Resumen
América Latina es el continente que posee una de las mayores biodiversidades del planeta, acompañada de una notable variabilidad social, expresada en la riqueza cultural de sus pueblos. Éstos poseen un gran acervo de conocimientos tradicionales sobre la utilización sostenible de los recursos naturales, incluyendo el valor medicinal de diversas plantas y organismos, muchos de los cuales constituyen pilares fundamentales de su economía. Actualmente, dichos saberes están siendo objeto de apropiaciones intelectuales indebidas, lo que incrementa la vulnerabilidad de las familias que dependen de estos recursos para subsistir. En América Latina y El Caribe, comienza a consolidarse una conciencia sobre la naturaleza como una herencia gratuita y que debemos proteger. Se la reconoce como un espacio esencial para la convivencia humana y como una responsabilidad que requiere una gestión ética y cuidadosa, orientada al bien común. No obstante, esta herencia se manifiesta muchas veces frágil e indefensa ante los poderes económicos y tecnológicos predominantes. Por eso, como cuidadores de la vida, queremos insistir y alzar la voz a favor en que las intervenciones sobre los recursos naturales no predominen los intereses de grupos económicos que arrasan irracionalmente las fuentes de vida en detrimento de naciones enteras y de la humanidad en su conjunto. Las generaciones futuras tienen derecho a habitar un mundo más sano y no uno marcado por la degradación ambiental. Felizmente en algunas escuelas se ha comenzado a introducir entre las disciplinas la educación ecológica como parte de la formación integral, promoviendo una cultura de responsabilidad ambiental.
Latin America is one of the most biodiverse continents on the planet, accompanied by remarkable social diversity, expressed in the cultural richness of its peoples. These peoples possess a wealth of traditional knowledge about the sustainable use of natural resources, including the medicinal value of various plants and organisms, many of which are fundamental pillars of their economy. Currently, this knowledge is being subject to intellectual misappropriation, which increases the vulnerability of families who depend on these resources for their subsistence. In Latin America and the Caribbean, awareness is beginning to grow that nature is a free inheritance that we must protect. It is recognised as an essential space for human coexistence and as a responsibility that requires ethical and careful management, oriented towards the common good. However, this heritage is often fragile and defenceless in the face of the prevailing economic and technological powers. Therefore, as caretakers of life, we want to insist and raise our voices in favour of ensuring that interventions in natural resources do not predominantly serve the interests of economic groups that irrationally destroy sources of life to the detriment of entire nations and humanity as a whole. Future generations have the right to inhabit a healthier world, not one marked by environmental degradation. Fortunately, some schools have begun to introduce ecological education as part of their comprehensive training, promoting a culture of environmental responsibility.
