The relationship between humans and the environment: ethnobotany to ethnoecology. Methods used in ethnobiology. Uses of wild plants (medicinal, food, handicrafts, cosmetics). Ethnobotany and its possible applications (e.g., education, urban home-gardens, tourism, food sector, herbalism, pharmacognosy). Ethnobiology in various geographical and cultural contexts and relationships with anthropology. The contribution of ethnozoology to zoology and biogeography. Folk taxonomy and its relationship with the scientific taxonomy. Traditional and Local Ecological Knowledge. Overview of subsistence strategies of indigenous communities (hunter-gatherers, farmers, pastoralists). The role of ethnobiology in environmental conservation and restoration. Concepts of adaptation, resilience, vulnerability and tipping points in Social-Ecological Systems.
