Summary This project is centered on the development and implementation of a novel digital platform, provisionally named the Amazon Traditional Knowledge Registration and Validation Platform for Biodiversity (PCTAB). Designed for deployment on mobile devices, the platform aims to facilitate the documentation and scientific validation of traditional ecological knowledge within the Brazilian Legal Amazon. The development process is fundamentally collaborative, employing a participatory monitoring approach. This involves co-creation workshops conducted directly within nine diverse traditional communities spanning three key states of the Legal Amazon: Pará, Amazonas, and Maranhão.

These workshops will bring together members of traditional Amazonian communities and academic researchers in a process of mutual learning and knowledge exchange. The primary objective is to collaboratively record and catalog traditional knowledge systems related to the rich biodiversity found within their territories. The platform will leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to assist in processing, organizing, and potentially identifying patterns within the collected data, bridging the gap between qualitative traditional knowledge and structured information. The strategic combination of the co-creation methodology with the capabilities of the digital platform is designed to ensure that the documented traditional knowledge regarding biodiversity can be rigorously examined and validated from a scientific perspective.

The core ambition of this initiative is for the PCTAB digital tool to serve as a robust mechanism for both recording and scientifically validating the practices and extensive traditional knowledge associated with biodiversity. This validation process will be achieved by establishing dynamic linkages between the data documented by the communities (including textual descriptions, observations, and photographic/visual records gathered through the project) and information available in globally accessible scientific databases. Specifically, records generated by traditional peoples and communities through the platform will be systematically associated with relevant information derived from the comprehensive collections and datasets housed within the Brazilian Biodiversity Information System (SiBBR). This integration aims to enrich both traditional knowledge documentation with scientific context and scientific databases with invaluable local ecological insights, contributing to more effective conservation and sustainable resource management strategies.

The position is open to both Brazilian and foreign applicants who hold a PhD. The successful candidate will be awarded a FAPESP Postdoctoral Fellowship, providing a monthly stipend of R$ 12,000.00. Additionally, a Technical Reserve equivalent to 10% of the annual fellowship amount will be provided to cover unforeseen expenses directly related to the research activities, such as travel for fieldwork, participation in conferences, and acquisition of minor equipment or materials.
