The book collects a selection of the papers presented at the
meeting held in the context of the Joint Programme on the Links
between Biological and Cultural Diversity (JP-BiCuD). Recognizing
the inextricable link between biological and cultural diversity,
the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological
Diversity (SCBD) joined forces, and in 2010 launched the Joint
Programme on the Links between Biological and Cultural Diversity
(JP-BiCuD). The first meeting for the implementation of the
JP-BiCuD was held in Florence (Italy) in April 2014 and produced
the UNESCO-sCBD Florence Declaration, which highlights the concept
of biocultural diversity. The European rural territory is
predominantly a biocultural, multi-functional landscape, providing
a crucial and effective space for integration of biological and
cultural diversity, suggesting the need to revise some of the
current strategies for the assessment and management of
biodiversity.
