MONTIS &#8211; Nature Conservation Association is a non-governmental, non-profit and national organization whose main objective is to manage territories with nature conservation and biodiversity objectives. The central philosophy of action is based on the knowledge of the natural processes to conduct them in a way favorable to the management objectives. For example, to the detriment of tree planting actions (which we do, in addition), we prefer to use natural engineering techniques that retain soil, nutrients and water as a way of increasing natural capital and enabling a more rapid and vigorous natural regeneration. The project that is the subject of this application concerns the management of an area of \u200b\u200b100 hectares of the wasteland of Carvalhais, parish of Carvalhais, S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul, which has been granted to us for a renewable period of ten years.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_width_percent=&#8221;100%&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0|0px|0|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|||||false&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0%|||&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; bg_img_2=&#8221;https:\/\/montisacn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180719_114405.jpg&#8221; padding_left_right_link_2=&#8221;false&#8221; padding_top_1=&#8221;2%&#8221; padding_left_1=&#8221;10%&#8221; padding_1_tablet=&#8221;|10%|3%|10%&#8221; padding_1_phone=&#8221;|10%||10%&#8221; padding_1_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; padding_2_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.10.2&#8243; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; padding_right_1=&#8221;10%&#8221; padding_bottom_1=&#8221;2%&#8221; padding_top_bottom_link_1=&#8221;true&#8221; padding_left_right_link_1=&#8221;true&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.10.2&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The area in question is located in the upper third of the Arada range, and has no mature plant formations. It corresponds to the evolution of a traditional grazing area, at this moment nonexistent, being covered by fires with a return period of about ten years. The management objectives are aligned with the management guidelines for the site PTCON00047, Freita and Arada mountains, aiming to increase the biological content of the area, taking into account unfavorable weather conditions, frequent fires and very poor soil. Although the project does not have specific measures for the conservation of the wolf, it has management objectives that, in the long term, intend to benefit the population of bucks, in articulation with the repopulation programs that are occurring in the region, increasing the riparian forests, and the mosaic of habitats. Fires and fires are identified in the Sector Plan of the Natura Network as one of the main threats to the conservation of the values \u200b\u200bprotected by the Habitats Directive, and for this reason the project has fire management as a key to its development , integrating fire as a management tool, not seeking to exclude it from the system.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>[et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; height=&#8221;400px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.10.2&#8243;] \u00a0 [\/et_pb_divider]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_width_percent=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0|0px|0|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|||||false&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;2%|||&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; padding_left_right_link_2=&#8221;false&#8221; padding_top_1=&#8221;3%&#8221; padding_left_1=&#8221;10%&#8221; padding_1_tablet=&#8221;|10%|3%|10%&#8221; padding_1_phone=&#8221;|10%||10%&#8221; padding_1_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; padding_2_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.10.2&#8243; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.10.2&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The area in question is located in the upper third of the Arada range, and has no mature plant formations.
