Cumulative global transformations, occurring daily, affect
important aspects of our life. Characteristic cultural and natural
heritage, including sites of priceless value, is under constant
threat. There are growing pressures, of both natural and human
origin, such as wars, con icts, natural or technological disasters
and the effects of global climate change. These provoke the
continuous degradation of many sites included in the World Heritage
List. In consequence, immediate strategic measures must be taken.
Natural heritage is our legacy from the past, that we inherited
from our ancestors and pass on to future generations. It is vital
to realize its value and protect it by all possible means,
enforcing innovative and sustainable action plans that promote
global international co-operation. This book aims to address speci
c natural heritage sites in Europe, from West to East. The six
countries of study interest are Portugal, Malta, Greece, Italy,
Romania and Turkey. For each case, the corresponding current status
is presented. This is accompanied by recommended action plans for
protection and conservation, tra- ing initiatives that improve the
public awareness of natural heritage issues and efforts to estimate
the natural/environmental value of the sites. The book is the
overall result of an interregional initiative aiming to promote
convergence, provoke public interest and recommend action for
radical changes in our attitude towards heritage conservation.
