Until the 1990s the a9ai was a procluct basically of local consumption in the states or the Brazilian Amazon, being even known as "foocl of the poor··. Since then, following the expansion of its market, the exploitation or this fruit has undergone numerous transformations. Nowadavs. besides being nationally known, it also has its demand expanded in the international markets, being considered no\\· as a superfood. Such increase in demand has consequently influenced an increase in consumer prices and. in most cases. in the remuneration of extractivists, originally the exclusive suppliers of the fruit. The increase in supply has been due to the multiplication and diversification or actors in the chain, as well as the diversification of management and production practices (native acai trees densification, increase or monoculture or consortium plantations), depending on the economic context of the producing region, proximity to the industry and time in the activity of the primary suppliers. These changes can also hring vulnerability to more traditional forms and with smaller scale of production. Considering the trajectory or other extractive products that had their demands increased and, in order to meet them, had to identify substitutes, or to change the type or production system, this paper discusses, from recent data, if the main fonn of a<;ai offer in the future will still remain through extraction or through cultivation systems. The paper also discusses what forms 01· market regulation and maintenance of traditional practices could guarantee the permanence of diversified and more sustainable systems.

Por tras do aparato comercial das ind(1strias de produtos naturais. existe o conhecimento das popula,oes que. tradicionalmente, extraem o oleo de andiroba e encontram dificuldades de acesso ao mercado. 0 objetivo deste foi identilicar o conhecimenio tradicional sobre a andiroba e caracterizar o modo de extra\:ao dos ribeirinhos das Reservas Mamirau:i e ;\mana, Amazonas, Brasil. Foram realizadas 30 enirevistas, em 18 comunidades. A maioria dos entrevistados possui ensino fundamental incompleto, a renda familiar e composta pelo extrativismo e balsas sociais. A extra,;:io do 6leo de andiroba i realizada prioritariamente para o consumo, emhora haja potencial para a comercializai;ao. Os extratores visitam o andirobal uma (mica vez no ano para coktar as sementes. Nao identificam clara111entc as fases fenol6gicas, mas, sabem quancto e o ''tempo de coletar", por exemplo. A nwioria dos infonnantes afir111a que as andirobeiras l'rutificam entre nowmbro e junho e a dispersao acontece entre dezembro e julho, sendo melhor para coletar em maio. Declaram que as sementes s:io todas iguais, porem dizem ter difere,wa na madeira: hranca ou vermelha.Todos os entrevistados relataram saber extrair o 6leo e que esta e uma atividade realizada principalmente pelas mulheres. As etapas sao: coleta das sementes, cozimento. secagem. descasca111ento, preparo da massa e escotTimento do 6leo. Estas infonna\:<'ies facilitam o manejo da atividacte nessas areas, valorizam o conhecimento tradicional associado e o empoderamento feminino na explora,;:io de 6leos de sementes t1orestais.

Tropical forest tree inventories and plot projects have generated large amounts of data over many decades, but much of this data is in paper or older digitized formats. or still undiscovered. These data sets are in danger of being lost and with them our ability to assess historical changes that can inform research ancl policy development for land use change and landscape resilience. These legacy datasets are invaluable for understanding how tropical forests. biodiversity, and
carbon storage change through time, including the cumulative impacts or changes in land use and climate. Historical data can also help instruct current and
future forest management. To locate these data sets, we are reaching out via various electronic media and contacting academics and practitioners. We are also searching older compilations of these data sets such as 1\TROFI-UK which has metadata on c; 30 studies in neecl of curation and TROPIS which refers to 6000 plots with uncertain status. The inventories and plots located will be cross referenced against lists or curated datasets such ns Forestplots.net and others under the Glohal Index or Vegetation-Plot Databases (GfVD). to detennine "·hich datasets are not already in a long-term data repository. Currently the project has identitied some 20 inventory and plot-based studies in need of curation, in countries ranging from Vanatu to Ghana to Belize. We invite wide participation in the quest for unsecured historical data sets. The guiding principle of the project is that the past can help enlighten the future.
