Bridging Cross-Cultural Knowledge Through a Bilingual Biosecurity Glossary

This chapter outlines the issues in the development of a multi-disciplinary social science and science glossary related to biosecurity management in Northern Australian and Eastern Indonesia. Specific issues related to bilingual, bicultural communication as they relate to the growth of biosecurity research capacity are addressed. For the last 3 years, the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for National Plant Biosecurity (CRC NPB) has conducted a project managing biosecurity across borders based on partnerships, collaboration, and cooperation between various institutions in Australia and Indonesia. It became apparent early on that knowledge about the biosecurity issues of communities on both sides of the border was limited. As a result this unique glossary of terms called Glossary of Biosecurity Management was developed. This glossary documents and defines the cross disciplinary terms necessary to understand the community management of biosecurity (CMB).
