Details

This conference addresses the ethical dimensions of heritage and conservation, with a focus on the various cultural perspectives that shape our understanding of how to preserve both natural environments and cultural heritage. In a rapidly globalising world, preservation issues must be examined through a cross-cultural lens, acknowledging that different societies have different values, practices, and ethical principles regarding nature and culture.   What lessons can we draw from different cultures' approaches to conservation? How do indigenous and local traditions shape global debates about environmental ethics and cultural heritage? How do we navigate the tensions between global preservation efforts and specific cultural practices?   By fostering dialogue across cultures and disciplines, this conference aims to deepen our theoreticaI understanding of these complex ethical issues while also addressing practical conservation challenges. Scholars from around the world are invited to engage with how diverse cultural viewpoints contribute to global efforts to protect our shared natural and cultural legacies.
