Sociobiodiversity means the relationship between biological diversity and sociocultural systems. In this sense, they are goods and services generated from native biodiverse resources destined to the formation of productive chains of interest to indigenous and Quilombola communities. These groups promote maintenance and appreciation of their practices and knowledge and ensure their rights, generating income and promoting a better quality of life and of the environment where they live. The diversity of biomes and tropical ecosystems are very important for the populations who live in these places, generating jobs and income, and a huge economic potential and environmental protection.
