"We have ... achieved a better understanding of the nexus between the diversity of living beings and
the diversity of cultures - which together make up the diversity of life on the planet. Nurturing human
diversity through culture-based conservation, maintenance of traditional knowledge, revitalization of
local practices of natural resource use and governance have become equally important objectives of
IUCN as those of conserving species and ecosystems - because ultimately they are profoundly
linked realities."
--IUCN 2008
