Description :
The objective of this article is to analyse an initiative promoted by a pioneering experience of its kind in the Araucaria region, Chile, which is centred on traditional knowledge of Mapuche commu-nities. By identifying what lessons can be drawn from this experience, this study analyses the fac-tors that can promote synergies between handicraft and conservation of local plants from which resources are derived for handicraft.
