JUSTIFICATION SCOPE OF ACTION OBJECTIVES ACTIONS CARRIED OUT FUTURE PLAN AWARDS AND DISTINCTIONS GUIDED VISITS LEAFLETS IN PDF LINKS   Justification of the Project he depopulation of the rural world during the second half of the 20th century has caused, apart from the obvious socio-economic problems, profound changes in the uses of the soil, which have contributed to the detriment and degradation of the natural ecosystems, to the impoverishment of the countryside and of our traditional culture. Initiatives for rural development through the conservation of nature of the Pyrenees    The abandonment of the stockbreeding resources and above all of the traditional farming systems, is leading to a decrease in the number of heads, the decline of transhumance, the standardisation of the uses of the soil and the disappearance of beneficial practices for some threatened species such as the bearded vulture.    Aware of this problem, with this project, the FCQ and the Town Council of Pueyo de Araguas started up an environmental management, education and conservation experiment, whose aim is to demonstrate, in a practical way, that the conservation of biological and landscape wealth is compatible with the development of agricultural, stockbreeding and environmentally-friendly tourist activities. © Prohibida la reproducción total o parcial de los contenidos de esta Web sin autorización de los autores.
