“…It is of utmost importance to find solutions to these problem, because research results confirm the irreplaceable role of HSAL (Deckers et al, 2005). Moreira et al (2006) observed changes in landscape use in Beira Alta in north-eastern Portugal. They found a decrease in arable cultivation followed by abandonment and the development of succession with gradual afforestation.…”

“…In this study we have explored how FOOPs generate ecological knowledge through nearly 40 years of interactions with the landscape at Organ Pipes National Park. We argue that this type of longterm environmental stewardship produces an emerging cultural landscape with similarities to those described by Moreira et al (2006). To fully understand and learn from such projects, research needs to encompass more than the natural ecological processes taking place and begin to embrace questions about how the form and function of the landscape emerges from the human interactions with it.…”

“…Restoration of a cultural landscape takes into consideration both the biodiversity values of ecological restoration as Ecology and Society 16(3): 19 http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol16/iss3/art19/ well as cultural perspectives. It therefore requires a transdisciplinary approach to understanding that integrates natural science with social sciences, humanities, and local knowledge (Moreira et al 2006). In this study we have explored how FOOPs generate ecological knowledge through nearly 40 years of interactions with the landscape at Organ Pipes National Park.…”

ABSTRACT. Wide community participation in ecological restoration projects is encouraged because of the multiple values generated. However, it is often assumed that volunteer projects cannot contribute to the production of generalizable ecological knowledge because they are locally focused and don't follow scientific protocols or ecological theory. Anecdotally, the many successful volunteer projects suggest that some amateurs possess insight that could benefit restoration ecology generally, but the processes of generating, testing, and sharing local restoration knowledge remains poorly understood. This ethnographic study of the volunteer restorationist organization, Friends of Organ Pipes National Park, in Victoria, Australia, explores local ecological knowledge generation. Our results suggest that there are similarities between amateurs' knowledge practices and traditional ecological knowledge such as extended apprenticeships, narratives, and the importance of experience of place. There are also similarities with practices of science, for example, semistructured planning, monitoring, evaluating, and documenting observations. We conclude that the ways amateurs generate, share, and test knowledge are complex and dynamic, producing a kind of hybrid between local and scientific knowledge.

“…The importance of the cultural landscape in the Mediterranean area is greatly highlighted in the scientific literature and includes the relevant presence of the historic rural architecture, such as viability and routes, stone-made terraces and enclosures, traditional buildings [Moreira et al, 2006;Brown et al, 2007;Cullotta and Barbera, 2011;Petanidou et al, 2008]. Among them, the cultural landscapes of transhumance routes are important examples.…”

In order to verify the potential use of old transhumance routes as tourist resource, the paper intends to illustrate a methodology to assess their conservation state, both in terms of track accessibility and viability, as well as in terms of heritage presence, and shows the results of a survey conducted on the Castel di Sangro -Lucera route (Molise region, Southern Italy). The methodology proposed represents a first step for integrated tourism planning as to the old transhumance routes in Southern Italy, starting from the digitization of the Custom Office historic maps and continuing on through an urgently needed program of conservation and restoration of the tracks supported by cartography and satellite imagery techniques.
