Description - Transcending the Culture-Nature Divide in Cultural Heritage (Terra Australis 36) by Sally Brockwell

While
considerable research and on-ground project work focuses on the interface
between Indigenous/local people and nature conservation in the Asia-Pacific
region, the interface between these people and cultural heritage conservation
has not received the same attention. This collection brings together papers
on the current mechanisms in place in the region to conserve cultural
heritage values. It will provide an overview of the extent to which local
communities have been engaged in assessing the significance of this heritage
and conserving it. It will address the extent to which management regimes
have variously allowed, facilitated or obstructed continuing cultural
engagement with heritage places and landscapes, and discuss the problems
agencies experience with protection and management of cultural heritage
places.
