Abstract

Por miles de anos el pueblo Guna ha hecho uso del recurso vegetal que se encuentra en su entorno para la cobertura de sus necesidades vitales como la elaboracion de alimentos, medicina, lena, construccion, artesanias, tintes, entre otros. Su cosmovision de la naturaleza les ha permitido tener una relacion muy intima su contexto natural. A pesar de esta relacion, el conocimiento tradicional asociado a los usos de las plantas se esta perdiendo con el paso de los anos. Por este motivo la presente investigacion tiene como proposito conocer los usos de las plantas y asi aportar informacion valiosa del conocimiento del uso de la diversidad vegetal en las comunidades Guna. Para ello, se llevo a cabo una investigacion etnobotanica descriptiva-transversal realizada en 9 comunidades de los corregimientos de Nargana y Corazon de Jesus, mediante encuestas abiertas y recoleccion de muestras de especimenes vegetales. Se realizo un inventario floristico con 85 especies, que dio lugar a la identificacion de 6 categorias etnobotanicas, siendo los usos mas mencionados: referentes ecologicos (70 menciones), alimento (46 menciones), construccion (45 menciones), artesanal (38 menciones), combustible (18 menciones), medicinal (16 menciones). Se calcularon los indices de valor de uso (IVU) por categoria etnobotanica. Los resultados presentan informacion sobre de la diversidad cultural y del saber popular ancestral del pueblo Guna. Este continuo arraigado a su identidad, donde el recurso vegetal es valiosisimo, por los que este estudio arroja informacion que permite la toma de decision pertinente para la promocion de estrategias de conservacion a largo plazo de las areas boscosas de Guna Yala.
