    Brief

    This opportunity seeks a contractor to conduct a comprehensive literature review examining Intangible Cultural Heritage (Living Heritage) practices and their application in nature recovery initiatives. The successful contractor will synthesize findings from published and grey literature, then develop a draft guidance annexe using a provided template to facilitate discussion and alignment with partner organisations. The work will include: (1) a thorough literature review on relevant ICH practices; (2) creation of a draft annexe with practical guidance for applying these practices in nature recovery; (3) development of 3-5 short case studies demonstrating current or potential applications of ICH practices in nature recovery projects; and (4) provision of publication-ready photographs with appropriate permissions and licensing. The deliverables should be accessible to non-specialist audiences and provide actionable insights for organisations seeking to incorporate cultural heritage approaches into environmental restoration work.
