Pursuing only economic efficiency in rapid globalization has led homogeneity of local norms
and culture, especially in indigenous communities. These phenomena represent not only the
extinction of cultural diversity but also the loss of knowledge and wisdom by which we have
been coping with nature over the time.
By rethinking the link between cultural diversity and biological diversity, and its
interdependence, we will discuss how we can contribute to stop biological diversity loss
towards sustainable future.
