It is being increasingly recognised that cultural and biological
diversity are deeply linked and that conservation programmes should
take into account the ethical, cultural and spiritual values of
nature. With contributions from a range of scholars, practitioners
and spiritual leaders from around the world, this book provides new
insights into biocultural diversity conservation. It explores
sacred landscapes, sites, plants and animals from around the world
to demonstrate the links between nature conservation and spiritual
beliefs and traditions. Key conceptual topics are connected to case
studies, as well as modern and ancient spiritual insights, guiding
the reader through the various issues from fundamental theory and
beliefs to practical applications. It looks forward to the
biocultural agenda, providing guidelines for future research and
practice and offering suggestions for improved integration of these
values into policy, planning and management.
