The LIFE OREKA MENDIAN project is coming to an end after 6 years of work dedicated to the conservation of Basque mountain pastures through the maintenance of traditional livestock activity.

On 14, 15 and 16 November, the Gandiaga Topagunea Conference Centre will host the project’s final seminar, where the main results obtained will be shared, the future of extensive livestock farming in the Basque communal mountains will be discussed and the best practices for restoring and conserving agro-pastoral habitats will be addressed.

Blandine Camus, Communication and Policy Officer at Euromontana, will present an overview of the situation of pastures in Europe.

On the 16th, participants will be able to visit some of the actions carried out in the Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park thanks to the Oreka Mendian project.

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
