Mountains for Sustainability: guardians of biocultural heritage

Mountains are essential for ecosystems, acting as guardians of biodiversity and providers of resources vital to humanity. They also hold a valuable cultural heritage comprising monuments and traditions developed and preserved by communities settled in these regions.

We will reflect on the biocultural heritage of Biosphere Reserves, focusing on their mountainous ecosystems.

This event, held as a “living lab”, is intended for those responsible for promoting Portuguese and cross-border Biosphere Reserves. It aims to explore the characteristics and challenges of bicultural heritage and to empower participants to enhance it through digital communication.
