In this essay, we will present arguments for a negative answer to the debate question: "Is publishing ethnobiology data respectful of Indigenous and Local Knowledge holders' rights?" We recognize that ethnobiological research has advanced in recognizing the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC), but we believe that we still have a long way to go in deconstructing colonialism in ethnobiology. In order to be truly respectful, ethnobiologists need to collaborate with IPLC to achieve an ethical science with equity between knowledge systems, fostering the co-production of knowledge from an intercultural science perspective. This essay was written by a group of Brazilian scientists, both IPLC and non-IPLC, and reflects a perspective of the academic universe seen from the place we are, in this multicultural and imbalanced world.
在本文中,我们将针对辩论问题“发表民族生物学数据是否尊重原住民和当地知识持有者的权利?”给出否定答案的论据。我们认识到民族生物学研究在承认原住民和当地社区(IPLC)权利方面取得了进展,但我们认为在解构民族生物学中的殖民主义方面仍有很长的路要走。为了真正做到尊重,民族生物学家需要与IPLC合作,以实现知识体系间公平的伦理科学,从跨文化科学的角度促进知识的共同生产。本文由一群巴西科学家撰写,其中既有IPLC成员,也有非IPLC成员,反映了在这个多元文化且不平衡的世界中,从我们所处之地所看到的学术领域的一种视角。
