Abstract

 Este artigo busca lançar luz sobre os desafios que os povos nativos enfrentam ao usarem o conhecimento indígena para reduzir o risco e mitigar os efeitos dos riscos naturais, incluindo incêndios florestais, e chama a atenção para as formas em que a prática tradicional, assim como a experiência contemporânea, pode ajudar os povos indígenas a reduzir a vulnerabilidade em suas comunidades.
