Biodemocracy expands the limits of pluralism in an ecological context based on scientific data. It can be defined as an understanding of democracy that recognises our planet as a web of life and emphasises the interconnectedness on earth. In the process of ecological crisis with devastating consequences such as climate change, biodiversity decline and deforestation, it takes the inclusive perspective beyond the anthropocentric understanding. It aims to shape decision-making processes and policies in line with ecological principles and to promote the protection of biodiversity. The biodemocratic approach is a redefinition of democracy based on the interconnectedness between all living beings. Therefore, the biodemocratic perspective is worth discussing in terms of extending the limits of human ethical responsibility in the process of ecological destruction to the least visible living beings. The research group Biodemocracy and Inclusive Linguistic Practices focuses on the role of the field of translation in contributing to transformation in the context of linguistic practices. It offers an ecological aspect in terms of awareness of vulnerable and/or disadvantaged groups who are at higher risk of negative impacts due to factors related to age, gender, health status, disability, ethnicity or socio-economic conditions. Thus, this research group aims to raise awareness of all groups within the aforementioned scope through inclusive language and translation practices.
