<div><i>“Traditional knowledge is rooted in the traditional life of Aboriginal people. Certain issues are firmly grounded in traditional knowledge, such as harvesting, use of lands and resources for traditional purposes, cultural well-being, heritage resources, and others. Although the basis for traditional and local knowledge and science-based knowledge can differ, they may on their own or together, contribute to the understanding of these issues.”</i>

</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Traditional environmental knowledge (TEK) is a fundamental expression of the biocultural links between people and nature, and is a key to human survival and adaptation. But there is growing concern that rapid socio-economic change is undermining the intergenerational transmission of TEK in many parts of the world. TEK loss threatens the security, well-being, and identity of indigenous peoples and local communities. It also threatens the conservation of biodiversity, as recognized in the policies and programs of international bodies such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, while there is an abundance of qualitative observations and a few quantitative studies on the persistence and loss of TEK, what has been missing is a consistent, replicable methodology for measuring trends in TEK in many different locales and at different scales, and therefore for assessing the global status and trends of TEK. Terralingua’s Vitality Index of Traditional Environmental Knowledge (VITEK) is just such a tool.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>At a Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meeting in November 2011 (CBD SBSTTA 15, Montreal, 7-11 November 2011), the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) officially proposed Terralingua’s VITEK as an indicator worthy of consideration for use in assessing progress toward the attainment of one of the CBD’s Aichi Biodiversity Targets for 2020 [link to the Aichi Targets]. Target 18 states:</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left:30px"><i>By 2020, the traditional knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, and their customary use of biological resources, are respected, subject to national legislation and relevant international obligations, and fully integrated and reflected in the implementation of the Convention with the full and effective participation of indigenous and local communities, at all relevant levels.</i></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The VITEK comes in as a unique tool for directly measuring the persistence and loss of traditional knowledge, and therefore as a means by which CBD member countries could effectively gauge their success in respecting and integrating traditional knowledge in their conservation and sustainable development policies.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Terralingua is at work to promote the adoption of the VITEK in this and other international contexts. One of the next steps is our participation in IUCN’s 5th World Conservation Congress, to be held in Jeju, Korea, September 2012. With IUCN’s sponsorship, we will present the day-long Conservation Campus “
<a style="color:#556b2f" rel="How to Measure the Loss and Retention of Traditional Knowledge? The Vitality Index of Traditional Environmental Knowledge" href="http://e2ma.net/go/11011535217/208875617/232763975/1405789/goto:http://portals.iucn.org/2012forum/?q=0635" target="_blank">How to Measure the Loss and Retention of Traditional Knowledge? The Vitality Index of Traditional Environmental Knowledge</a>”. During this event, policy makers, researchers, practitioners, and community members will be able to familiarize themselves with the VITEK concept and methodology and its relevance for policy and on-the-ground work. They will also have an opportunity to work with VITEK developer Dr. Stanford Zent to acquire hands-on practice with the use of this valuable tool.</div>

<div style="text-align:left"><span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino"> </span><br>
<span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino">During the Spring 2012 school semester, Terralingua is working with two prominent high schools in the U.S.A., Marlborough School in Los Angeles, California, and St. Mark’s School in Southborough, Massachusetts, to pilot-test the initial version of the curriculum module on biocultural diversity that we are developing under our Biocultural Diversity Education Initiative
<a style="color:#556b2f" rel="httpwww.terralingua.orgbcdeducation" href="http://e2ma.net/go/11011535217/208875617/232763977/1405789/goto:http://www.terralingua.org/bcdeducation" target="_blank">http://www.terralingua.org/bcdeducation</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align:left"><span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino"> </span><br>
<span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino">The project has received the generous support of the Philip and Muriel Berman Foundation, and has been spearheaded by the amazing Terralingua collaborator Jennifer Hegarty, with the expert advice of Dr. Carla Paciotto, Professor of Education at Western Illinois University. Teachers Catherine Atwell (Marlborough) and Laura Warren (St. Mark’s) have agreed to use our pilot lessons in their classrooms, and their feedback will be invaluable for the future development of the curriculum. We are deeply grateful to all those who have made this project possible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:left"> </div>
<div style="text-align:left"><span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino">In the next phases, we plan to develop a full-fledged curriculum on biocultural diversity, complete with interactive materials, and to disseminate it widely in public schools in North America and beyond.</span><br>

In this project, we directly support Indigenous Peoples’ efforts to record and revitalize their place-based oral traditions, which are at risk of disappearing as the number of fluent speakers of many indigenous languages rapidly diminishes.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing:1px"><span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino"> </span><br>
<span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino">With Terralingua support, the Language Apprentices at the Saanich Tribal School recorded and transcribed two of their traditional stories, and are publishing them in the form of two storybooks illustrated with their own original art. These two books will join a storybook series that is being produced for use in the Saanich independent school system. The school runs a very active language revitalization program, which just recently has been enriched by the launch of a “language nest” program for kindergarten-age children.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing:1px"><span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino"> </span><br>
<span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino">Tsilhqot’in linguist Linda Smith and other community members have been hard at work recording many hours of oral histories from the elders in the area known as Nabas, surrounding two lakes (Fish Lake and Little Fish Lake) that are threatened by a gold-copper mining development. The area is part of the Tsilhqot’in ancestral territory and has been very significant to them in terms of both subsistence and cultural and spiritual values. The recorded materials will be useful both for language and culture revitalization projects, and as a contribution to the Tsilhqot’in’s fight for the defense of their land rights.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing:1px"><span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino"> </span><br>
<span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino">We will keep you posted about the outcomes of these collaborations.</span><br>
<span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino">nd there’s a new addition to the Voices of the Earth! We have just established a partnership with the Sacred Natural Sites (SNS) Initiative conducted by IUCN’s Specialist Group on Cultural and Spiritual Values of Protected Areas [links]. The goal of this partnership is to highlight the organic link between the conservation of SNS in indigenous and local communities and the maintenance and revitalization of the oral traditions that convey values, knowledge, and practices relevant to SNS. In the initial stages of this collaboration, Terralingua is contributing to the production of a participatory community video that will focus on oral traditions relevant to the sacred groves of Zanzibar (East Africa). More on this exciting project soon!</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino"> </span><br>
<span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino">The European: Most of our lives will be completely undisturbed by the loss of languages or cultural heritage elsewhere. What are the global consequences?</span><br>
<span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'book antiqua',palatino">Maffi: As humans, we have evolved to differentiate ourselves culturally and linguistically from each other. The role of cultural diversification is similar to the evolution of complex ecosystems in nature: It gives resilience to human society as a whole, just as biodiversity gives resilience to ecosystems. Today, we are converging more and more as diverse cultures assimilate into the dominant model of Western society. As a consequence, the pool of perspectives on human life is being drained. In the past, new solutions to societal and environmental problems could come from non-Western cultures, but that opportunity is diminishing. In the words of the linguist Peter Mühlhäusler, we are developing cultural blind spots. That reality is staring us in the face but we are caught in denial. Read more…</span></div>
