Just wrapped up an incredible field study in the heart of the Amazon, and I’m buzzing with new insights! It’s fascinating to see how communities adapt to their environment in ways that are both resourceful and deeply rooted in tradition. I was particularly struck by their use of local plants in everyday life, turning what many of us might see as just foliage into vital resources for medicine, shelter, and more. These experiences always remind me of the diversity and resilience of human cultures. Can’t wait to dive deeper into the data and share more about these unique practices with you all. Stay tuned!
