Rapa Nui World Heritage Site ? Initiatives and Challenges for the Risk Management
Maria, Andrea Margotta Ruiz
Rapa Nui National Park, as a Cultural World Heritage Site, is strongly linked to the natural environment that influences the richness of its attributes. However, some risk factors inherent to these nature-culture linkages have been identified in recent years. Among other threats, natural hazards, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, are the object of greater preventive efforts, in which the local community is playing an increasingly important role: Since 2017, the Rapa Nui National Park administration is carried out by the Polynesian Indigenous Community Ma’u Henua, constituted by members of the Rapa Nui indigenous community. In this article, the author aims to show the linkage between the Rapa Nui and Minami-Sanriku Town, an area affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami and visited during the Capacity Building Workshop on Nature-Culture Linkages. Although located far away from each other, the Pacific Ocean and the Ring of Fire have created connections between these two communities in withstanding interrelated disasters. At the same time, this experience has created a bond that relates both communities through shared heritage, which supports their recovery and the community’s resilience.
