Se trata de un ejercicio intelectual que busca clasificar bienes, espacios, especies\u2026 solo a los fines de simplificar su comprensi\u00f3n. Pero esa clasificaci\u00f3n condiciona nuestra percepci\u00f3n, al punto de observar la naturaleza por un lado, y la cultura por otro: estamos ante un problema.<\/p>\n<p>La realidad es que, incluso cuando recorremos el paisaje m\u00e1s urbano, es f\u00e1cil comprobar que las especies silvestres est\u00e1n presentes, al igual que el suelo, el agua y el aire. Del mismo modo, cuando caminamos por un ecosistema silvestre est\u00e1n presentes los aspectos culturales: a veces de modo invisible, como los top\u00f3nimos, los mitos, las leyendas, las canciones, la historia, los nombres populares de los animales, los usos medicinales de las plantas.<\/p>\n<p>La disociaci\u00f3n de &#8220;lo natural&#8221; con &#8220;lo cultural&#8221; suele reforzarse con la comunicaci\u00f3n brindada en los lugares emblem\u00e1ticos de uno y otro lado. Por ejemplo, en las \u00e1reas naturales protegidas los folletos y carteles muestran la flora o la fauna, pero rara vez los componentes culturales (hist\u00f3ricos, antropol\u00f3gicos, arqueol\u00f3gicos y folkl\u00f3ricos). Algo equivalente ocurre cuando visitamos un museo hist\u00f3rico: todo muy lindo, pero la naturaleza no aparece.<\/p>\n<p>Desde una mirada integradora aparece el patrimonio. Es decir, el legado integral (natural y cultural) de las generaciones que nos antecedieron. Ellas seleccionaron objetos, sitios, personajes, especies y hechos con los que se identificaron en su tiempo. Nosotros no solo los recibimos: los resignificamos, los ratificamos, los descartamos o los renovamos. Por lo tanto, el patrimonio es una construcci\u00f3n social, basada en la valoraci\u00f3n, el sentir y el conocimiento del presente.<\/p>\n<p>Por eso, distintas sociedades se identifican con un inventario patrimonial que var\u00eda con el tiempo, aunque siempre con un mismo fin: hilarlos para entramar un relato sobre su identidad.<\/p>\n<p><em>Claudio Bertonatti es muse\u00f3logo, naturalista y docente, con posgrados en Management Ambiental y en Jardines Bot\u00e1nicos Hist\u00f3ricos.
