Falcoaria ONU Património da Humanidade

[malcata]

"The announcement we have all been waiting for was made a few minutes
ago in Nairobi - "Falconry, a Living Human Heritage" has been
officially inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity; the culmination of six years
of work. Our vice-president Bohumil Straka is currently attending
UNESCO’s 5th Session of the Intergovernmental Committee in Nairobi and
has just telephoned to give us the great news. .

Obviously the submitting nations already have plans to celebrate this
event in their newspapers and other media and many countries that were
not directly involved in the submission may also have their own ideas
for publicising it. Attached to this email is our IAF press release
document, simple in content, designed to attract the attention of
newspaper editors who, we hope, will run it as a news story and follow
up with longer features in the coming weeks.

If you wish you may issue this simple IAF Press Release to editors
immediately, in translation if necessary and with contact details for
your own organisation and quotations from your own dignitaries. You
may also cut-and-paste into the press releases of your own national
clubs. There are photographs available on www.falconer.eu

A more detailed article. including acknowledgments, is in preparation
for distribution to the specialised falconry magazines, the hunting
press and to club newsletter and journal editors.

The important thing is that we use the UNESCO inscription to promote
falconry in a very positive manner and this first press release may
help.

Yours,

Gary Timbrell

IAF Public Relations Officer.
