Grounded in the knowledge and practices of community masters, the research aims to promote education and communication regarding biodiversity from a biocultural perspective within the territory. Considering that biological and cultural diversities present themselves as mutually dependent constructs rooted in defined geographical contexts, this biocultural mutualism is present in a rich and pulsating way in the Amazon. Furthermore, these diversities are represented in museum collections in general, and in a differentiated manner in ecomuseums. Thus, the present research is characterized as a case study with a qualitative and exploratory approach, utilizing the observation of activities and semi-structured interviews with local masters of ceramics, carimbó, and a productive home garden as data collection instruments. For data processing, the Content Analysis technique was employed, which gave rise to three categories: The ecomuseum and the community; Biocultural knowledge: masters, practices, and concepts; and The vitality of knowledge: purpose, continuity, and challenges. The results show that the Ecomuseum of the Amazon acts as a strategic guardian of the territory's memory, promoting a sense of belonging and the safeguarding of socio-biocultural heritage, although it faces challenges regarding infrastructure and institutional continuity. Moreover, the analysis of the narratives revealed a profound interdependence between biological and cultural diversity in the knowledge and practices of the community masters, allowing for the construction of an ecology of knowledges that breaks with reductionist views of nature. As a result of the research, an Educational Product entitled "Roots and Knowledge: a journey through Amazonian Biodiversity" was developed, consisting of didactic material that articulates the voices and knowledge of local masters with Science education. Therefore, it is concluded that the valorization of biocultural memory within the ecomuseum space strengthens community engagement and offers innovative pathways for a contextualized scientific education committe to the socio-environmental valorization of the Amazon and the knowledge and practices that exist thereinPPGEECA - Estratégias educativas para o ensino de ciências naturais na Amazônia
