Biocultural Diversity

Championing the diversity of nature, cultures, and languages around the world

Biocultural diversity is the diversity of life in all its forms: diversity in nature, cultures, and languages. It’s the expression of the bountiful potential of life on earth — a global web of interdependence between people and the natural world. At Terralingua, we’ve spent nearly 3 decades researching and championing this vital link. Discover insights, stories, and resources that illuminate and celebrate the diversity that sustains us all.
