Destruction and Conservation of Cultural Property
In 1991 the mosque at Ayodhya in India was demolished by Hindu fundamentalists who claim that it stood on the birthplace of a legendary Hindu hero.During recent conflicts in former Yugoslavia, ethnic groups destroyed mosques and churches to eliminate evidence of long-term settlement by other communities.Over successive centuries, however, a single building in Cordoba functioned as a mosque, a church and a synagogue.The Roman Emperor Diocletian's Palace in Split is occupied today by shops and residential apartments.What circumstances have lead to the survival and reinterpretation of some monuments, but the destruction of others?This work asks whether the idea of world heritage is an essential mechanism for the protection of the world's cultural and natural heritage, or whether it subjugates a diversity of cultural traditions to specifically Western ideas.How far is it acceptable for one group of people to comment upon, or intercede in, the way in which another community treats the remains which it claims as its own?What are the responsibilities of multinational corporations and non-governmental organisations operating in the Developing World?Who actually owns the past: the landowner, indigenous people, the State or humankind?

What are the interactions between natural environment and cultural environment in geography?
The interactions between natural and cultural environments in geography are complex and interconnected. The natural environment, including factors such as climate, topography, and resources, shapes the cultural practices and lifestyles of human populations. In turn, human activities and cultural practices can have significant impacts on the natural environment, such as deforestation, pollution, and habitat destruction. These interactions are studied in the field of cultural ecology, which seeks to understand how human societies adapt to and modify their natural surroundings. Understanding these interactions is crucial for sustainable development and conservation efforts.

What is the difference between the cultural and natural environment?
The cultural environment refers to the human-made surroundings that influence our way of life, including beliefs, customs, traditions, and social interactions. On the other hand, the natural environment encompasses the physical elements of the Earth, such as landforms, water bodies, climate, flora, and fauna. While the cultural environment is shaped by human activities and values, the natural environment is the result of natural processes and interactions. Both environments play a crucial role in shaping our experiences and interactions with the world around us.

Biodiversity : Threats and Conservation
The term "biodiversity" or "biological diversity" describes the variety of living beings on Earth encompassing microorganisms, plants, animals, and ecosystems, such as coral reefs, forests, and deserts.In fact, it also represents a wealth of biological resources available to us.Today, instead of exploring and preserving its unmapped biodiversity, mankind has gone away from mother nature, conquering the domain through relentless exploitation.This has resulted in an ecological imbalance and thereby has posed serious threat to biodiversity.Declining biodiversity is, therefore, a concern for countless reasons.Biodiversity’s wealth of genetic information can be conserved by storing biological material from endangered species.Cell lines, gametes, and embryos are preserved so that in case a species becomes extinct or there is a need to increase the population of the species, then cloning and artificial reproductive techniques can be used to revive and reproduce the said species.The present volume discusses the biodiversity of specific animal groups, such as cnidarians and fish, as well as potential risks to and methods for conserving some of them.The following important aspects are addressed: 1. The importance of biodiversity in maintaining ecosystem balance for sustainability 2.The emerging role of biodiversity as a source of important materials, pharmaceuticals, food, and so on as such or through genetic manipulation to meet the contemporary and future challenges 3.The impact of environment degradation on biodiversity and conservation in a changing environment 4.Conventional and emerging biotechnological techniques to conserve biodiversity The book is intended for academics, scientists, and naturalists working in the fields of biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and biomedical sciences.

Is batik cultural appropriation?
Batik is a traditional Indonesian textile art form that holds significant cultural and historical value. When individuals from outside of the Indonesian culture appropriate batik without understanding or respecting its cultural significance, it can be considered cultural appropriation. However, if people from other cultures engage with batik in a respectful and informed manner, such as by learning about its history and supporting the artisans who create it, it can be a form of cultural appreciation rather than appropriation. It is important to approach the use of batik with sensitivity and respect for its origins.

Is this cultural appropriation?
Without knowing the specific context or details of the situation, it is difficult to definitively say whether something is cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation occurs when elements of a marginalized culture are adopted by members of a dominant culture without proper understanding or respect for the original culture. It is important to consider the power dynamics at play, the intentions behind the actions, and whether permission or credit was given to the original culture.
