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? Lahko sveto naravnih znamenitosti in asociativne kulturne krajine igrajo pomembno vlogo pri ohranjanju tako kulturne in biotske raznovrstnosti?
These and related questions on the interrelationship between the natural and cultural diversity of our planet were addressed at the international symposium on "Ohranjanje kulturne in biotski raznovrstnosti: The Role of Sacred Natural Sites" which took place at the United Nations University (UNU) in Tokyo from 30 May to 2 Junij 2005.
