Is there a relationship between cultural and biological diversity? Are these diversities under threat in our ever more globalizing world, and do we need to safeguard them? Kan hellige naturområder og assosierende kulturlandskap spille en rolle i å bevare både kulturelt og biologisk mangfold?
These and related questions on the interrelationship between the natural and cultural diversity of our planet were addressed at the international symposium on "Bevaring av kulturelle og biologiske mangfold: The Role of Sacred Natural Sites" which took place at the United Nations University (UNU) in Tokyo from 30 May to 2 Juni 2005.
