The ideal of a single civilization for everyone implicit in the cult of progress and technique impoverishes and mutilates us. Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life.
by Octavio Paz, Mexican poet

Langscape, Vol­ume II, Issue 9. Bio­cul­tural Diver­sity Con­ser­va­tion: a com­mu­nity of practice
 
The theme for this issue  is our grow­ing “com­mu­nity of prac­tice” in bio­cul­tural diver­sity conservation–a move­ment that started with the pub­li­ca­tion of our book Bio­cul­tural Diver­sity Con­ser­va­tion: A Global Source­book in 2010, and has con­tin­ued since then through our ded­i­cated por­tal www.terralingua.org/bcdconservation, an  online space that keeps the Source­book project vibrant, evolv­ing, and interactive.
Once again, our valiant edi­tor Ortixia Dilts has done a splen­did job of putting together the e-zine, draw­ing from the amaz­ing global pool of ded­i­cated bio­cul­tural con­ser­va­tion­ists who have con­tributed to both the print and online ver­sions of the Sourcebook. This issue fea­tures arti­cles span­ning from South Africa to Italy to Costa Rica and describes the lat­est projects that we added to the portal.
