With extremely different federal, national and local situations, it is interesting to note that some public institutions - universities, museums, research centres, associations - are doing their best to integrate staff and members of the public who are excluded from their activities. Transnational practices and knowledge are tending to emerge from the perspective of Agenda 21 for culture, cultural rights and the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.

Protected areas represent a key tool to mitigate climate change, as they provide several ecosystem services to people, especially the surrounding communities. However, their multiple roles in adaptation or resilience to climate change are often overlooked. In addition, the ecosystem services they provide to populations are mostly unknown, which affects their appropriation by neighbouring communities and, therefore, their protection. Our study consists of evaluating the knowledge of local communities on the role played by the Ivorian Marahoue National Park (MNP) and the ecosystem services it can provide. More specifically, the study aims to question the surrounding communities on the importance of the MNP at the local and national level and the ecosystem services that it can provide as a regional biosphere. The results show that local populations have different perceptions of the role of the MNP, assets, and ecosystem services. However, knowledge is not evenly distributed among neighbouring communities. Teachers and those with higher levels of education better understand the roles of the MNP and have different knowledge about ecosystem services. Although a large part of the population wishes to be involved in the MNP management process, the majority believe that the management of the protected area is poor, and therefore its restoration is unnecessary. To better integrate the surrounding communities into the park's management processes, this research highlights the need to develop awareness-raising projects on the benefits and ecosystem services offered by the MNP at the local level.

After a century of attempts to establish a uniform system for maritime transportation liability, it is somewhat paradoxical that this matter now is sometimes governed by the Rules of the Hague, by the Rules of the Hague-Visby or by the Rules of Hamburg. The author demonstrates how intent to set up a unique international legal framework splintered into a multitude of legal systems that compete with one another for the maritime transportation liability, at the expense of goods owners. Each system continues to impose a ceiling on maritime transportation liability, yet most of them still grant maritime carriers with various exonerating circumstances.
