Involving youth through heritage education in the conservation of the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras, Philippines

The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras located in the mountain areas of Northern Luzon, were inscribed in the World Heritage (WH) List under criteria (iii), (iv) and (v) in 1995, as an organically evolved, living cultural landscape of outstanding universal value. Produced by the Ifugao ethnic group, the terraces are tangible testimonies of intergenerational transmission of their Indigenous worldview which represents harmony between humankind and the environment. In 2001, the property was put in the WH List in Danger due to deterioration caused by extreme weather conditions and socio-cultural changes, notably outmigration, loss of Indigenous knowledge and erosion of customary social institutions. The Save the Ifugao Terraces Movement (SITMo), a grassroots non-profit organization, is partnering with local and national governments, and scientific institutions for raising youth awareness on the interlinked cultural and natural values of the Rice Terraces through heritage education enabling their conservation.

Nature for Youth and Cities: Reconnecting youth with nature through education, training and citizen science

Establishing the link between urban populations and nature is increasingly considered as an important element of sustainable cities as it contributes to improving the quality of life and public health of society. Yet, intense urbanization in Ankara, Turkey, is negatively impacting on nature in and around the city. The Middle East Technical University (METU) covers 4,500 hectares of mostly natural and pristine ecosystems, presenting a unique opportunity to re-engage citizens with nature.

 

The aim of the project was to reestablish the link between the youth of Ankara and nature. The project also aimed at inter-city knowledge exchange to observe similar programs and activities in the UK, Greece and Italy. The project had 4 main activities:

  • Mobilization and capacity-building of young people for experience sharing on nature education programs
  • Development of educational programs
  • Establishment of the “Nature for Youth and City Centre” program
  • Dissemination of the model in other selected campuses and institutions
