dc.description.abstractOn the basis of ecological and cultural characterization of the landscape, combined with empirical local knowledge and historic data, this chapter focuses on traditional plant-use in two adjoining natural protected areas at the northern tip of the Spanish-Portuguese border (Iberian Peninsula). The river Douro, one of the major Iberian rivers, known for its impressive canyons, flows across north-central Spain and Portugal to its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean. For a 120-km stretch, the Douro ravines define the frontier between the two countries and create a singular, mosaic-like landscape, shaped by ages long interaction between natural processes and human activities. Despite the physical evidence of a natural border, there is an important shared cultural heritage, with particular significance and similarity in plant-use and local management of habitats and territory. This study shows that to preserve traditional ecological knowledge about plant-use within a transfrontier landscape it is fundamental to overcome difficulties associated with natural resources and territorial management. Moreover, several ideas, tools, skills and effective measures for plant biodiversity conservation are needed, as well as intergovernmental cooperation, which is of crucial importance in an internationally shared landscape.pt_PT
