Servicios ecosistémicos y bienestar local: caso de estudio sobre productos de medicina natural en Panguipulli, sur de Chile

The study examines the relationship between ecosystem services and local wellbeing in Panguipulli, Chile, focusing on the use of natural medicinal plants. It finds that wellbeing is constructed both through private family practices, such as the intergenerational transmission of knowledge during plant collection, and public community initiatives, specifically the Inter-Cultural Health Program. The research identifies the Inter-Cultural Health Program, the Inter-Cultural Health Table, cultural agents, and the family unit as the primary 'satisfiers' that meet various local needs, ranging from understanding and participation to affection and freedom.

• Wellbeing in the studied territory is constructed socially through two distinct channels: private daily practices within the family unit, such as parents teaching children to recognize and collect medicinal plants, and public community practices, primarily through the Inter-Cultural Health Program's medicine collection and processing initiatives.
• The study identifies specific 'satisfiers' linked to different human needs: the Inter-Cultural Health Program acts synergistically across multiple needs; the Inter-Cultural Health Table addresses understanding and participation; and cultural agents and the family unit fulfill needs for affection, leisure, and freedom.
