More on: Biocultural diversity

The podcast episodes highlight the concept of 'biocultural diversity' and its significance in indigenous cultures, emphasizing the deep connections between food, identity, ceremony, language, and responsibility with the land.

The episodes explore the idea of 'kincentric ecology' and critique the appropriation of indigenous practices in concepts like 'regenerative agriculture'. They also discuss the vulnerabilities faced by queer and trans communities during disasters and the need for decentralized, community-based resilience efforts that learn from and uplift the leadership of marginalized groups.

The episodes underscore the importance of maintaining biocultural diversity through practices that enhance the diversity of local landscapes and ecosystems, and advocate for a queer eco-justice movement committed to reparations and land remediation.
