Biocultural diversity conservation for island and islanders: Necessity, goal and activity

---

Cultural diversity is highly dependent on the regional environment and natural
resources. From an environmental historical perspective, the course of destruction of human civilization
resulting from the depletion of ecosystems and resources, we confirm how the sustainable
use of resources and appropriate conservation strategies are contributing to regional development.
Due to the recent rapid changes in climate, the environments of oceanic and island regions are
changing and the ecosystems and biological diversity are also undergoing significant changes. Island
residents are very vulnerable to the changing natural environment, and diverse cultural characteristics
and ecosystem knowledge that has been maintained up until now are under a threat of gradual
extinction. Traditional culture and knowledge are related to the survival of islanders. This situation
is understood throughout the world; in response to which, international organizations such as the
IUCN and UNESCO, etc. have also put forth continuing efforts in preserving the life, cultures,
ecology and knowledge of the island regions. This paper purports to provide a brief description
of the international trends and backgrounds based on the ‘Island Biocultural Diversity Initiative’
and the latest activities.
