The workshop explored the nature-culture linkages for integrated conservation as part of the World Heritage Capacity Building Programme. The learning framework revolved around, among other activities, a fieldtrip to the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range, World Heritage Cultural Landscape since 2004. In contemplating the capacity building process, we present our reflection regarding three areas relevant to Indigenous and customary practices - governance, language and stewardship - in order to contribute to strengthening nature-culture linkages in the Asia-Pacific region. We also present some challenges for the integration of the sacred into the management of World Heritage sites. We conclude that a greater understanding of Indigenous and customary knowledges and their historical development within World Heritage processes will enable more effective management of heritage sites in the Asia-Pacific region.}, pages = {144--151}, title = {Annex 4: The Role of Indigenous and Customary Knowledges in Nature-Culture Linkage}, volume = {SPECIAL ISSUE 2018}, year = {2018} }
