However, the ecological functions of birds transcend their biophysical features, representing socio-cultural constructs, such as beliefs, ways of life, identities and languages.

Wetlands are network supporting bird migrations, which symbolise connections between people from different backgrounds (sense of place).

People and wildlife have coexisted for millennia. Birds have also been recognised in the cosmovision of different cultures and play critical biocultural functions.

But biocultural memory is housed, maintained, transferred and transformed in the territories.
Biocultural refugia are physical spaces that possess biophysical characteristics, with local knowledge and where the landscape possesses a material and immaterial memory generated by the practices and forms of organisation of the landscape.

The knowledge systems involved in these interactions are transmitted inter-generationally through values, traditions and symbols, calling biocultural memory.
This is defined as the accumulated experiences and histories of the collective management of social-ecological systems.

Perceptions of the functional traits of birds vary according to their cultural context.
On the other hand, cultural and social contexts may filter the composition and diversity of functional traits through practices.

Ecological functions of species: Functional traits

# data[].attributes.body
In ecology, the functioning of ecosystems is largely explained by the diversity of functional traits that exist there.
Functional traits are morphological, physiological and behavioural characteristics that determine the functions of a species in an ecosystem.

None of the crises that the planet is currently experiencing cannot be understood solely from the physical, ecological or social perspectives. Understanding the changes requires an interdisciplinary approach.

Here I present you an approach that considers the world, a region or a community as a socio-ecological system. Both systems are interdependent, changing and adapting to each other. Beyond the relative importance of each subsystem in a given environment, for example forest, city or wetland, the functioning of the socio-ecological system in which it is immersed is strongly influenced by economic, social, physical and ecological factors.
