    <pre> Greetings!
            Here's a quick reply with some leads, though you may already have seen them:

    1) Terralingua http://cougar.ucdavis.edu/nas/terralin/ , an organization focusing on the link between linguistic diversity and biodiversity, and the need to preserve indigenous languages (in which indigenous knowledge on the environment is "kept" and transmitted) in order to more effectively protect the latter.

    2) IKDM http://www.nuffic.nl/ciran/ikdm/index.html must have some articles relating to your topic, but I haven't checked.

    3) ELDIS http://www.ids.ac.uk/eldis , the excellent database on development which includes environment- related topics, and is worth a search

    I was also interested to learn a couple of years ago that the FUNDAEC "rural university" in Colombia had begun to work with the Wayuu people in the north of the country. I believe environment was one of the areas addressed, but haven't kept up with what they're doing. If you're interested in that region I can try to dig out a contact.

    All the best!

    Hello:

    I would like to know about different projects working with indigenous peoples that include participatory workshops, extension, education, or community outreach efforts dealing with the value of biodiversity.

    Can anyone refer me to good examples?

    Thanks a lot,

    Maria
