Implementing natura 2000 in farmed landscapes: The serra da estrela, Portugal [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In order to halt the loss of biodiversity in Europe and to implement Natura 2000, there is an urgent need to identify opportunities for striking a balance between the Natura 2000 objectives and the rapidly changing socio-economic conditions in farmed Natura 2000 sites. Taking the Serra da Estrela as an example, it is shown that, due to traditional farming, the conservation status of Natura 2000 habitats here in general remains higher than in Europe as a whole, especially concerning habitats that depend on farming. Traditional farming in the Estrela could until recently continue as a result of historic socio-economic and political administrative conditions, but finally the old economic basis of farming has virtually disappeared. Options for balancing Natura 2000 objectives and socio-economic conditions are discussed, taking into account the issue of wide-spread wildfires occurring at present.
