Cultural Geology, Cultural Biology, Cultural Taxonomy, and the Intangible Geoheritage as New Strategies for Geoconservation

Geoheritage Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Nature conservation largely focuses on biological assets, treating geodiversity as a minor concern. We formally define here cultural geology, cultural biology, and cultural taxonomy, as emerging scientific fields focused on assessing the impact of natural sciences and natural features in the culture. We propose them as fundamental tools for innovative geoconservation strategies, since their integrated application provides a new pathway to achieve a holistic nature conservation, especially when combined with other areas as cultural paleontology and geomythology. These new fields can successfully assist in protecting geoheritage from a broader array of hazards. One of these potentials is to improve the scientist-population communication, leading to a more integrated perception of the geodiversity and biodiversity relevance as natural and cultural heritage, fostering an active role of the public in geoconservation approaches. However, as specified in this paper, these fields are not synonymous of science popularization or education. We also expect to show that adopting the Geoheritage wider definition of Ponciano et al. (Editora Interciência, Rio de Janeiro 4:853–869, 2011) is a better way of achieving the desired results in geoconservation. Finally, we propose that very influential geomyths and geodiversity-centered audiovisual products should be encompassed within an intangible geoheritage category, as a Ponciano et al.’s (Editora Interciência, Rio de Janeiro 4:853–869, 2011) ex situ geological heritage subset, in order to analyze the cultural impact of abiotic features in society under the heritage perspective.
