Zusammenfassung
Le patrimoine culturel immatériel est créé par les communautés notamment en réponse à leur environnement et à leur interaction avec la nature. Les pratiques agricoles, pastorales, de pêche, de chasse et de cueillette sont en effet associées à des ressources et des espaces naturels. Sauvegarder ces éléments du patrimoine culturel immatériel implique, non seulement la reconnaissance du droit d’une communauté à accéder à ces écosystèmes, mais aussi celui d’utiliser leurs ressources. Les États peuvent octroyer aux communautés des droits de chasses, de pêche ou de cueillette pour préserver leur mode de vie traditionnel et le patrimoine culturel immatériel qui lui est lié. Ces droits doivent néanmoins être exercés d’une façon écologiquement viable pour modérer l’impact que ces pratiques peuvent avoir sur l’environnement. À l’opposé, certaines connaissances et pratiques concernant la nature et l’univers peuvent être considérées comme des systèmes de gestion des ressources ou comme des savoirs traditionnels écologiques. Dans ce cas, la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel immatériel contribue directement à la préservation de l’environnement et à la conservation de la biodiversité.

Presentation
Intangible cultural heritage can be created by communities as a response to their environment and their interaction with nature. Farming, shing, hunting, pastoral or food gathering practices are, for instance, associated to natural resources and spaces. Safeguarding these elements of intangible cultural heritage requires, not only recognition of a community’s rights to access ecosystems, such as forests or seas, but also the right to use its resources. States may grant to communities hunting, shing or harvesting rights, to preserve their traditional lifestyle and the intangible cultural heritage it sustains. These rights must however be exercised in an ecologically sustainable manner to mitigate the impact these practices can have on the environment. In contrast, some knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe can be considered as land management systems or as traditional ecological knowledge. In this case, safeguarding intangible cultural heritage contributes directly to the preservation of the environment and to the conservation of biodiversity.
The relationship between nature and intangible cultural heritage is therefore dual: it can necessitate regulation to control the effects of intangible cultural heritage safeguarding activities on the environment or it can be mutually beneficial. In both cases, law has a significant role to play in finding how to balance the need to safeguard intangible cultural heritage with the obligation of preserving the environment. Environmental law’s different protection methods already take into consideration the issues of respecting community knowledge and traditional practices of management of natural resources.
This seminar aims at discussing the legal aspects of various interactions between safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and environmental protection including management of natural resources. To that effect, it will take a closer look at regulations within environmental law that are highly relevant to the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage, even if they do not make an explicit reference to this legal concept. The discussion is intended to foster both comparative and interdisciplinary views, bringing together legal scholars from di erent countries as well as community representatives. This will allow presenting a variety of lessons learned through case studies, theoretical and historical analyses tackling interactions between the national and the regional levels.
Examples of elements of the intangible cultural heritage with a strong link to nature inscribed on the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage’s International Lists:
- fishing: Culture of Jeju Haenyeo (women divers);
- hunting: Falconry, a living human heritage;
- water management system: Irrigators’ tribunals of the Spanish Mediterranean coast: the Council of Wise Men of the plain of Murcia and
- the Water Tribunal of the plain of Valencia;
- forest management system: Traditions and practices associated with the Kayas in the sacred forests of the Mijikenda; and
- traditional agriculture: Traditional agricultural practice of cultivating the ‘vite ad alberello’ (head-trained bush vines) of the community of Pantelleria
