Today we speak with linguist and anthropologist Dr. Luisa Maffi about the concept of biocultural diversity. In 1995, Dr. Luisa Maffi and David Harmon explored the idea of how cultural diversity, language diversity, and biodiversity are all interconnected. If we were to lose a culture or language then we would see the negative effects in our biodiversity as well. Ultimately, this understanding led Dr. Luisa Maffi, David Harmon and some team members to create Terralingua - an international non-profit dedicated to sustaining the diversity of life in nature and culture. Dr. Luisa Maffi is now the director of Terralingua and continues to explore the “connections between language and the way language expresses the way of thinking and acting of a given culture. In particular, the way it expresses and codifies the ways of thinking and acting towards the environment.” If you have any stories to help contribute to the understanding of biocultural diversity or are interested in hearing authentic stories from people across the globe then check out Dr.Luisa Maffi’s Langscape Magazine. It is an annual online publication that further explores the interconnectivity of biocultural diversity. To learn more about Terralingua visit their website. Terralingua’s Twitter: @TerralinguaBCD.

*We need your support to continue the show! If you've listened to more than a few episodes and have learned from our work, please join our Patreon today: www.greendreamer.com/support   Dr. Luisa Maffi is a pioneer of the concept of biocultural diversity—which is the intertwined diversity of life in nature and culture. In 1996, she co-founded Terralingua, which is an international nonprofit devoted to sustaining biocultural diversity. And she currently heads the organization and edits its flagship publication, Langscape Magazine. In this podcast episode, Dr. Maffi sheds light on what it means to champion a new type of extinction rebellion—namely, a biocultural extinction rebellion; how all of our current forms of political and economic frameworks—socialism, communism, capitalism, and so on—all share a common worldview of natural resources; what might be at stake if we continued to try to only address biodiversity loss without at the same time preserving cultural and language diversity; and more.
