Based on our on-going research, herein we summarize ethnobotanical informationof two indigenous groups currently residing in the city of Florencia (capital of the Departmentof Caquet{\'a}) in the Northwestern Amazon basin: the Ember{\'a}, originally from northwesternColombia, and Uitoto, originally from the Colombian Amazon. By focusing in the indigenousethnobotanical knowledge of these two displaced groups, we intend to show the revitalizationof ethnobotanical knowledge, resilience, and multiple resources in form of ancestral knowl-edge that are brought and transmitted by these groups as they struggle for survival, in manytimes hostile urban environments. We hope to draw more attention to and encourage similarstudies on other displaced indigenous populations in Colombia as well as in other areas of LatinAmerica",
