Abstract

Biocultural diversity is important for environmental justice, human wellbeing, and sustainable development. Yet it is threatened by landscape degradation and overexploitation. When species go extinct, there is a co-occurring loss of associated cultural elements, and marginalized cultures are the ones that suffer the most from these losses. Here, we present BioCultBase/Borneo, a database of local uses of plants and their cultural contexts from the biologically and culturally hyper-diverse island of Borneo. The database has been developed from secondary data extracted from scientific literature, but is intended to be a live repository that welcomes contributions from academics, researchers and the general public. BioCultBase/Borneo database currently covers 1319 confirmed plant species and plant parts used for 23 use categories. These uses are reported from 39 ethnic communities of Borneo, together representing at least 2242 unique ecocultural links. The ethnicities represented in the database cover 13 % of the 306 officially recognized ethnicities of Borneo. Developing the database further will enhance access to ecocultural data that can be used for developing policy and practises relevant for a broader range of peoples.

婆罗洲植物用途及其文化背景数据库：婆罗洲生物文化数据库介绍

生物文化多样性对于环境正义、人类福祉和可持续发展非常重要。然而，它正受到景观退化和过度开发的威胁。当物种灭绝时，相关的文化元素也会随之丧失，而边缘化文化遭受的损失最大。在此，我们介绍婆罗洲生物文化数据库（BioCultBase/Borneo），这是一个关于婆罗洲这个生物和文化高度多样化的岛屿上当地植物用途及其文化背景的数据库。该数据库是根据从科学文献中提取的二手数据开发的，但旨在成为一个活的资料库，欢迎学术界、研究人员和公众提供资料。BioCultBase/Borneo 数据库目前涵盖 1319 种已确认的植物物种和植物部分，用于 23 个用途类别。婆罗洲的 39 个民族社区报告了这些用途，这些用途代表了至少 2242 种独特的生态文化联系。数据库中代表的民族占婆罗洲官方承认的 306 个民族的 13%。进一步开发该数据库将有助于获取生态文化数据，这些数据可用于制定与更多民族相关的政策和做法。

期刊介绍： Data in Brief provides a way for researchers to easily share and reuse each other''s datasets by publishing data articles that: -Thoroughly describe your data, facilitating reproducibility. -Make your data, which is often buried in supplementary material, easier to find. -Increase traffic towards associated research articles and data, leading to more citations. -Open up doors for new collaborations. Because you never know what data will be useful to someone else, Data in Brief welcomes submissions that describe data from all research areas.
