Indigenous
But also the term is related to indigenous or aboriginal, that is, to them, regardless of the geographical place in which they are found, they are popularly called as natives.
Because somehow indigenous people constitute the original population of a certain territory, which was established before other peoples considered more modern.
That is, the social organizations presented by native peoples predate the emergence of the modern state, mainly, because their culture remained outside the European influence after the expansion of the colony.
Among the most popularly recognized natives or aborigines of the American continent are the Mayas, Aztecs and Incas for the remarkable degree of evolution that their cultures demonstrated.
Others that also stood out in the American continent are the diaguitas, pampas, querandíes, araucanos, onas and guaraníes, with different levels of evolution and that mostly were forcibly disappearing after the conquest of the continent by the Kingdom of Spain.
Many were evangelized and progressively lost their cultural traits.
Although it is a fact that there are still many native peoples around the world, the living conditions of most of them turn out to be extremely precarious and they are fighting for the States to recognize their rights and independence.
In any case, and to be fair as well, there are cases, although they are the least, of natives who continue to maintain the customs of their culture and at the same time have acquired the habits and customs of modern Western life, even working in the big cities.
On the other hand, to everything that which is closely related or is typical of these native peoples It will also be called native: the native language, native custom, among others.
Native species: one that belongs to, is its own and original to the ecosystem in which it lives
For its part, the native species will be that which belongs to a specific area or ecosystem.
Meanwhile, its presence in that place is associated exclusively with natural phenomena in which there has not been any type of human incursion.
That is to say, to put it in simpler terms, native species are born, grow and develop in a territory spontaneously and naturally, because the conditions of that place wanted it that way, and they are different from those species that are installed in a place. geographic given, by man. In this case we would be facing species that were introduced by man and certainly will require other care to survive.
With regard to the flora and fauna of a geographical place, those native to that space will be considered as native species.
The interaction and adaptation between the elements that compose it will function naturally and will make up the ecosystem of that territory.
If human action destroys this harmony, either by attacking native species or introducing new ones that affect the normal development of the ecosystem, inevitably, the balance will be lost and may even disappear completely.
Although it is possible in some cases to restore native fauna and flora that has been lost due to negligent action, we must say that it is not an easy job and that it will require conscious planning, and that it will also take time, because a process that will go from lowest to highest must be followed.
Unfortunately, throughout the world, man has for a long time deployed an irresponsible action in the natural environment that led to the affectation of native natural species.
At present and as a consequence of the experimentation of the dire consequences of this action, awareness has begun to be raised, but the reconnection and rescue of these abused species will require time and money efforts.
