The management and preservation of communitarian interest habitats in the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela (Portugal)

Abstract

In this paper we present the management and preservation strategy of communitarian interest habitats which can be found in the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela (PNSE), Portugal. After presenting a general characterization of PNSE, where the main biophysical aspects of the territory are signalled, the description of the main work carried out in this Protected Area, in terms of characterization, improvement, diffusion and management of habitats of communitarian interest to be found here, will follow.
