| description | From a natural sciences perspective, efforts directed at the conservation of biodiversity are based upon what is known as conservation biology. Given its epistemological assumptions, conservation biology faces obstacles in the incorporation of wisdom originating in local ecological knowledge, that which a local population has gained about the local environment which it is surrounded by and due to its direct contact with this local environment, instead of the result of a product of a positivist scientific inquiry. Post-normal science has emerged in recent decades as an alternative for public management that aims to complement the search for knowledge by means of empirical approaches through the inclusion of understandings based on the everyday experiences and the subjective interpretation of natural phenomena, transcending the compartmentalization associated with scientific traditions born out of modernity. This article discusses the integration of local ecological knowledge and conservation biology from the perspective of post normal science, illustrating different forms of intercultural communication that would make the requisite dialogue of knowledges possible. |

Los esfuerzos dirigidos hacia la conservación de biodiversidad se encuentran sustentados desde las ciencias naturales en la denominada biología de conservación. Dadas sus particularidades epistemológicas, ésta enfrenta obstáculos al momento de incorporar sabiduría proveniente del conocimiento ecológico local, aquello que una población humana sabe sobre la naturaleza que le rodea por su experiencia directa con la misma, no como producto de un marco indagatorio positivista. La ciencia postnormal emerge en décadas recientes como una alternativa para el manejo público que propone complementar la búsqueda de conocimiento a través del empirismo mediante la inclusión de entendimientos basados en la cotidianeidad y la interpretación subjetiva de fenómenos naturales, transcendiendo la compartimentación asociada con la tradición científica de la modernidad. Este artículo discute la integración del conocimiento ecológico local y la biología de conservación desde la perspectiva de la ciencia postnormal, ilustrando diferentes formas de comunicación intercultural que harían posible el diálogo de saberes requerido.
