“…In addition, by establishing a relation between the number of citations and the number of individuals, a value of 6.2 citations per individual was obtained for plants in general and 1.8 for plants of the Cerrado. Oliveira et al (2019) have suggested that the dearth of knowledge on the importance of Cerrado plants poses an obstacle to the biome conservation. Also, according to Batista (2009), a narrow engagement from government to avert Cerrado degradation and the population's unawareness of the importance of its vegetation have contributed to the fast devastation of this biome, Therefore, until the value of the Cerrado species is thoroughly understood, by both government and population, conservation of this important Brazilian biome might not be achieved.…”

Medicinal plants of the brazilian cerrado: knowing to preserve

The Cerrado is the second largest biome in Brazil and presents an immeasurable and still underexplored ecological diversity. Despite the exuberance of its endemic species, it is one of the 25 global hotspots, due to a high natural biodiversity wealth along with an expressive environment destruction. In this study, we surveyed the knowledge on medicinal use of Cerrado plants held by individuals living in a predominantly Cerrado region. A semi-structured individual questionnaire for qualitative socio-economic characterization and medicinal use of plants was applied to Public Health Service users of the city of Assis, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Assis Regional Hospital (Protocol 4812010). Out of 149 respondents, 90.6% reported knowledge and/or use of plants for therapeutic purposes. Among 115 mentioned plant species, only 11.4% belong to the Cerrado. We also evaluated how matching were the reported uses and the respective published data from scientific studies on the plants’ medicinal properties. It was verified that for the few Cerrado plants cited, the respondents described several medicinal applications not scientifically described. More precisely, 60.5% of all medicinal applications were not found in the scientific literature. Besides that, many of the therapeutic effects described in the literature for the Cerrado species were not cited by the interviewed population. Our results indicate a relative unawareness of people on the medicinal potential of the native species of their residence region. We suggest that strengthening connection between popular and scientific knowledge, along with spreading such knowledge, could contribute for an improved valuation about the Cerrado biome and consecutive preservation of it.

“…The Cerrado is known for its high biodiversity and for having a high concentration of endemic species, but it has experienced an increasing loss of habitats in the last fifty years (Oliveira et al, 2019). Considered the second-largest Brazilian biome, it occupies around 25% of the national territory and boats significant biodiversity, yet it is undervalued in terms of conservation efforts (Rocha et al, 2022), making it vulnerable to habitat destruction and fragmentation.…”

Resíduos orgânicos podem melhorar a fertilidade de solos degradados e auxiliar no restabelecimento da vegetação. Este trabalho foi estruturado para avaliar a contribuição de resíduos no condicionamento químico de um solo degradado e no estabelecimento do Stylosanthes capitata. O experimento foi conduzido em condição de cultivo protegido, em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 4 x 4 x 2, com 3 repetições por tratamento e 2 plantas por repetição (vasos com 10 kg de solo). Os resíduos, macrófitas aquáticas (MAC) e lodo de esgoto (LOD) foram adicionados ao solo nas doses 0, 10, 20 e 30 t ha-1. A cinza do bagaço da cana-de-açúcar (CZA) foi incorporada ao solo nas doses 0 e 20 t ha-1, dez dias antes do LOD, da MAC e das sementes de S. capitata. Transcorridos 120 dias da semeadura, o solo foi analisado para fertilidade e as plantas para altura, massa fresca e seca da parte aérea e do sistema radicular e volume de raízes. Os resíduos CZA, LOD e MAC elevaram pH, teores de matéria orgânica, fósforo e cálcio, facilitando o estabelecimento da planta, com destaque para a dose de 20 t ha-1 para LOD e MAC. Assim, pode-se recomendar o uso destes resíduos tanto como condicionantes químicos do solo como facilitadores no estabelecimento do S. capitata.

“…However, wide variation still exists in the quality of conservation management, which hinders PAs from achieving their conservation goals (Chidakel and Child, 2022). Many researchers have noted that the effective management of PAs is crucial for successful conservation outcomes and sustainable development (Coad et al, 2013;Rezende Oliveira et al, 2019;Riggio et al, 2019;Lwin et al, 2022).…”

Introduction: The deviation between high willingness and poor actual behaviors in community participation has become an obstacle to achieving effective management and resource protection of protected areas. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate this deviation and its influencing factors.Methods: Based on a field survey of community residents in the Shengjin Lake National Nature Reserve (SJLNNR) in Anhui Province, China, this study uses a Logistic-ISM model to analyze the key factors influencing the deviation and the hierarchical structure supporting those key factors.Results: There is a significant deviation between participation willingness and actual behavior in SJLNNR. This deviation is characterized by eight key factors. Among these, awareness of the necessity of establishing SJLNNR is a direct factor at the surface level. Participation of important or recognizable people; average annual family income; understanding of environmental protection laws and regulations; realization of environmental improvement effect; satisfaction with SJLNNR authority; and future earnings expectations are all intermediate indirect factors. Furthermore, resident member is a fundamental factor. Resident members refer to those who live at home for six months or more during a calendar year.Discussion: These results indicate that there are three possible practical reasons for the deviation: 1) The lack of young and middle-aged adults is the root cause. 2) Inadequate ecological compensation is the direct trigger. 3) Individual internal psychological factors have significant effects. Furthermore, this study provides policy implications for converting willingness into actual participation in the community and promoting sustainable development.
