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? Os sitios naturais sagrados e as paisaxes culturais asociativas poden desempeñar un papel na conservación da diversidade cultural e biolóxica?
These and related questions on the interrelationship between the natural and cultural diversity of our planet were addressed at the international symposium on "Conservar a diversidade cultural e biolóxica: The Role of Sacred Natural Sites" which took place at the United Nations University (UNU) in Tokyo from 30 May to 2 Xuño 2005.
