“…Since people are experiencing environmental threats related to anthropogenic activity, both cultural and natural properties are susceptible to climate change [67]. Continued reference to and reliance on a nature/culture binary does not bode well for safeguarding WHP appropriately [68]. Indeed, a study conducted by Lowenthal [69] postulates that the natural environment and the recreations of people co-mingle in such a way that "no aspect of nature is unimpacted by human agency, no artefact devoid of environmental impress" (p. 81).…”

Underpinned by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 Statement, this systematic review analyses 58 peer-reviewed articles published during 2008–2021 and retrieved from Scopus and Google Scholar that address the relationship between climate change and UNESCO World Heritage-listed cultural properties. The review reveals a suite of observations that will be important to consider for future research, including: the significant increase in publications since 2008; the prevalence of scholarship focused on the region of Europe and North America; the diversity of research methods and approaches; the instances of climate change hazards; the numerous adaptation measures and barriers. The study also showcases a much greater scholarly concentration on natural sites compared to cultural sites, observing that a reliance on a nature/culture binary does not bode well for the effective safeguarding of cultural World Heritage sites. This article also highlights the need for greater representation from the Global South in terms of both geographic focus and authorship, the lack of collaboration between Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Humanities, Arts and Social Science (HASS) disciplines, the capacity for collective action from different stakeholders, the importance of intangible elements, and the effects of both international and national legal frameworks and regulations.

“…Charpleix (2018) offers a wonderful ALG perspective on the legal recognition of the Whanganui River in Aotearoa/New Zealand as she traces how legal recognition of non-human (the river) evolved. Other work from ALGs in pushing research to unpack this ambitious and ‘progressive’ agenda (Kusiak, 2021) is in full swing (see Gillespie, 2020; Koch and Gillespie, 2022; Lange and Gillespie, 2022). Research that is critical of species privileging is evident in the work of both self-identified and associated ALG scholars, including Carr and Milstein (2018, 2021) and Milstein and Castro-Sotomayor (2020) who address and explore the challenges of making all species visible.…”

Scholarly work in the field of legal geography has grown dramatically in recent decades. While much legal geography scholarship has been influenced by a European-North American perspective, we argue that a distinctive legal geography scholarship also emanates from outside the dominant perspective. Here, we review research from Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa and label this work as Antipodean legal geography (ALG). We suggest ALG research has made a significant contribution to global legal geography scholarship through an emphasis on environmental law and policy problem solving and through efforts to de-colonialise and expand legal geography’s remit.

“…In Japan, Okuyama relates to the mature forest that is often found in mountaintops and sacred coves (cf., core), Satoyama relates to the cultivation created by the harmony of productive socioecological landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS), or farmscapes (cf., buffer), and Hitozato relates to the heavily modified village and agroindustrial cityscapes (cf., periphery). However, with their monoethnic customs, they also include the 4D approach by linking the space with historicity of ancient traditions and seasoned customary practices of land-use and nature worship [52], such as the esoteric Shugendõ lifestyle of Yamabushi priests in Mt. Õmine-san and other sacred mountains of the Kii Peninsula, a World Heritage Site [20,50,53,54].…”

“…The critical construction of heritage discourse of IPLCs is now being incorporated in redesigned modern plans for ecotourism and ethnotourism of MtPAs [65,66] with landscape memory, including national and provincial heritage designated areas [6,12,17,40]. Furthermore, the process of heritagization continues strongly in the global South as countermapping of the process of the World Heritage program allows for inclusion of glocal concerns, including climate change and political invigoration [19,[70][71][72], that will help to use this biocultural heritage strategy as an important instrument in the difficult attempt to attain sustainable, regenerative mountain communities in affective heritagescapes [14] of sentient mountainscapes [19,52,61,62].…”

The interdependence of biological and cultural diversity is exemplified by the new conservation paradigm of biocultural heritage. We seek to clarify obsolescent notions of nature, whereby cultural construction and identity markers of mountain communities need to reflect localized, situated, and nuanced understanding about mountainscapes as they are developed, maintained, managed, and contested in spatiality and historicity. Using the nexus of socioecological theory, we question whether a convergent approach could bridge montological knowledge systems of either different equatorial and temperate latitudes, western and eastern longitudes, hills and snow-capped mountain altitudes, or hegemonic and indigenous historicity. Using extensive literature research, intensive reflection, field observation, and critical discourse analysis, we grapple with the Nagoya Protocol of the Convention of Biological Diversity (COP 10, 2010) to elucidate the benefit sharing and linkages of biocultural diversity in tropical and temperate mountain frameworks. The result is a trend of consilience for effective conservation of mountain socioecological systems that reaffirms the transdisciplinary transgression of local knowledge and scientific input to implement the effective strategy of biocultural heritage conservation after the UN Decade of Biological Diversity. By emphasizing regeneration of derelict mountain landscapes, invigorated by empowered local communities, promoted by the Aspen Declaration, the UN Decade of Ecological Restoration, and the UN International Year of Mountain Sustainable Development, montological work on sustainable, regenerative development for 2030 can be expected.
