New resources feature benefits and value of cultural practices

By Mercedes Muñoz Cañas  (IUCN-Med)

Aiming to strengthen the knowledge of links between cultural practices (such as traditional farming, livestock breeding, traditional grazing and other agro-silvo practices) and the maintenance of biodiversity across the Mediterranean, project partner IUCN-Med shared the results of the study Links between agricultural practices and biodiversity in Mediterranean Landscapes”, which documents cases across pilot landscapes, and the Mediterranean basin. Additionally, the story map “the legacy of the land” is available as a visual tool to communicate the importance of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
