Baku declaration on the recognition, safeguarding, and transmission of the heritage of pastoralist transhumance
Résumé en anglais
The Baku Declaration is a call to action for all actors in the complex and multi-layered governance networks across all countries to sharpen their focus on understanding and valuing the heritage of pastoralist transhumance and how it has shaped landscapes and societies. It also calls on them to embrace the rich diversity of its inherent knowledge systems and landscape expressions, to recognize the key culture-nature benefits these systems deliver, and to support efforts to ensure the documentation, safeguarding and transmission of transhumance knowledge, skills, innovations and the landscapes it has shaped to future generations, while balancing sustainability with associated pressures and trade-offs, and to support initiatives aimed at identifying landscapes that may hold global importance.
