Cultural heritage includes tangible [[culture]] (such as buildings, [[monuments]], landscapes, [[books]], works of [[art]], and [[artifacts]]), intangible culture (such as folklore, [[traditions]], [[language]], and [[knowledge]]), and natural heritage (including culturally-significant landscapes, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiversity biodiversity]).
