Everyone is invited to attend a workshop entitled “Connecting Practice: Linking Culture and Nature Through World Heritage” at the World Conservation Congress (WCC) 2016 in Honolulu. The summary of the event is as follows:
The World Heritage Convention is the leading international instrument for the protection of natural and cultural heritage. However, for much of its history, the two “sides” have operated in parallel but largely separate worlds. Reflecting an evolution in thinking, this session explores how innovative “practice” can create new methods of recognition and management for the intertwined character of the natural, cultural and social value of most landscapes and affiliated biocultural practices.
If you are interested in participating, please take note of the following:
