Objectif
The plurality of anthropogenic influenced European ecosystems compose Cultural Landscapes. These main contributors to European biodiversity, quality of life, heritage and identity, are threatened by socio-economic changes and landscape related policy. PAN gathers active research groups of Europe to assemble existing knowledge and develop overall understanding of man as a landscaping factor and to assess vulnerability and functioning of Cultural Landscape and their Ecosystems for dissemination to the scientific, political and public audience. PAN objectives are to develop common strategies, basic scientific tools to protect European biodiversity and to encourage sustainable use; Achieved by cross correlating research efforts and pointing to gaps in current knowledge; Resulting in recommendations for large-scale sustainable development of Cultural Landscapes and criteria to assess the role and function of landscape-management for the protection/conservation of European landscapes.
