Our Commitment to
Accuracy & Cultural Respect

Living Knowledge, Evolving Understanding

At Every Living Thing Connects, we are deeply committed to sharing accurate, respectful, and well-researched information about plants, cultures, and ethnobotanical traditions. However, we recognize that knowledge is living and ever-evolving – just like the plants we celebrate.

​

Our Research Standards

• Rigorous Fact-Checking: Every scientific claim in our Plants and Culture segments is thoroughly researched and referenced with credible sources suitable for academic bibliography.

• Cultural Authenticity: We work diligently to ensure our plant characters' personalities and cultural representations are rooted in authentic traditions, avoiding stereotypes whilst celebrating genuine diversity.

• Ongoing Learning: As new research emerges and our understanding deepens, we remain committed to updating and improving our content to reflect the most current and accurate information available.

​

When Things Change

• Evolving Research: Plant science, ethnobotanical studies, and cultural understanding continue to develop. What we know today may be refined or expanded tomorrow, and we embrace this natural progression of knowledge.

• Regional Variations: Cultural traditions often vary between regions, families, and communities. We strive to represent traditions accurately whilst acknowledging that practices may differ across different areas and groups.

• New Discoveries: As researchers make new discoveries about plant properties, traditional uses, or cultural practices, we're committed to incorporating these findings into future content.

​

We Want to Hear From You
