Konso Cultural Landscape
The Konso Cultural Landscape is an arid heritage site in the Konso Highlands of Ethiopia, consisting of stone-walled terraces and fortified settlements. It exemplifies a living cultural tradition that has adapted to an arid and hostile environment over 21 generations (over 400 years). The landscape demonstrates the shared values, social cohesion and engineering knowledge of its communities. The site also features anthropomorphic wooden statues – grouped to represent respected members of their communities and particularly heroic events – that are living witnesses to a funerary tradition that is in danger of disappearing. Stone monuments in the town express a complex system of marking the succession of generations of leaders.
