Intangible Culture
"Intangible cultural heritage" consists of non-physical aspects of a particular culture,
more often maintained by social customs during a specific period in history. The
concept includes the ways and means of behavior in a society, and the often formal
rules for operating in a particular cultural climate. These include social values
and traditions, customs and practices, aesthetic and spiritual beliefs, artistic
expression, language and other aspects of human activity. The significance of
physical artifacts can be interpreted[by whom?] against the backdrop of
socioeconomic, political, ethnic, religious and philosophical values of a particular
group of people. Naturally, intangible cultural heritage is more difficult to preserve
than physical objects.[citation needed]
Aspects of the preservation and conservation of cultural intangibles include:
folklore
oral history
language preservation
Natural Environment
"Natural heritage" is also an important part of a society's heritage, encompassing
the countryside and natural environment, including flora and fauna, scientifically
known as biodiversity, as well as geological elements (including mineralogical,
geomorphological, paleontological, etc.), scientifically known as geodiversity. These
kind of heritage sites often serve as an important component in a country's tourist
industry, attracting many visitors from abroad as well as locally. Heritage can also
include cultural landscapes (natural features that may have cultural attributes).
Aspects of the preservation and conservation of natural heritage include:
Rare breeds conservation
Heirloom plants
