Marine Conservation without Borders promotes scientific literacy and biocultural diversity through bilingual education curriculum focused on concepts and lessons in conservation, biology, and ecology. The curriculum pairs a western European, colonial language of instruction (the language of science) with Indigenous and creole languages focused on communities where these latter languages are peoples’ primary languages (the languages of homes and livelihoods). Our work bridges communities, creating space for new modes of communication that value and promote mutual respect and understanding. The world has big challenges facing the communities comprising it, without spaces for common grounds to be found, communities and their natural environments will continue to fracture. We aim to bind them by equipping them for an improved opportunity of resiliency.
