Gianyar (Antara Bali) - Some 200 representatives from 31 countries are
participating in the 17th International Conference of National Trusts
(ICNT 17) 2017 themed "Our Cultural Heritage, the Key to Environmental
Sustainability."
The participants discussed, among other things, animal conservation
efforts, Catrini Kubontubuh, chairperson of the Indonesian Heritage
Trust, stated here on Wednesday.
The conference, which is held from Sept 11 to15, 2017, explores the
connection between cultural traditions and concerns for sustainable
development.
The participants will share their experiences, both scientific and
practical, on conservation towards a sustainable environment.
The ICNT 2017 Bali is expected to convert experiences into concrete
and practical solutions, so that local residents can strengthen their
culture and improve their quality of life while conserving their
environment.
Delegates will have the opportunity to discuss topics ranging from
ways to strengthen culture in a dynamic development process to managing
and promoting it across the world, in addition to including culture and
heritage in development policies and programs.
Delegates will also examine specific issues, namely the impact of
economic development on cultural landscapes; the relationship between
cultural rights and social development; issues of heritage preservation
and poverty; disaster risk forecasting and management; and the impacts
of climate change.
