Increasingly, the Voices of the Earth are at risk of being silenced, overwhelmed by the rising tide of only a few, dominant languages. Along with the languages, also threatened are the ancient teachings that the Voices of the Earth have passed down, through oral traditions, from one generation to the next. We are writing you to consider making a donation to our Voices of the Earth project. By doing so, you will support an effort that embodies the essence of Terralingua’s biocultural diversity mission: our collaborative on-the-ground partnerships with indigenous and local communities who are striving to keep their languages, traditional knowledge, and oral traditions alive. We have been at work on this project since 2011, and the results have been both beneficial and meaningful for the communities and rewarding for us. Our partners are very keen to continue this work with us, and so are we to continue to work with them. Donate now to this worthwhile project, and help it grow!
