最近的文章“灰盐和身体影响：Witoto环境知识作为性教育”（Echeverri和Román-Jitdutjaitno 2013 Environ。保留信函8 015008）认为土著人民和他们独特的知识体系在亚马逊西部。这些复杂的系统提供了有关这些热带森林生活的丰富详细的实用知识，如今许多人认为这些热带森林人口稠密，文化遗产丰富。通过仔细分析灰盐和盐的制作以及与之相关的技术和身体影响，作者认为亚马逊土著人民不把环境知识视为自然资源，而是如何在社交网络中与人类互动并产生人类身体，作为性教育的一种形式，并延伸到公共卫生。它还强调了社会关系作为研究的一部分的至关重要性，以及自然政治，对当代关于生物多样性、可持续性、气候变化和人权的辩论和研究具有重要影响，特别是科学研究中需要哪些类型的协议不仅是强大的，而且是对社会负责的。
The recent article ‘Ash salts and bodily affects: Witoto environmental knowledge as sexual education’ (Echeverri and Román-Jitdutjaãno 2013 Environ. Res. Lett. 8 015008) considers indigenous people and their distinctive knowledge systems in the western Amazon. These complex systems provide richly detailed practical knowledge about life in these tropical forests, which today many see as well populated and rich in cultural heritage. Through a careful analysis of ash salts and salt-making and the technologies and bodily affects associated with it, the authors suggest native Amazonian peoples see environmental knowledge not in terms of natural resources but instead how they interact with and produce human bodies in social networks, as a form of sexual education and, by extension, public health. It also highlights the critical importance of social relations as part of research, and the politics of nature, with important implications for contemporary debate and research on biodiversity, sustainability, climate change and human rights, specifically what types of agreements are entailed in scientific research that is not only robust but socially responsible.
