Support Terralingua in its mission to sustain the Biocultural Diversity of Life!

Join Terralingua’s pioneering efforts around the world  by making a donation through our  secure online server. Your donation will support our cutting-edge work in research, policy, education, and on-the-ground action. You will contribute to the development of our unique and innovative projects, including the documentation and revitalization of indigenous oral traditions, the production of biocultural diversity education curriculum for high schools, and the development of indicators of the state and trends of the world’s languages and traditional ecological knowledge.

 

Why Give?

We are losing the unique ways of life and identities of the world’s diverse peoples. It’s a matter of human rights, and a profound diminishment of what it means to be human.

We are losing both the rich biodiversity that supports humanity and all other species, and the traditional knowledge that helps sustain biodiversity. It’s a matter of our survival.

In a time of crisis, we not only desperately need healthy ecosystems. We also desperately need all the voices of the planet and the ancestral wisdom that they express.

Losing biocultural diversity means a major weakening of the whole fabric of life—the web of interdependence that is absolutely vital to our common future. It means losing our options for life on Earth. It’s like losing our life insurance when we need it most.

We are ALL affected, no matter where and how we live. But it’s not too late!

Yes, humans have been part of the problem. The good news is, we’re also part of the solution!

Imagine: sharing a world of thriving diversity in nature and culture, living in peace and harmony with our fellow humans and all other species on earth. Wouldn’t you wish for that?

You’re not alone. All over the world, thousands of people are working hard to make this happen. From Indigenous peoples and local communities striving to safeguard their lands and ways of life, to the many committed others who are working for the cause at local, regional, and global levels, there is a growing movement underway to stop and reverse biocultural diversity loss.

Join the movement. Make a difference. Become part of the solution to one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced. Get informed, get involved, do your part to protect and sustain biocultural diversity, and you’ll contribute to creating positive change in the world.

Learn more about Terralingua’s projects, and you’ll find out how we are contributing to bringing about a profound shift in human values, through a deeper understanding and appreciation of the vital importance of biocultural diversity for the survival of all life on earth.
