The Journal of Biodiversity,
Bioprospecting and Development is a good context to evaluate from a scientific
point of view the importance of biodiversity and its use and effects on social
development, including economic development. Humans have always used natural
resources because they are part of the environment and inevitably interact with
it.
Foods, medicines, home all have their origin
in nature. In the evolutionary process of human society, the use of natural
resources based on direct experience became a use based first on cultural
tradition, and later on scientific research and evidence. It is important to
understand the role of ‘ethno’ sciences and other social
sciences for the development of human societies, as well as the
significance of science, which is reflected in scientific publications.
The conflict of interests between various
parties involved in bioprospecting has already started, and social actors have
a relevant role because ethno sciences are involved. We present the problem in
this editorial article, in the best framework: this journal.
