and Scopus databases retrieved 294 articles related to traditional knowledge, medicinal plants and leishmaniasis; however, only 20 were selected based on the traditional use of plants to treat leishmaniasis. Considering such studies, 378 quotes referring to 292 plants (216 species and 76 genera) that have been used to treat leishmaniasis were recorded, which could be grouped into 89 different families. A broad discussion has been presented regarding the most frequent families, including Fabaceae (27 quotes), Araceae (23), Solanaceae and Asteraceae (22 each). Among the available data in the 378 quotes, it was observed that the parts of the plants most frequently used in local medicine were leaves (42.3% of recipes), applied topically (74.6%) and fresh poultices (17.2%). The contribution of Latin America to studies enrolling ethnopharmacological indications to treat leishmaniasis was evident. Of the 292 plants registered, 79 were tested against Leishmania sp. Future studies on leishmanicidal activity could be guided by the 292 plants presented in this study, mainly the five species Carica papaya L. (Caricaceae), Cedrela odorata L. (Meliaceae), Copaifera paupera (Herzog) Dwyer (Fabaceae), Musa × paradisiaca L. (Musaceae), and Nicotiana tabacum L. (Solanaceae), since they are the most frequently cited in articles and by traditional communities.

AbstractEfforts to protect, if not revitalize, intangible cultural heritage in its traditional communities, cannot succeed without due attention to issues of ownership—cultural, environmental, intellectual, economic … “intellectual property” categories in a wisdom system such as that of the Baul of Bengal show that Traditional Knowledge, Customary Law and Traditional Cultural Expressions are inseparable “property,” and that “ownership” should be understood on traditional terms. Within such an integrated continuum, knowledge itself is not limited to it modern meaning.Is it possible to bring about a true and equitable dialogue between radically antagonistic intellectual property universes—the modern one driven by profit, and traditional ones rooted in complex systems of multiple values?The death of a wise old one is the loss of a whole library—L.

The traditional domains in which the Maori language has been able to flourish or even survive have been severely reduced as a result of colonisation and associated language loss. The breakdown of traditional Maori communities and the economic and social pressures experienced by Maori have all contributed to our language decline as our people increasingly left their traditional communities for the urban centres in the hope of securing a better existence for them and their whanau.  This move away from papakainga combined with the restrictions upon access to traditional mahinga kai (food gathering places) has meant the domain of te taiao (the environment) and associated language around the hunting and gathering practices of our tupuna (ancestors )are now held by a declining number of repositories of the reo. Furthermore advances in technology, techniques and equipment used in the modern harvest of wild foods have occurred faster than the evolution of the language. The survival of the language and transmission of its knowledge now requires collaboration between those with knowledge of the language and those engaged in the environment. This will enable the development of vocabulary to keep up with the changes while maintaining the traditional knowledge base and perspective. This paper aims to examine methods of collaborating those with the specific knowledge of each field in an effort to regenerate the usage of the language in the domain from which it finds reference.

No Estado de São Paulo, as Comunidades Tradicionais estão em constante ameaça devido ao crescimento urbano desenfreado, especialmente no litoral, em que, adicionalmente, a onda turística traz grande influência. Na região litorânea do Estado, a Comunidade Caiçara é a mais presente, entretanto seus saberes populares se encontram descaracterizados e diluídos. Dentre as comunidades tradicionais remanescentes, a Comunidade Caiçara da Prainha Branca, instalada no Guarujá é uma das mais preservadas. Apesar de, e por conta de ser preservada, a influência turística é bastante presente, levando a desvalorização e perda dos seus conhecimentos populares. Diversos estudos apontam que uma das formas de valorização e difusão desses saberes é por meio do ensino às crianças, especialmente, durante suas atividades no Ensino Fundamental. Tendo em vista que as comunidades caiçaras são classificadas como comunidades rurais, pelo Ministério da Educação, os ensinamentos da comunidade são voltados aos saberes diretamente relacionados ao meio ambiente. Levando em consideração as diretrizes definidas por meio de conferências internacionais, como a Rio-92, a introdução de ferramentas didáticas práticas extraclasse são de extrema importância na fixação do conhecimento. Em relação à Prainha Branca se torna de fundamental importância a implementação de ferramentas didáticas práticas, que visem valorização de seu conhecimento popular, especialmente, em relação à utilização de espécies vegetais nativas para fins medicinais. O horto como ferramenta didática, além de estimular, valorizar, fixar e difundir os saberes da comunidade sobre o uso de plantas, irá possibilitar o desenvolvimento prático de conhecimentos abordados em sala de aula.Palavras-chave: Ensino Fundamental. Ferramentas Didáticas. Conhecimento Tradicional.AbstractIn  São Paulo State, traditional communities are constantly threatened by unbridled urban growth, especially in  the coast, where the tourist wave presents a significant influence. In the coastal region of the State, the Caiçara Community is the most present, however its traditional knowledge is decharacterized and diluted. Among the remaining traditional communities, the Caiçara Community of Prainha Branca, settle down  in Guarujá, is one of the most preserved. Although, and because of being preserved, the tourist influence is quite present, leading to the devaluation and loss of their traditional knowledge. Several studies point out that one of the ways of valuing and diffusing traditional knowledge is through children’s education, especially during their elementary school activities. The Caiçara communities are classified as rural communities, by the ministry of education, thus the community's education are focused to the knowledge directly related to the environment. Taking into account the guidelines defined through international conferences, such as Rio-92, the introduction of practical extra-class didactic tools are extremely important in fixing knowledge. In relation to Prainha Branca, it is fundamental to implement didactic tools aimed at valuing traditional knowledge, especially in relation to the use of native plant species for medicinal purposes. The use of Gardens as a didactic tool, besides stimulating, valuing, fixing and diffusing the community’s knowledge about the use of plants, will enable the practical  knowledge development  in the classroom.Keywords: Elementary School.

AbstractCoastal Indigenous and Traditional communities are starting to see changes to their lives from climate change, whether this is from species range changes or displacement from land changes. For many of these communities, the ability to adequately adapt to these changes is limited by the governance structures they are required to live within, which differ from their customary practices and culture. In November 2019, a group of Indigenous and Traditional Peoples, attended the Future Seas 2030 workshop and discussed the consequences of climate change, the biggest barriers for their communities, and barriers for using traditional knowledge in order to contribute towards a more sustainable future that in the end will benefit all of earth’s people. The aim of this workshop was to highlight and give a voice to the various backgrounds and real-life situations impacting on some of the world’s Indigenous and Traditional communities whose connection with the oceans and coasts have been disrupted. This paper presents these issues of oppression, colonisation, language and agency, making it difficult for these groups to contribute to the current management of oceans and coasts, and asks scientists and practitioners in this space to be allies and enable the needed shift to earth’s guardians taking a leading role in nurturing her for our future.

<p>The great nation is a nation that is able to uphold the identity of the nation. Indonesia as the country with works of art and culture is no exception in terms of the traditional cultural heritage indeed has tremendous potential. And this potential still seems to be hidden and not used optimally.</p><p>One of the potential that can be developed for economic development are traditional knowledge (traditional knowledge), including folklore, art, dance, carvings, weavings and other traditional cultural expressions is the result rather than the fruit of human thought both movable and captured by our senses that have either abstract or tangible form.</p><p>The emergence of issues of injustice felt by developing countries occur because of traditional cultural expressions they do not get the protection and respect for traditional communities as the owners of traditional cultural expressions. Utilization of traditional cultural expressions may be defined as the use of traditional cultural expressions assets commercially and used without any sharing of benefits from the developed countries, therefore we need a protection.</p>
