Abstract:	"This short paper is about sustainable land management in marginal mountain and foot hill areas, which are often protected for their landscape and biodiversity values. Historically, low intensity farming on poor soil maintained the richness of the wildlife and the diversity of the landscape. Collectivisation in the 1950s and the intensification of agriculture threatened the areas’ natural values. To curb some of these adverse effects, Protected Landscape Areas were established in the 1970s and 1980s."
