| Introduction | Agro-silvo-pastoral system of the Leon Mountains has been maintained for centuries, contributing to food security and the livelihoods of local communities. The diversity of land uses with forests (including chestnut groves, beech forests, birches, junipers, oak groves), pastures and areas under cultivation generates a space for coexistence of agriculture, livestock, forestry, gathering, hunting and fishing, giving the area great agro- ecological value. |
