V 2008 at IUCNs 4th World Conservation Congress in Barcelona Spain a motion on the conservation of sacred natural sites was proposed under the coordination of the IUCN Specialist group on Cultural and Spiritual Values of protected Areas. Návrh bol prijatý s 99% podpora od všetkých mimovládnych organizácií a 97% Podpora všetkých vládnych strán prítomných na konferencii a zmenila sa na uznesenie. The resolution now supports and mandates those working in conservation to act on the conservation of sacred natural sites.
