What will it do for the language and culture of Bro Ddyfi?
UNESCO are placing a greater emphasis on the role of Biosphere Reserves in the safeguarding and promoting of local knowledge and culture. The ‘Seville Strategy’ which governs the development of Biosphere Reserves says as a key part of its vision: “Connections should be made between cultural and biological diversity. Traditional knowledge and genetic resources should be conserved and their role in sustainable development should be recognized and encouraged.” This offers the chance to place the culture, language and history of Bro Ddyfi at the heart of plans for the future of the whole valley and integrate them across all sectors. This is a new field for UNESCO and if Bro Ddyfi takes up the challenge, we can expect to see a lot of attention focused by UNESCO on what happens here.
