Strengthening of the Ethnobotanical Herbarium of the Andean-Amazon Foothills (HEAA) and the development of a biocultural and academic knowledge exchange process in the department of Putumayo-Colombia
Project summary:
The Herbario Etnobotánico del Piedemonte Andino-Amazónico (HEAA) aims to build and advance the articulation of ethnobotanical work with goals in social and environmental development, based on the integration of the visions about the use and management of the territory which the local communities (ethnic, peasant and afro-descendant) inhabiting it have.
