Contemporary ethnobiologists employ the biocultural approach to different contexts and countries, and they seek to describe the relationship between biological and cultural diversity. For Latin American researchers, this approach is particularly interesting from a critical standpoint. We offer a review of the concept of "biocultural", departing from Mexican ethnobiologist contributions. Later, we analyze different uses of this concept in several regional meetings, including the SOLAE Congress of 2015 in Colombia, the SOLAE Congress of 2017 in Ecuador, and the SOLAE Congress of 2019 in Bolivia. Likewise, we reflect on the 2018 congress at Belém do Pará, Brazil, which commemorated the creation of the ISE there thirty years earlier. We argue that the importance of the biocultural approach becomes influential insofar as non-academic and academic people meet and promote Latin American discussion in terms of local realities.
当代民族生物学家在不同的背景和国家采用生物文化方法，并试图描述生物多样性和文化多样性之间的关系。对于拉丁美洲的研究人员来说，从批判的角度来看，这种方法尤其有趣。我们从墨西哥民族生物学家的贡献出发，对“生物文化”的概念进行了回顾。之后，我们分析了这一概念在几个地区会议中的不同用法，包括 2015 年在哥伦比亚举行的 SOLAE 大会、2017 年在厄瓜多尔举行的 SOLAE 大会和 2019 年在玻利维亚举行的 SOLAE 大会。同样，我们也反思了 2018 年在巴西贝伦举行的会议，该会议纪念了 30 年前在那里成立的 ISE。我们认为，生物文化方法的重要性在于非学术和学术人员的相遇，并促进了拉丁美洲根据当地现实进行讨论。
