Group

Recognition and understanding of the natural and cultural values of landscape, seascape, heritage, species and their ecosystems are fundamental in holistic landscape research. The Biocultural Landscape and Seascape research group, coordinated by Prof Pungetti, aims to support the link between ecological and cultural diversity, and to demonstrate ways in which biocultural landscape can contribute to the conservation of both nature and culture. The group at CBLS is linked to IALE International, SIEP and the Universites of Cambridge, Toronto, Mokpo and AUB.
