Evidence

Peer-reviewed

Geography

Quarta Colônia UNESCO Geopark, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

System

Atlantic Forest; local sustainability learning

## WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS

A qualitative interview study of women participating in the From Forest to Plate course in southern Brazil described increasing recognition of Atlantic Forest products, intergenerational responsibility and stewardship. Eleven purposively selected participants and associated contributors informed narrative analysis.

## WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ

Local ecological knowledge and livelihoods can change conservation participation, but attitude changes must not be mistaken for verified biodiversity outcomes.

## CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY

Small, nonrandom, self-reported qualitative sample; it cannot demonstrate broad behavior change, income effects or recovered forest condition.
