Definition of theme |
Natural heritage includes landscapes, coastal areas, rivers, geological (rock) formations, wildlife habitats or general flora and fauna. These types of naturally occurring scenes can be of interest to anyone from local residents, tourists, historians or scientists for a number of reasons. As a result, natural heritage is often protected through the use of conservation programmes or other kinds of protection schemes.
However, for practitioners in small towns, not only the ‘outstanding’ aspects of nature should be treated as natural heritage.
