 Culture has historically been distinguished from nature, but that dichotomy has come under attack in many disciplines: the study of heritage is no exception (Harrison 2015). A sharp distinction between the two seems particularly ill-placed in cultural contexts where nature figures prominently, as is the case in many indigenous and aboriginal cultural contexts. For instance, if relationships with the land (Figueroa &amp; Waitt 2010) or particular plant and animal species (Whyte 2017) are of particular cultural significance, then a dichotomy between natural and cultural heritage can fail to accurately represent the beliefs and practices of these cultures. Moreover, some endeavor to illuminate theoretical approaches to the value of cultural heritage via conceptual tools from work on the value of nature, arguing that we should treat heritage conservation like nature conservation, importing common thinking about the intrinsic value of nature into our thinking about cultural heritage (Harding 1999). However, dissolution of the contrast between natural and cultural heritage is also subject to objections. For instance, discourse surrounding nature can bring with it methods and understandings that reintroduce problems into discussion of cultural heritage, such as the elevation of cultural heritage to a “universal” value (discussed further in  section 2.2)  that can disenfranchise or displace local cultural communities (O’Neill 2002), or as a non-renewable resource on par with common thinking about the value of nature, leading to state intervention (Meskell 2011). As a consequence of the collapse between these two domains, some argue
