Red de paisajes rurales en la frontera del Duero: Un mapa estratégico de la Meseta Ibérica (Concluded Project)

Description:

The project works in the area around the Duero border (Iberian Plateau Biosphere Reserve), promoting the eco-efficiency of landscape, cultural and heritage resources as well as the protection of agro-ecosystems. The project has developed cartography (“GIS viewer” tool), educational and recreational tools (the “Goose Game”) and has encouraged the reproduction of traditional practices, as a basis for endogenous development and local markets, all of this encouraging the participation of the local population. One example of its actions is the development of a methodology and parameters aimed at creating an ecotourism model that has highlighted several cases of good practice on both sides of the border.
Among the stories highlighted within the scope of the project is that of Inés, “the last goatherd”, protagonist in the “Iberian Stories” of Agencia EFE and LUSA and in the POCTEP video awarded in the Project Slam 2021.
