Our projects focus on diverse aspects of biocultural diversity and conservation to
address the intrinsic link between human cultures and the environment. This approach
emphasizes that cultural diversity is as endangered, if not more so, than species
diversity in many places, but the study of biocultural diversity and conservation
requires a trans-disciplinary approach to understand, communicate and implement findings.
Therefore, our program's research, education and conservation efforts attempt to integrate
the sciences with the humanities, including environmental ethics, Yaghan traditional
ecological knowledge, ecology, art and policy making, among others.
