Construction of way/methodology to identify public perceptions, beliefs, values towards biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods. 3. Identification and mapping of the areas vulnerable –Natural science criteria –Socio-economic, legal and political –Cultural-spiritual perspective How We work in LiveDiverse

32. LiveDiverse 4. The construction of a GIS vulnerability data base 5. The identification of the biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods ‘hot-spots –a high risk (according to the natural science criteria) –and a low capability to manage those risks (according to the socio-economic, cultural-spiritual and political criteria). 6. The use of the knowledge gained in these processes to construct biodiversity and livelihood scenarios.
