传统文化对生态保护的贡献国际实践与案例

Contribution of Traditional Culture to Ecological Protection: International Practices and Cases

国际上对于传统文化与生态保护的关系,已基本上达成共识:一方面借鉴传统文化知识进行生态保护,另一方面在生态保护的同时保护传统文化。近20年来,传统文化对生态保护的贡献,以及两者相辅相成的关系,在全球范围内得到越来越多的认可和支持。联合国等国际组织制定了相应的原则,很多国家也制定了相关法律、法规和原则,以促进传统文化在生态保护工作中的主流化。

Samburu people, who are native to the semi-gobi and semi-desert area of Kenya, know the characteristics of animals and plants well.

In the traditional culture of the Sundarbans region of India, people respect the nature as a mother, and villagers volunteer to protect wildlife and stop poaching. The islanders of the Federated States of Micronesia have restored their traditional agriculture and consciously protected local natural resources including the mangrove forests around the island.
