CALL FOR TENDER FOR RESEARCH ON CULTURAL IMPACT ON BIODIVERSITY 2Cohabit is pleased to call for a tender for a research to establish the cultural impact on biodiversity. The research is aimed at establishing the effects of cultural activities of individuals, the community as well as regional activities on biodiversity and come up with a viable solution that will ease cultural impact on biodiversity and forester sustainable growth.Cultural impact on biodiversityThe primary objective of the research is to evaluate the cultural impact on biodiversityand come up with co-operative and collaborative actions which the organization should take toeffectively equip members of the community with the necessary information and tools requiredto help reduce impact of humanity on the environment and ensure sustainable growth (McBeath& Leng, 2006). Background to the proposalCohabit is working in partnership with the Department of Forestry and Natural ResourceConservation to evaluate the relationship between cultural practices and deforestation. The studywill be conducted in neighborhoods, schools as well as in the department of Forestry and NaturalResource conservation to evaluate how culture can enhance a sense of environmentalresponsibility as well as what can be done to ensure the development of a conservative culturethat will ensure environmental sustainability (Rajesh, 2016). Similarly, the research is meant tocome up with necessary measures and policies that should be put in place to protect theenvironment. Just as the earth is large, so are our impacts. Human beings are not the sole occupants norare they the most important species on earth. Cultural activities of individuals, communities as

For instance, both human beings and otherspecies such as animals depend on forests for their survival (Ormsby, 2013). As a result,deforestation affects not only man but also other species some of which cannot survive amidstchanges in their natural habitats (Parotta, et al. 2016). Therefore, as much as human beings cutdown trees for economic benefits, there is need for them to learn ways of limiting destruction aswell as promoting diversity. This way, all species occupying the earth will learn to cohabit.Culture plays a significant role in the protection of forests. Ancient cultural practicesviewed forests as being sacred and used them as shrines and therefore had in place forestprotection policies not just due to scientific knowledge. As a result, culture emphasized on theneed to protect forests hence protection of biodiversity. According to Rajesh (2016), protectionof biodiversity is essential in ensuring long-term sustainability. Parotta et al (2016) point out thatthe rural cultures still value the protection of forests due to the role the forests play in the culturalpractices. Nonetheless, they point out that urban cultures engage in activities which negativelyimpacts forests due to their cultures which do not value the need of forest protection. Forinstance, urban dwellers have cultures such as cooking habits which encourage the use of forestproducts such as charcoal. Similarly, various industrial activities in the urban areas lead to the release of harmfulwastes such as greenhouse gases which contribute to forest fires. As a result, culture has asignificant impact on biodiversity (Gueze, 2015). Therefore, the research should evaluate theimpacts of culture on the sense of environmental sustainability. Similarly, due to the threat tobiodiversity caused by the rising rate of urbanization, the research should evaluate how aconservative culture can be developed in the present cultural context to promote environmental
