Alcántara is the second oldest city in the state of Maranhão, which had its splendor even at the time of colonial Brazil, standing out as a major producer of sugar cane and cotton. The agrarian history of the city is old, dating back more than 3 centuries. Founded in 1648, was an important Maranhão region, besides the production of sugar cane and cotton producing cattle, salt, and food crops, mainly cassava, maize, rice and beans, reaching its best productive time in the mid-nineteenth century. Currently there are about 200 quilombo remaining areas in Alcántara. The objective was to take stock of existing medicinal species in Taperas (areas previously occupied by human presence, and then ruins) of quilombola communities of Manival-coordinates (S 02º 22' 26.6''; WO 44 29' 27.4'') and Castelo-coordinates: (S 02º 24' 43.1''; WO 44 36' 03.07''). In the study were interviewed 5 residents in Manival community and 7 residents of Castelo community to locate Taperas and date the time of abandonment. Taperas were found aged between 30-50 years of neglect. Raised 24 species distributed among 15 families where 2 species were intentionally introduced for cultivation and at one point abandoned as cultivated species: as cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.-Malvaceae) and mango (Mangifera indica L.-Anacardiaceae). The most representative botanical families were Euphorbiaceae (16.66%), Arecaceae, Fabaceae and Malvaceae with 8.33% each. The leaf is 50% utilization of the plant parts. The medicinal uses are varied to control lice and fleas, treat kidney problems, blood cleanser, general pain, and even for treatment of gastritis.

“…A census was taken of individuals from the tree and shrub strata in order to evaluate the floristic composition of each homegarden. The identification of ethno species was carried out following Semedo and Barbosa (2007), Linhares et al, (2014), andRayol, Vale, andMiranda (2017). Briefly, the names of the ethno species were recorded according to the manager and previous knowledge of the authors.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the floristic composition of 37 agroforestry homegardes of the community of São Diogo, located 40 km from the municipality of Monte Alegre, Pará. In order to reach these homegardens, the "snowball" technique was used. In the manager settlers’ house, the data collection was done through tour-guided. Informations were collected about: plant species cultivated in tree and shrub strata, size and age of each system, and management practices. The Shannon index was used to assess the diversity of homegardens. There were 32 species belonging to 26 genera, divided into 18 botanical families, all of them fruit trees, 85.7% of which were used exclusively for self-consumption. The most frequent species were Cocos nucifera, Euterpe oleracea, Citrus limon and Mangifera indica. The homegardens presented on average 12 years of age, with average size 1,973 m². It was highlighted the greater participation of women in the management decisions and activities of these systems. Homegardens are an important for food security and income sources for managers.

“…Desde os primórdios da existência humana, os seres humanos buscam na natureza recursos para melhorar suas próprias condições de vida e, fundamentalmente, aumentar as chances de sobrevivência (Giraldi e Hanazaki 2010). Esse aprendizado popular no meio natural esteve atrelado a constante experimentação e troca de elementos biológicos para serem empregados em prol de remédios, alimentação e artesanato, e se mantém até os dias atuais para o benefício das populações (Linhares et al 2014). Com os povos indígenas, historicamente e culturalmente, sempre houve relações mais próximas com o meio natural, sendo muitas vezes indissociáveis (Haverroth 2010).…”

Quintais tradicionais na Amazônia representam fontes de recursos naturais terapêuticos e expressam conhecimentos relacionados a cultura local. Realizou-se um estudo etnobotânico sobre usos e memória com plantas medicinais na Aldeia Indígena do Cajueiro, município de Paragominas, Pará. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de observação não participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas com especialistas locais, selecionados por seleção racional. A partir das entrevistas foi calculado valor de importância das espécies segundo cada especialista. Trabalhou-se com a História Oral para estimular a busca pela memória de uso e os conhecimentos ainda preservados com a medicina tradicional. Identificaram-se 39 espécies, distribuídas em 22 famílias botânicas. As espécies que obtiveram o maior valor de importância foram caju (Anacardium occidentale L.), manga (Mangifera indica L.), seguidas com pariri (Fridericia chica (Bonpl.) L.G.Lohmann), cidreira (Lippia alba (Mill) N. E. Brown.), capim santo (Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf). As plantas existentes apenas na memória de alguns dos moradores trouxe a tona fragilidades na transmissão de informações bioculturais entre os membros da comunidade. Modificações nas formas de vida, alteração da paisagem e abandono de práticas tradicionais têm prejudicado o compartilhamento de saberes entre especialistas e moradores.
