亚马逊秘鲁的Aphandra娜塔莉亚（槟榔科）的传统知识、使用和管理。在秘鲁的帕斯塔萨河和Urituyacu河沿岸，四个村庄的100名线人知道皮阿萨巴纤维棕榈的17种不同用途。人类食用水果、提取纤维用于贸易和收获树叶用于盖茅草是最常见的用途。文献中记录了20种用途，其中8种是首次报告。关于使用A的知识。村民之间的娜塔莉亚有显着不同的种族，村庄和性别，但不与教育或年龄;美洲印第安人的线人知道比非美洲印第安人的线人，和男人知道比女人多。老年人和年轻人所知道的用途数量相同，那些几乎没有接受过正规学校培训的人和那些上学时间较长的人知道的数量一样多。虽然44%的受访者知道纤维提取，涉及Aphandra纤维的贸易在我们的研究领域并没有很大的经济重要性。由于纤维提取在所有以前的研究中被证明是最重要的用途。娜塔莉亚，令人惊讶的是，在其中一个被研究的村庄里，人们并没有使用A。娜塔莉亚的目的。与以前的观察相反，纤维的提取涉及破坏性的棕榈树砍伐。我们建议实施非破坏性提取技术，以便当地社区能够以可持续的方式开发纤维资源。非破坏性提取方法涉及从站立的棕榈树上剪下叶子，而不是砍伐整棵树，并在每个提取的棕榈树上留下一些叶子。然而，鉴于对开采者的经济激励有限，市场机制可能是实施可持续开采技术的最大障碍。
Traditional Knowledge, Use, and Management of Aphandra natalia (Arecaceae) in Amazonian Peru. Along the Pastaza and Urituyacu rivers in Peru, 100 informants in four villages knew 17 different uses of the piassaba fiber palm, Aphandra natalia (Balslev and Henderson) Barfod. Human consumption of fruits, extraction of fibers for trade, and harvesting leaves for thatch were the most frequently reported uses. Twenty uses were documented previously in the literature, and eight are reported here for the first time. Knowledge concerning the use of A. natalia among villagers varied significantly with ethnicity, village, and gender, but not with education or age; Amerindian informants knew more than non-Amerindian informants, and men knew more than women. Old and young informants knew about the same numbers of uses, and those who had little formal school training knew as many as those who had attended school for a longer time. Although 44% of our informants knew about fiber extraction, trade involving Aphandra fibers was not of great economic importance in our study area. Because fiber extraction has been documented as the most important use in all previous studies of A. natalia, it was surprising to find that people in one of the studied villages did not use A. natalia for that purpose at all. In contrast to previous observations, the extraction of fibers involved the destructive felling of the palms. We recommend implementing non-destructive extraction techniques so that local communities could exploit the fiber resource in a sustainable way. Non-destructive extraction methods involve cutting leaves from standing palms instead of felling the entire tree and leaving a few leaves on each extracted palm. However, given the limited economic incentive to the extractor, market mechanisms may be the greatest barrier to implementing sustainable extraction techniques.
