A Modern Day Library of Alexandria
Reborn for the Original Knowledge Holders of the Earth

Mission Statement

“To preserve and activate the world’s most endangered Indigenous wisdom—plant medicines, healing traditions, vanishing languages, and biodiversity stewardship—as vital tools for planetary and human survival. Partnering with Indigenous communities from the Amazon to the Arctic, we deploy ethical technology (satellite networks, AI-assisted language revival, and decentralized archives) to ensure remote knowledge keepers can safeguard and share their heritage on their terms. By bridging ancient wisdom and modern science—from neurobiology to regenerative ecology—we protect these sacred legacies not just for Indigenous futures, but for the healing of all life on Earth.”

Vision Statement

“We envision a thriving planet where Indigenous knowledge is honored as humanity’s shared compass—guiding us toward ecological balance, cultural resilience, and collective awakening. This data Centre is a beacon of that future: a living bridge connecting elders in Papua New Guinea to global allies via satellite, proving the power of ancestral practices through Western science, and unlocking biodiversity secrets that can cool the climate and mend broken ecosystems. Here, Indigenous sovereignty and planetary survival unite. Because when ancient wisdom thrives, all beings—human and non-human—benefit.”

What & Why

This isn’t just another data repository. The Global Wisdom Vault is the world’s first physical, digital data center solely dedicated to preserving, protecting, and activating Indigenous wisdom systems, ecological knowledge, medicinal practices, and cultural archives. It’s a living sanctuary where ancient teachings meet cutting-edge technology.

 

The Urgency

  • 80 % of the world’s remaining biodiversity lies on Indigenous-managed lands.
  • No centralized, sovereign repository currently exists to safeguard this collective heritage.

 

What Can Be Done

  • Document Indigenous plant knowledge urgently (but ethically, with consent and benefit-sharing).
  • Train new generations of ethnobotanists and healers. Support language revitalization programs.
  • Protect the land—no ecosystem, no medicine. Build global alliances to preserve and revive ancient health systems.
  • This is one of the most urgent crises humanity faces, and it’s happening largely out of public view.

The Global Indigenous Data Centre

The loss of knowledge about language, healing foods, and medicinal plants is occurring at an alarming and accelerating rate globally. Here’s a concise but powerful overview of how fast this wisdom is disappearing.

Rate of Language Loss (and with it, Healing Knowledge)

  • One Indigenous language dies every 2 weeks, according to UNESCO.
  • Over 7,000 languages exist, but nearly 50% are endangered.
  • With each language lost, we often lose unique, place-based medicinal knowledge—oral traditions that have never been written down.
  • Some linguists estimate that up to 90% of languages could vanish by the end of this century without urgent intervention.

Loss of Medicinal Plant Knowledge

  • Of the 50,000–70,000 plant species are used in traditional medicine:
  • At least 15,000 are threatened with extinction, according to the IUCN.
  • Only 1% have been studied by modern science for their medicinal potential.
  • Elders, shamans, and Indigenous healers are passing away—often with no apprentices.
  • In the Amazon, up to 90% of plant medicine knowledge is undocumented and passed orally—this knowledge is dying with the elders.
  • Commercialization and deforestation are rapidly erasing native species before their healing potential is even discovered.

Cultural Knowledge & Biodiversity Interconnected

  • Areas with high linguistic diversity often overlap with areas of biodiversity (e.g., Amazon, Congo, PNG, SE Asia).
  • Losing cultural knowledge means we’re losing our natural pharmacies, our food intelligence, and our survival strategies as a species.

Speed of Disappearance

  • Some ethnobotanists estimate that 1 traditional remedy vanishes every day, as communities switch to modern diets, forget their foods-as-medicine, or lose access to sacred lands.
  • Every displaced community, every cut rainforest, and every cultural assimilation program accelerates the loss.

Why This Matters

  • These plants and teachings often contain solutions to cancer, inflammation, infection, and climate resilience.
  • Once gone, they cannot be recreated. They are the result of thousands of years of intergenerational experimentation and refinement.
  • This is not just about plants or recipes—it’s about worldviews, ecological relationships, and ways of being that could hold the key to planetary healing.

How Much Traditional Indigenous Medicinal Knowledge Will Be Lost in the Next Decade?

This is one of the most urgent crises humanity faces, and it’s happening largely out of public view. Here’s the most concrete, data-grounded response possible!

Much of this knowledge is directly related to dying elders who are suppositories of wisdom of the ancients who’s libraries of knowledge will die with them.

What is the best way to preserve this knowledge before it is lost forever?

Estimated Loss by 2035

  • Up to 60% of traditional medicinal knowledge could be lost in high-risk regions like the Amazon, Congo Basin, Indonesia, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Brazil and numerous other parts of North America and Oceania.
  • Globally, 25–40% of all Indigenous plant knowledge is projected to vanish in the next 10 years without major intervention.
  • This equates to tens of thousands of plant-based healing recipes, dietary principles, spiritual uses, and disease treatments disappearing—many of which have never been recorded.

Who Holds This Knowledge? Why the Crisis Is So Time-Sensitive

Living Libraries Are Dying

  • Indigenous elders, healers, shamans, and medicine people are often the last holders of sacred, orally transmitted plant knowledge.
  • According to the UN and WWF, every time an elder dies in an unrecorded community, up to 90% of their healing knowledge is lost forever.
  • In some regions, there are fewer than 5 fluent knowledge holders remaining for entire medical systems (e.g., Yolŋu in Australia, certain Quechua healers in Peru, or Inuit elders in Canada).
  • Language loss = Knowledge loss. The moment a native word for a plant or healing ritual disappears, the entire worldview behind it collapses.

Why This Is Accelerating

Globalization, deforestation, climate change, industrial agriculture, displacement, forced assimilation, and death of elders due to poverty and lack of healthcare are all converging at once.

Younger generations are not being initiated, as economic systems pull them toward urban migration.

Big Pharma and bioprospecting corporations have monetized plant knowledge without supporting the keepers or sustaining the ecosystems.

Best Ways to Preserve This Knowledge Before It’s Lost Forever

1. Create Living Knowledge Archives (Digital + Physical)

  • Audio and video record elders in their native language and in widely understood tongues.
  • Document usage of each plant: preparation, seasons, combinations, spiritual meanings.
  • Develop Indigenous-led knowledge banks—not just databases, but sacred storytelling centers (like your proposed Global Wisdom Vault).

2. Train the Next Generation of Healers

  • Fund Indigenous youth to apprentice with elders before they pass.
  • Integrate medicine walks, plant teachings, and ceremonies into education systems.

3. Land Protection = Knowledge Protection

  • Without the ecosystems, medicines and knowledge die with the forests.
  • Support land repatriation, seed sovereignty, and sacred plant sanctuaries.

4. Establish a Global Indigenous Healing Knowledge Council

A coalition of Indigenous nations, herbalists, researchers, and legal experts to:

  • Set protocols for ethical documentation (no exploitation).
  • Protect Intellectual and Cultural Property Rights.
  • Develop community-benefit frameworks so knowledge is never stolen or misused.

5. Create a Healing Earth Archive App

  • GPS-based, language-mapped app where elders can record knowledge by region, plant, condition, ritual,
    or story—in their voice and language, with cultural controls.
  • Integrated our Global Healing Earth Institute & Global Indigenous Wellness Council ecosystem

Final Warning:

Every week of delay means another elder may pass—taking with them a unique medical system
developed over thousands of years, gone forever. This is the most advanced science we’ve never
written down.
