Description
This project is needed because it contributes to the reduction of social and economic disparities in Europe because it increases the resilience and responsiveness of actors in the PNVG, to climate change (expected result) and develops a replicable model in other regions.
Territorial Program + SOIL + LIFE - Adaptation and mitigation of Climate Change and fight against desertification, in the Guadiana Valley Natural Park, is a pilot project for the design, implementation and evaluation of a territorial program to boost Climate Change adaptation and mitigation and to reduce vulnerability to desertification.
The program + SOIL + LIFE, with a participatory approach, will empower local actors, especially farmers, to adopt good pastoral practices, through a model of local-based governance, which will ensure its sustainability over time.
This result will be achieved through good practices that will be implemented, in a total of 94 hectares, specifically in Monte do Vento, certified organic production and demonstration center of good practices, and other sites, to make an open and inclusive process. The good practices to be implemented will focus on the following habitats identified as priorities in the notice and present in Monte do Vento, with the following habitat classifications: 92d0 - Southern riparian galleries and scrub (Nerio-Tamaricetea and Securinegion tinctoriae), 4030 - European dry heaths and 6220* - Sub-steppe grasses and annuals of the Thero-Brachypodietea. The best practices to be implemented allow an intelligent response to climate change, given the drought situation.
