Declarations
:
: This research was approved by the ethics committee of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (CEEAH 4902) and was carried out following the ethical charter of Ethical Research Involving Children (Graham et al., ). Before starting data collection, we obtained the agreement from the relevant administrative-territorial organisations (Fokontany chefs). Oral free prior and informed consent (FPIC) was obtained from each informant before conducting interviews. For children, we asked for both their own and their parents’ FPIC, always reiterating to the children their right to withdraw from the study at any time. To illustrate local ecological knowledge and valorise it in the academy, we cite informants, including children, in references, as knowledge repositories using the citation template developed by MacLeod (). To protect knowledge holders including their village locations, we used pseudonyms while keeping the age and gender of the knowledge owners.
