Cultural Heritage
Cardno’s international development portfolio spans significant geographic and cultural regions. Working amidst this diversity, our professionals are acutely aware of the importance of cultural heritage for current and future generations. Cardno helps communities to preserve their cultural heritage and, as needed, helps protect cultural heritage from the adverse impacts of project activities so that indigenous communities remain strong. When conducting environmental and social impact assessments, Cardno’s team often includes anthropologists or sociologists with a background in local cultural heritage issues. In Afghanistan, Cardno created a dialog to build support for activities, which included integrating women into project interventions.
In tourism development, Cardno’s teams are interested in how indigenous people can benefit from the expansion of ecotourism to preserve and promote their culture and way of life. This could include working with communities to develop handicraft products or tours of the medicinal herb farms used by the community for generations.
Cardno always adheres to host country laws on the protection of cultural heritage and ensures that internationally-recognized best practices for protecting cultural heritage are implemented.
