Dr. Luisa Maffi is a pioneer of the concept of biocultural diversity—which is the intertwined diversity of life in nature and culture. In 1996, she co-founded Terralingua, which is an international nonprofit devoted to sustaining biocultural diversity. And she currently heads the organization and edits its flagship publication, Langscape Magazine.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Maffi sheds light on what it means to champion a new type of extinction rebellion—namely, a biocultural extinction rebellion; how all of our current forms of political and economic frameworks—socialism, communism, capitalism, and so on—all share a common worldview of natural resources; what might be at stake if we continued to try to only address biodiversity loss without at the same time preserving cultural and language diversity; and more.
