It has become more and more accepted that nature conservation is
not possible without taking into account human activities. Thus an
integrated approach to both the natural and cultural heritage is
being encouraged and developed. Gathering a number of distinguished
authors with diverse backgrounds (from a religious leader to
academics to conservation scientists), the book aims to investigate
the relationship between human beings and nature, between nature
and culture. Looking at nature as 'heritage' of the human race is a
recognition both of the tremendous impacts (both positive and
negative) that human activities have had on the natural
environment, as well as the acceptance of human responsibility for
managing our planet in a sustainable and sensitive manner. The
texts included examine this interface between human beings and
nature in specific places (from the Everglades in Florida and Mont
Saint Micelle in Atlantic France, to the UK, Europe and the
Mediterranean), as well as on a theoretical basis, and in the
context of the international biodiversity conventions.
