Conservation succeeds best where nature and culture are protected together. Join Chris Rainier and Olivia McKendrick, co-founders of The Cultural Sanctuaries Foundation (a Nat Hab Philanthropy grantee), to learn how Indigenous knowledge, language and tradition are essential to safeguarding biodiversity. Drawing on projects from Mexico’s monarch butterfly forests to Bhutan’s mountains and Mongolia’s grasslands, they reveal why responsible tourism plays a critical role in supporting both cultural resilience and ecological protection.
