En el pasado Año Internacional de la Luz, 2015, se volvió a reconocer la necesidad de protección de nuestro hábitat natural como patrimonio de la humanidad y se revisaron las líneas de acción para un uso eco-eficiente de la energía. El sol es nuestra principal fuente, aparentemente inagotable, de energía y, por tanto, nuestro principal patrimonio a proteger. El artista contemporáneo mantiene su responsabilidad como conservador de este patrimonio y actúa como gestor cultural y educador social trabajando junto a científicos e ingenieros en los laboratorios ACT (Arte-Ciencia-Tecnología). En ellos el artista investiga distintas formas de  gestión y aprovechamiento eco-eficiente de la energía solar, crea nuevas intervenciones artísticas y tecno-científicas en el espacio urbano y desarrolla nuevos códigos de lenguaje que sirvan de puente entre la política medioambiental y la educación de la sociedad. Este artículo retomará el concepto de <<escultura social>> promovido por Joseph Beuys para analizar aquellos proyectos artísticos de determinados laboratorios ACT que <<recodifican>> los objetos de nuestro espacio social y utilizan la tecnología solar de manera sostenible con el fin de concienciar al ciudadano de nuestros problemas medioambientales. Por último, comprobaremos si estos proyectos respetan los principios establecidos en los numerosos acuerdos establecidos en las Conferencias de Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo partiendo de la Cumbre de la Tierra Río de Janeiro, 1992 (ECO92) para un desarrollo sostenible del medio ambiente.  En el pasado Año Internacional de la Luz, 2015, se volvió a reconocer la necesidad de protección de nuestro hábitat natural como patrimonio de la humanidad y se revisaron las líneas de acción para un uso eco-eficiente de la energía.

The educational and cultural management of artists in the the AST (Art- Science -Technology) laboratories.During International Year of Light, 2015, nature is recognized as a World Heritage Site nad therefore it should be protected. ONU agreement settles down several lines to conduct an ecological use of energy. Sun provided us our main energy, consequently it is our main World Heritage. Artist must protect it. Scientifics, enginers and artists are working together in AST (Art- ScienceTechnology) laboratories to research about solar energy, to create <> and to develope a new code to connect political-ecological will and social education. This article takes the concept defined by Joseph Beuys in 1982, <>, to discuss about those artistical projects of AST laboratories, which re-define the objects of our social environment, using an eco-efficient solar technology, for a civic education. We will check the international agreements of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) from Río de Janeiro Earth Summit (ECO 92) to prove that these projects are ecoeficients and work for a sustainable development of the environment.

The main goal of this work is to understand the different uses and social practices expressed in Parque do Flamengo [Rio de Janeiro, Brazil], a World Heritage Site since 2012. Much more than just a leisure space, disputes and tensions are also manifested in Aterro do Flamengo. Sports, commercial, educational, recreational, spiritual and medicinal practices inscribe in this site different logics as well as different memories and body techniques. In the practices of work, sporting and commemorative that were observed in 2018, the body appears as a place of memory. In our analysis, we used a hermeneutic-interpretative approach and a relational anthropological look. The methodology used in this work, has a qualitative nature and makes use of bibliographic and fieldwork research and also photography.

 Abstract: The article deals with aspects that define the importance of the historical and archaelogical site of Valongo Wharf, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, for the history of enslavement of Africans and their descendants in the Americas and especially in Brazil. In addition to highlighting the relevance of this property, recognized in 2017 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it also addresses its significance as a historical site of sensitive memory and a place of memory for the Atlantic traffic of enslaved Africans. Throughout the text, key ideas such as sensitive past, violence, pain and suffering are discussed in historical perspective, which indicates possibilities of comparison with other spaces in the world, considering human tragedies and concepts used in the studies on these processes. Finally, the text analyzes other elements around the history of the Valongo Wharf region as space of resistance and affirmation of the black populations.Keywords: Valongo Wharf. History of Slavery.

Ecological management based on the ecosystem approach promotes ecological protection and the sustainable use of natural resources. We developed a quantitative approach to identify the ecological function zones at the country-scale, through integrating supply and demand of ecosystem services. We selected the biologically diverse hotspot of Baoxing County, which forms a part of the Sichuan Giant Panda World Heritage Site, to explore the integration of ecosystem services supply and demand for ecosystem management. Specifically, we assessed the various support, provision, regulating, and cultural services as classified by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. We applied the InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs) model to spatially map habitat quality, water retention, and carbon sinks, and used statistical data to evaluate food products, animal husbandry, and product supply services. We then quantified the demands for these services in terms of population, protected species, hydropower, water, and land use. The relationship between areas of supply and areas of demand was discussed for each township, and the spatial variability in the supply–demand relationship was also considered. As a result, we spatially divided the county into six ecological functional areas, and the linkages between each region were comprehensively discussed. This study thus provides a detailed methodology for the successful implementation of an ecosystem management framework on a county-scale based on the spatial partitioning of supply and demand.

The Wadden Sea ecosystem is unique in many respects from a biological perspective. This is one reason why it is protected by national parks in Germany and by its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In biology didactics, there are only a few studies that focus on the Wadden Sea. This work investigates students’ word associations with the two stimulus words “national park” and “UNESCO World Heritage Site”. The survey was conducted among students living directly at the Wadden Sea and among students from the inland. The analysis of the identified associations (n = 8345) was carried out within the framework of a quantitative content analysis to be able to present and discuss the results on a group level. A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups. Overall, results showed that the students made subject-related associations as well as a large number of associations to both stimulus words that could be judged as non-subject-related. In some cases, a connection with the region of residence could be found, but this was not generally the case. Even students’ immediate residential proximity to the Wadden Sea is no guarantee that they have knowledge of the two considered protection terms.
