Ruritage was also active in Santa Maria, one of the islands of the mid-Atlantic Azores archipelago. This small, rural village harbours a vast landscape characterised by this type of wine production and cultivation. São Lourenço and Maia are among some of the centuries-old vineyards of the island, forming a gravity-defying, man-made terraces reminiscent of the Inca and Maya constructions. Supported by Ruritage, the municipality of Vila do Porto together with partners aims to regenerate the landscape by valuing its vineyards and wine-making business, bringing together interests from the environment, agriculture, tourism and culture agencies. With a collaborative rehabilitation approach of the rural heritage landscape, the local community aims to turn things around and develop a sustainable tangible value through cultural, ecotourism and product sales. #CulturalHeritage #LivingHeritage #EuropeForCulture #local #rural #heritage #socinn #food #resilience #landscape #trekking #wanderlust #culturalcare #culturalexchange #culturalawareness #ruralliving #ruralexploration #ruraldevelopment #santamaria #azores

Jaipuria Institute of Management congratulates Dr. Anupam Saxena and Dr. Manisha Seth for publishing a research paper titled "Touchstones for the Development of an Inclusive Approach for Ecotourism as a Service Industry" in the Benchmarking: An International Journal. This study was conducted to analyze the socio-ecological problems faced by the Suhelwa Wildlife Sanctuary and understand its potential and challenges for developing ecotourism following Triple Bottom Line (TBL) principles. The study also benchmarked best ecotourism practices across the globe to create an ecotourism plan that would provide alternative livelihood and help in sustainable management of the area by reducing poverty, dependency on forests, and biodiversity protection.

In this second blog post, I would like to add my two cents to the ongoing debate on the regional development impact of community-based conservation and outline a possible way forward. Drawing on extensive research in southern Africa, I argue that broadening the focus beyond tourism and pursuing income diversification is beneficial for both local communities and conservation.

New blog post! This second article by Linus Kalvelage considers some ways that conservancies can increase their income from wildlife, invest that income in ways that increase regional development, and professionalise their management structures to ensure that resources are used effectively and efficiently. These ideas involve changing the way conservancies currently operate and giving them a bigger role to play in integrated rural development plans. What you think of these ideas, and what others would you like to add? https://lnkd.in/eqzE6hQj
