June Newsletter

Dear all,

Welcome to our new members! Thank you for joining us and continue to spread the word!

This time, we travel to Mongolia. In Mongolian, “nature” can be expressed as “baigali” (Байгаль, ᠪᠠᠶᠢᠭᠠᠯᠢ), echoing the name of Lake Baikal.

If you want to share your stories about the worldviews of nature, please feel free to contact us. Texts can be short and the format is free.

If you have any other information to share with the network (events, new publications, conferences, call for paper, etc.), let us know and we will spread the word.
