#283 Parallels between Biodiversity and Human Diversity

The Diverse Minds Podcast

Welcome to the 283rd episode of the award-winning Diverse Minds podcast! As we kick off July and prepare for South Asian Heritage Month with the theme "Roots to Roots," I explore the fascinating parallels between biodiversity and human diversity.

Drawing inspiration from my own gardening journey, I discuss how natural ecosystems teach us valuable lessons about creating inclusive, resilient workplaces and communities.

Quotes on Parallels between Biodiversity and Human Diversity

• Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life you'll find in one area, the variety of animals, plants, fungi, and even microorganisms like bacteria that make up our natural world.
• Holistic living systems need difference, and complexity is a really big part of this, and when we have a wide variety of things working in a symbiotic way, it really does support healthy, resilient systems.
• Humans are pack animals, and we cannot do everything on our own and nor should we.
• Connecting and learning about people who are different to us is really good for our minds and hearts.
• Just as we need biodiversity for a healthy world and environment, we need human diversity in workplaces and beyond.
