BIOCULTURAL DIVERSITY: SACRAL MONUMENTS AS HABITATS FOR BIRDS

Ivo Machar, Helena Kiliánová, Vilém Pechanec

Biocultural Diversity is considered as a new emerging scientific concept under assessment both historical and natural heritage in European cultural landscapes. This study provides an insight into the Biocultural Diversity concept in the practice. Results of the long-term research (2016-2018) on bird species nesting in unusual types of habitats – sacral monuments such as chapels and churches - indicated high importance of the Biocultural Diversity concept in holistic understanding to joining of historical value of sacral monuments with its significance for natural heritage maintaining in cultural landscapes of the study area Olomouc Archdiocese (Czech Republic).

Keywords: bird diversity, cultural landscape, sacral monuments
