会议背景

在人类文明发展的历史进程中，生物多样性与文化多样性密不可分。当今世界由于生物多样性的持续下降及气候变化的不断加剧，可持续管理生物多样性已成全球关注的热点议题。目前许多国家正面临生物多样性丧失，生物多样性资源下降，生物多样性保护困难等诸多问题。同时在许多发展中国家，传统知识——生物多样性的文化表达正在快速消失。为了拯救生物多样性资源和维持生态系统为地球生命系统持续不断地提供所需的服务，当务之急是需要理解、承认、尊重和保护与生物多样性有关的传统知识与文化。

生物文化多样性不仅是世界重要遗产的一部分，也是现代化发展的重要基础。在亚洲的人类历史上，人类在和生物系统及环境相互作用的基础上建立和发展起来了森林文化、农耕文化、医药文化、饮食文化、精神文化及其他的民间文化，生物文化多样性是人类文明不可缺惑的重要组成成分。进入二十一世纪以来，全球化进程正在加速，市场经济越来越向农村扩展。我们面临的挑战是学会怎样在我们亚洲生物文化的摇篮中发展可持续的社会，其中包括维护人们精神层面对自然的尊重，并使之成为技术管理的基础。在亚洲所有的国家，维护持续的生物多样性系统与生产系统是一个迫切的问题；在我们这个社会，更好地理解与生物多样性有关的传统知识与土著文化将在现代化发展中发挥很重要的作用，将会大大有助于生物多样性保护和以生物多样性为基础的经济发展。

本次学术研讨会是在中国云南省第一次组织召开这样一个题目的会议。由于生物文化多样性研究和保护是一个新的跨学科领域，考虑到本次会议议题的广泛程度和生物文化多样性内容的丰富度，本次会议将重点关注亚洲地区，特别是喜马拉雅地区和湄公河地区生物与文化多样性保护的相关问题；会议并将组织参会代表访问考察一些具有生物与文化多样性保护价值的地点和内容。

会议目的

1.     为开展可持续的生物多样性管理和保护，会议将重点交流与分享在与生物多样性有关的传统知识和文化研究中已获得的科学与文化研究成果。

2.     会议的宗旨之二是为大湄公河地区和喜马拉雅地区从事生物与文化保护的同行提供一个讨论与探讨保护药用植物和传统医药文化策略和方法的平台。

3.     会议将为加强和推进从事生物多样性、传统知识、文化保护、农村发展的研究单位、非政府组织、民间传统医生、相关人员之间相互了解，加强联系，为今后开展合作提供更为广泛的渠道。

会议议题

1.     在可持续发展与保护过程中的传统文化和可持续生物多样性管理的途径

2.     大湄公河地区的药用植物保护和传统医药知识的传承

3.     原住民社区对气候变化的感知和应对，探索生物文化途径方法评估当地气候变化状况和趋势

会议议程

Background

Biodiversity and cultural diversity are intimately linked throughout human history. Today sustainable management of biodiversity is a critical global issue as biodiversity resources continue to decline and climate change accelerates. Today the world is facing loss of biodiversity, degradation of biodiversity resources and challenges in biodiversity conservation in many countries. At the same time, traditional knowledge – the cultural expression of biodiversity is disappearing rapidly in many developing countries. Understanding, recognizing, respecting and protecting biodiversity-related traditional knowledge and culture is urgently needed to save the world’s biodiversity resources as well as maintain the environmental services that ecosystems provides for all on the planet.

Biocultural diversity is not only seen as an important part of world heritage but also important basis for modern development. In Asia, biocultural diversity is notable component of human civilization comparing from forest culture, agro-culture, medical culture, food culture, spiritual culture to many other folk cultures that were established and developed on the basis of human interactions with bio-systems and environment through human history. This century will surely see accelerated globalization and deeper expansion of the market economy into rural communities. Our challenge is to learn how to develop sustainable societies in our Asian Cradle of Biocultures including maintaining the spiritual respects for nature such as must underlie technical management practices. Sustainable biological diversity system and production system should be an urgent agenda issue in all countries in Asia and better understanding of biodiversity related traditional knowledge and local culture in our societies will have a great role to play in modern development, contributing to biodiversity conservation and biodiversity-based economy development.

This is the first time to organize as such subject symposium in Yunnan of China. As BioCultural Diversity is a New, Interdisciplinary and Cross-cutting field for research and conservation, considering the wide-scope of symposium subject and richness of biocultural components, the symposium will attempt to have a geographical focus on Asia, in particular the Himalayas and Mekong Region for the symposium to he held in Kunming and Xishuangbanna, Yunnan of China.

2.     To provide a forum for discussion, exploration and formulation of strategies and approaches for conservation of medicinal plants and traditional medical cultures in the Great Mekong Region (GMR) and Himalayas.

3.     To strengthen ties and facilitate regional networking between institutions, NGOs and involving individuals working on biodiversity, traditional knowledge, culture conservation and rural development and herbal doctors.

Symposium Topics

1.     Traditional culture and sustainable biodiversity management for sustainable development and conservation

2.     Conservation of medicinal plants and inheritance of traditional medical knowledge in the Great Mekong Region (GMR)

3.     Indigenous community response to climate change and biocultural approaches to assess climate condition and trends at local level

Symposium Programme
