STRATEGIC PLANNING AND INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF WOOD-PASTURE HABITATS

The inventory, mapping and assessment of wood-pasture habitats and their functions is one of the main tools for drafting the strategic planning for an integrated area management. In the light of expected or estimated demographic, economic and social changes, as well as of the climate crisis, it is proposed to develop a roadmap with concrete steps to achieve the objective of integrated management, utilizing the best available data, resources, and practices (Figure 2).

For the project to be successful, the interaction and contribution of all stakeholders in the process of policy making and organizational and management decisions is needed. For this process to be effective, the available data, scenarios (models) and methodologies need to be fully comprehensible and adapted to both the profile of the stakeholders and the profile of the decision-makers.
