In this article we introduce some important concepts about the relevance of the study and cataloging of Brazilian biodiversity, bringing a discussion of the importance of knowledge about it and its environmental, economic and social consequences. We also discuss some challenges experienced daily by researchers to build this knowledge, as well as its applicability to the environmental conservation. Some Brazilian ecosystems, among marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats, are addressed in this discussion. It is expected that this paper highlights some of the aspects of the huge brazilian biodiversity and encourage new students to become researcher sand explorers toward the knowledge of the planet’s biological heritage.

The revision of historical relationships of domination in ethnographic museums and the emergence and proliferation of indigenous museums are both part of the post-colonial turn of recent decades. While ethnographic museums have acknowledged their role as instruments of colonial expansion and started to consider the presence of the producers of the objects on display, indigenous museums initiated on-going claims of indigenous sovereignty over the definition and interpretation of their own histories. In this process of museological decolonization one of the crucial practices is the so called collaborative work between professionals that work in museums and indigenous populations. Departing from a series of cases from Canada and the United States that have collaboration as its corner-stones, this text intends to evaluate the scope, limits and contact points between collaborative work and indigenous self-representation, providing an analytic structure that goes beyond the borders of these two countries.
