SUMMARY:

The genus Dipteryx (Fabaceae), widely distributed in the tropical regions of America, has recognized ecological, economic, medicinal and cultural importance, with particular emphasis on the species D. alata (baru) and D. odorata (cumaru). Despite its multifunctional potential, scientific literature on the genus still presents gaps that hinder integrated conservation and sustainable management strategies. The overall objective of this dissertation is to analyze the genus Dipteryx (Fabaceae) within a global scientific context and through local experience. To this end, it will bring together two complementary studies and be organized into two chapters. The first chapter presents a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications on Dipteryx spp. indexed in the Web of Science, Scielo, and Scopus databases, describing temporal trends, collaboration networks, most studied species, research contexts (nutritional, ecological, economic, technological, medicinal, and social), and knowledge gaps. The results demonstrate the predominance of studies in Brazil and a strong focus on D. alata and D. odorata, reflecting their nutritional, ecological, and economic relevance, but demonstrate the scarcity of social and cultural research. The second chapter proposes a field study on the traditional use and conservation practices of tonka bean (Dipteryx sp.) in a riverside community in the Tapajós-Arapiuns Agroextractive Reserve (Resex), Amazonia, Brazil. Semi-structured interviews and participant observation will be used to document the medicinal, dietary, cultural, and economic uses of the species, as well as the challenges and opportunities for its conservation. The study is expected to contribute to the recognition of local ethnoknowledge, the appreciation of tonka bean as a bioeconomy resource, and the design of participatory sustainable management strategies. By integrating bibliometric analysis and ethnobotanical research, this dissertation will seek to bridge the gap between science and local knowledge, highlighting the relevance of interdisciplinary approaches for the conservation of Amazonian biodiversity and the promotion of sustainable practices that strengthen the ways of life of traditional communities.
