New Biocultural Heritage Website

[Chandra Kishore]

IIED and partners have just launched a new website: www.bioculturalheritage.org

 

"Biocultural heritage includes a wealth of biological resources – from genetic to landscape level – and long standing traditions and practices for their sustainable use and adaptive management. It also describes the bundle of rights that support indigenous peoples and local communities – Traditional Resource Rights.

 

This new website draws on research by IIED, research partners and indigenous and local communities in Peru , Panama , Kenya , India and China . It presents biocultural strategies and methodologies for horizontal networking amongst marginalised communities; and emerging biocultural legal and policy frameworks. It provides guidance and downloadable resources for grassroots organisations, researchers, practitioners and policymakers."
