Essays investigating the idea of natural heritage and the ways in
which it has changed over time. The concepts of nature, culture and
heritage are deeply entwined; their threads run together in some of
our finest museums, in accounts of exploration and discovery, in
the work of artists, poets and writers, and in areas that
arecherished and protected because of their landscapes and
wildlife. The conservation ethic - placing a value on the natural
environment - lies at the heart of the notion of "natural
heritage", but we need to question how those values originated,
were consolidated and ultimately moulded and changed over time. In
a contemporary context the connections between nature and culture
have sometimes become lost, fragmented, dislocated or
misunderstood; where did "natural heritage" begin and how do we
engage with the idea of "nature" today? The essays collected here
re-evaluate the role of culture in developing the concept of
natural heritage, reflecting on the shifts in its interpretation
over the last 300 years. Contributors: Martin Holdgate, Marie
