Etnobotánica: aprovechamiento tradicional de plantas y patrimonio cultural

Abstract

La etnobotánica estudia las relaciones entre los seres humanos y los vegetales. En España ha recibido un notable desarrollo en los últimos veinte años. Su principal objetivo son los conocimientos sobre plantas y sus utilidades en la cultura popular tradicional. Las transformaciones acontecidas en las sociedades rurales en las últimas décadas han provocado cambios radicales en los modos de vida y especialmente en las relaciones con la naturaleza. Hasta no hace muchos años el conocimiento de las plantas y sus usos era fundamental para solucionar las necesidades vitales de la población. El despoblamiento rural y los cambios socioculturales han provocado un salto generacional que impide la transmisión oral de estos conocimientos, perdiéndose así gran parte de este rico patrimonio. Urge recopilar todas estas sabidurías y tradiciones, parte sustantiva de la identidad y personalidad cultural de cada pueblo.

The scope of Ethnobotany is to study the relationships between plants and people. The discipline has been growing rapidly in Spain over the last twenty years. Its main objective is to study traditional uses and knowledge of plants. Radical change in life style and in the relationship internature have been brought about by modifications to rural societies over the last few decades. Not many years ago knowledge of plants and their uses was essential to settle basic needs of the population. Migration from rural areas and social and cultural changes have forged a gap between generations that has interrupted communication of this kind of knowledge and loss of a rich heritage. Gathering popular wisdom and traditions, that are important part of the identity and cultural personality of people, is a priority.
