> protocols with owners, farmers and agricultural managers

 

Several management protocols have already been established with owners, farmers and agricultural managers to implement concrete measures in temporary pond complexes, in order to guarantee the sustainability of investments made in terms of restoration and recovery of this priority habitat.

These protocols, which included sustainable management plans with harmonious practices for the maintenance of this habitat, cover 18 Temporary Ponds within the Community Importance Site of the Southwest Coast, which makes it possible to preserve them in the medium and long term. Examples of land with Temporary Ponds complexes are: Herdade das Casas Novas, Herdade do Freixial, Vila do Bispo Forest and Samouqueira Pine Forest where, in addition to restoration and habitat recovery interventions, demonstration actions were also carried out with management measures.
