 The Specialist Group on the Cultural and Spiritual Values of Protected Areas (CSVPA) seeks:

  • to investigate the interface between humanity and nature;

  • to promote the integrated management of the natural and cultural heritage;

  • to harmonise cultural and spiritual aspirations with the conservation of nature.

In this context, the Delos Initiative focuses on the sacred natural sites in developed countries throughout the world (such as Australia, Canada, the European countries, Japan, New Zealand and the United States of America). Its main purpose is to help in maintaining both the sanctity and the biodiversity of these sites, through the understanding of the complex relationship between spiritual / cultural and natural values.
