Sharing a World of Differences

Linguapax wanted to dedicate a book to the relationship between the biological, cultural and linguistic diversity of the planet and, in 2006, we chose to contribute to disseminate a concise and compelling work, fruit of the cooperation of Terralingua, the World Wildlife Fund and UNESCO by publishing a multilingual version in Catalan, Spanish and French. This publication provides a general introduction to the complex field known as biocultural diversity and presents some of the most important challenges faced by sustainable development under the cultural and educational perspectives. (48 pages). The original English text and other language versions can be downloaded from the website of Terralingua. In 2015, the Linguapax delegate for Senegal, Fary Silate Ka, coordinated the edition of the wolof version.
