- Afternoon in Two Concurrent Symposia
|
|
|
| Protected
areas provide many benefits: environmental, economic and social
and yet there has been limited assessment of the multiple
values of these areas. Consequently, such values are generally
not reflected in national decision making processes. This
symposium will identify and explore the many values of protected
areas. A range of perspectives will be highlighted, including
those from indigenous people, the private sector and protected
area managers. |

Celebration
of the Sacred and Non Material Values of Protected Areas
by Indigenous and Traditional Leaders from around the World.
20:15 – 21:30 //
I C C Main Plenary Hall
The Special Ceremony on the Sacred Dimension of Protected
Areas
Many indigenous and traditional peoples around the world
have inherited from their ancestors an ancient, traditional
belief system centered on the notion of being an integral
part of the whole of the universe. As part of this holistic
vision, nature and all its components – earth, mountains,
plains, caves, plants, animals, humans, stones, water, wind,
moon, fire, sun, stars – are
held sacred. (...)

Special Screening of the Award-Winning Film - "In the
Light of Reverence"
In the Light of Reverence documents Native American
struggles to protect landscapes of spiritual significance.
The film tells the stories of three communities and places
they care for: the Lakota at Devils Tower in Wyoming, the
Hopi in the Four Corners area of the Southwest, and the
Wintu at Mt. Shasta in California.
Narrated by Peter Coyote and Tantoo Cardinal, the film explores
obstacles to religious freedom for land-based practitioners,
and impacts on sacred sites that range from mining and ski
resorts to New Age practices and rock-climbing. In the Light
of Reverence was nationally broadcast on PBS in August,
2001.
