Although the term biocultural diversity, introduced to denote this link, is being used increasingly, there has been little critical reflection on what it precisely refers to. I argue that it is used with particular reference to \u2018indigenous traditional\u2019 people, but that there is scope for extending its application within biocultural discourse. I therefore review the concept of culture and discuss what constitutes cultural values of the natural environment. I conclude that the concept of culture must be understood as involving a dynamic process of transcultural exchange and constant re-articulations of tradition resulting in the persistence of certain cultural practices. This approach clearly reveals that the concept of biocultural diversity is also applicable to non-indigenous traditional communities.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-99424\" data-postid=\"99424\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-99424 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the late 1990s the relationship between biodiversity and human diversity has received increased attention, resulting in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":99406,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[105,121],"tags":[237,297],"class_list":["post-99424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-documentation-centre","category-information-and-sensitization","tag-biodiversity","tag-cultural-values","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99424"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99425,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99424\/revisions\/99425"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.silene.ong\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
