Abstract
El conocimiento acumulado del uso y recolección de plantas medicinales y comestibles es estudiado por la etnobotánica. Los conocimientos son transmitidos a las próximas generaciones, difundiendo un patrimonio cultural en los territorios. La urbanización en la ciudad de Concepción, ha provocado una pérdida de biodiversidad y la eliminación de corredores biológicos característicos, generando cerros islas como es el cerro Chepe. Actualmente la flora, fauna y los conocimientos ancestrales se encuentran vulnerables ante el desarrollo urbano y poca valoración por parte de las instituciones pertinentes. El objetivo del estudio fue realizar el estudio florístico y una encuesta con el fin de dar a conocer los conocimientos y usos de los recursos de este cerro. Se identificaron un total de 54 especies, 19 de las cuales son utilizadas por sus propiedades medicinales y/o comestibles. Del total de encuestados, el 75% son mujeres, el 62,5% se identifica con un pueblo originario. Con respecto a sus prácticas de recolección, la estructura de la planta más usada son las hojas con un 78,57% y la forma de uso más utilizada es en infusión 73,3%. Con la información recopilada se confeccionó un catálogo ilustrado, que servirá para proteger y conservar la biodiversidad y los conocimientos tradicionales sobre el uso de plantas.
