Hello ethnobiology tribe! I'm new to the tribe sites. Since I love the diversity of nature & co-created gardens, I also love the diversity of cultures on the earth. I found a great video (?youtube like) on the web and wanted to share the link since it was great to listen to.
When we support the preservtaion of the language of indigenous cultures we also increase the preservations of diversity of species and the knowledge of how they are used.

Please come to my site and let me know what you thought of the video on my blog and say hi.

I'm Slowly developing my personal page and would love to hear from a few folks. Thanks, Dancing Earthwalker here is the info I'm passing on below:

Ethnosphere online video by Wade Davis, a National Geopgraphic Explorer.: www.ted.com/talks

This video is excellant and and worth listening to. Wade is also coming to Seattle to give a talk this February. If you want more details post me a question on my blog module on my tribe page.

Wade talks about the ethnosphere as being the sum of all the "thoughts and dreams, ideas and myths, institutuions and aspirations, brought about by the human imagination."

He is speaks passionately about preserving the ethnosphere especially through the indigenous languages. He sais "every language is an old-growth forest of the mind....an entire ecosystem of spiritual possiblities"

It is worth the time to listen to this free online video that runs about 15 minutes or so.
