The objectives
As part of the CBD programmes of work on Tourism and Biodiversity, and Article 8(j): Traditional Knowledge, Innovations and Practices and a complementary project to the
CBD workshop series
, the Secretariat of the CBD, in partnership with
Planeta.com
, and the generous support of the
Heidehof Foundation
, is hosting the second Indigenous Tourism and Biodiversity Website (ITBW) Award for 2010, the International Year for Biological Diversity.
The award is aimed at private tourism services, owned and operated by indigenous and local communities embodying traditional lifestyles, and its main objectives are:
To motivate candidates to improve their online communication on biological and cultural diversity
To highlight their best practices in managing tourism in a biodiversity-friendly way
To raise operators and public’s awareness on biodiversity
The award is presented to indigenous tourism operations for their websites that promotes sustainable practices and biodiversity conservation, and educates visitors on cultural protocols. Globally, indigenous communities are the stewards of significant amounts of land with rich biodiversity, and many of them promote sustainable tourism as an additional livelihood option and as a means to share their culture and educate visitors on traditional knowledge. By identifying best practices in this segment, the CBD and Planeta.com, with the support of the Heidehof Foundation, aim to enhance the biodiversity component of indigenous tourism products, to aggregate value to their operations, and to contribute to awareness raising on biodiversity with visitors and hosts alike. This year, the award is part of the celebrations of 2010 as the
International Year on Biodiversity
.
The first version of this award was given out for 2008, to two leading indigenous operators (see the
webpage
). This initiative complements other activities of the CBD in building capacity of indigenous and local communities, such as the workshop series on indigenous tourism, biodiversity and web-based technologies (click
