The First North American Dialogue on Biocultural Diversity
May 5, 2019 @ 12:00 am - May 8, 2019 @ 12:00 am
The North American Dialogue on Biocultural Diversity will take place from 5 to 8 May 2019 in Montreal, Canada. The Dialogue aims to promote exchange and co-creation of knowledge between different actors to contribute to better understandings of the interlinkages between biological and cultural dimensions of diversity, and the implications for resource management and decision-making processes. It also aims to raise awareness and recognition regarding the role of indigenous languages and of local and indigenous knowledge and management systems, which provide the foundations for a rich and flourishing biocultural diversity.
The objectives of the North American Dialogue are to:
Identify links between biological and cultural diversity in the North American Region, as well as what interrupts these links, while identifying major drivers of biological and cultural diversity loss;
Identify solutions and good practices, actions and actors, at various levels to protect and restore biological and cultural diversity;
Explore synergies between interlinked provisions of the CBD and UNESCO Conventions on culture and nature, and the potential benefits of an integrated approach.
