Join Terralingua and the Sacred Natural Sites Initiative as we explore the
rich interconnections between Sacred Natural Sites and Biocultural Diversity
.

Biocultural Diversity  is a living network made up of the millions of
species of plants and animals that have evolved in relationship with
thousands of human cultures and languages. Languages, cultures, and
ecosystems are interdependent. They’re bound together through the myriad
ways in which people have interacted with the natural environment,
material, social and spiritual.

Through a unique lens of stories, photographs, articles, and a diversity of
perspectives this volume of Langscape introduces you to the value of Sacred
Natural Sites as valuable sources of biocultural diversity. They are the
amongst the oldest places at which intersecting human culture and wild
nature have deeply shaped humanity. Their conservation is complex but
important not only for the survival of biodiversity and cultural diversity
but also for  human well-being and life as a whole.

The collaboration between Terralingua and the Sacred Natural Sites
Initiative started with the “Voices of the Earth” project which supports
custodians of sacred groves in Zanzibar and Ghana to conserve their groves
and resources through building on their oral history and biocultural
diversity.

Collaboration has also delivered us the opportunity to work together on
this volume of Langscape and to take you on this this journey in support of
the custodians and communities of sacred natural sites. It is therefore
timely that we explore sacred natural sites as sources of biocultural
diversity and share the lessons learned from this journey. We hope you will
enjoy journeying with us through this special volume of Langscape and we
hope you too will share what you will learn with others.

          Terralingua’s Langscape is intended to be an educational
resource.  Whether a student or professor, an indigenous knowledge keeper,
or concerned citizen: Langscape provides the in depth stories that are
invaluable to make a convincing case for the preservation of biocultural
diversity.

Langscape gives voice, by real world examples, to the relationships between
linguistic, cultural and biodiveristy, and explores its impacts for human
well-being in all its dimensions: economic, ecological, health, and the
teachings of the ancestors.

Through this publication we challenge preconceptions about language and
cultural diversity.  We breathe life into biocultural diversity, showing
their importance to our economic and ecological and ethical future.
