This project investigates bird names in Guarayu (glottocode: guar1292), a Tupi-Guarani language from Bolivia. José Luis Cuñapiri, Miguel Guayarabey and Swintha Danielsen document the names of birds and the knowledge about them, also drawing attention to the loss of biodiversity in the region.
The resulting book was printed in Bolivia in 2024 and distributed to schools, libraries, teachers, and activists. You can find the project report here.
