Abstract

The accelerating erosion of traditional and local ecological and medical knowledge (LEK) systems is increasingly evident in the Global North and across many less marginalised regions of the Global South. This decline is primarily driven by overarching forces, i.e. globalisation, internalised coloniality created worldwide and over decades by non-rural leading classes, and, most remarkably, by a profound detachment from continuous, embodied interactions with nature. At the same time, sustainability-driven agendas and the expanding role of AI in science and daily life intertwine challenges, opportunities, and a few risks for ethnobiology and ethnomedicine in the coming decade. This editorial proposes four plausible scenarios for the evolution of these disciplines, navigating the intricate cobwebs of LEK loss, resilience, adaptation, and, most importantly, trying to open new horizons in the current problematic times. These scenarios are intended to inspire further theoretical and primarily further empirical engagement in the field, alongside a call to urgently foster commoning practices and innovative educational platforms for (re)experiencing LEK.

复数和共有?预测到2035年民族生物学和民族医学的四种情况。
传统的和地方的生态和医学知识(LEK)系统的加速侵蚀在全球北方和全球南方许多不太边缘化的地区日益明显。这种下降主要是由总体力量驱动的,即全球化,几十年来由非农村领导阶级在世界范围内创造的内化殖民主义,以及最显著的,与自然持续的、具体的互动的深刻脱离。与此同时,未来十年,可持续发展议程以及人工智能在科学和日常生活中日益扩大的作用,为民族生物学和民族医学带来了挑战、机遇和一些风险。这篇社论为这些学科的演变提出了四种看似合理的情景,在LEK丧失、恢复力、适应的错综复杂的蛛网中导航,最重要的是,试图在当前的问题时期开辟新的视野。这些场景旨在激发进一步的理论和主要是进一步的经验参与,同时呼吁紧急培养(重新)体验LEK的共同实践和创新教育平台。

期刊介绍: Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine publishes original research focusing on cultural perceptions of nature and of human and animal health. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine invites research articles, reviews and commentaries concerning the investigations of the inextricable links between human societies and nature, food, and health. Specifically, the journal covers the following topics: ethnobotany, ethnomycology, ethnozoology, ethnoecology (including ethnopedology), ethnogastronomy, ethnomedicine, ethnoveterinary, as well as all related areas in environmental, nutritional, and medical anthropology. Research focusing on the implications that the inclusion of humanistic, cultural, and social dimensions have in understanding the biological word is also welcome, as well as its potential projections in public health-centred, nutritional, and environmental policies.
