THE ISLAND ARK PROJECT: DIGITAL ICH SAFEGUARDING IN PACIFIC ISLAND STATES
Intangible cultural heritage in small island states in under great pressure: the effects of climate change, changing lifestyles, and significant regional migration mean that traditional practices require more intensive and strategic safeguarding. The Island Ark Project, a non-profit organization, works to realize Internet-based safeguarding projects across the Pacific’s small island states to meet these challenges. Founded in 2015, the Island Ark Project is a transnational, volunteer-driven organization that currently focuses on ICH safeguarding in the Republic of Palau.
