Description de la ressource pédagogique

Description (résumé)

The intergovernmental Ramsar Convention on Wetlands celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.  Its global treaty provisions and conservation policy frameworks have always been based on the best available ecological and hydrological science.  Over the years, however, there has been a growing appreciation that truly sustainable strategies depend just as much on understanding societal factors, Indigenous knowledge, community traditions and contemporary advances in transdisciplinary research.  A body of guidance materials, knowledge exchange initiatives and cooperation activities on the subject of culture and wetlands within the framework of the Convention has consequently taken shape in more recent times.  This presentation will give a brief overview of these and the principles involved.  Particular reference will be made to the role of the Ramsar Culture Network; and the presentation will conclude with some thoughts on prospects for the future.
