  • Forest Fire Prevention Plans in National Parks: Ordesa Nacional Park and Monte Perdido1
    Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Fire Economics, Planning, and Policy: A Global View Forest Fire Prevention Plans in National Parks: Ordesa Nacional Park and Monte Perdido1 Basilio Rada,2 Luis Marquina3 Summary Protected natural spaces contribute to the well being of society in various ways such as maintaining biological diversity and quality of the landscape, regulation of water sources and nutrient cycles, production of soil, protection against natural catastrophes and the provision of recreation areas, education, science and culture, aspects which attain maximum relevance in the lands under the protection of the National Park. The singular nature and the high degree of protection to a large extent limit management, since the principles of conservation and natural processes prevail in these areas. Nevertheless the inevitable responsibility to ensure now and in future, the ecological economic and social functions of these spaces goes on to assume a management model on the lines of compliance with the Pan European Criteria for Sustainable Forest Management. In 2000 management of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido Park , in the Spanish Pyrenees which was declared a natural park in 1918, took the initiative to devise a Plan for the Prevention of Forest Fires in the park and its surroundings which may be a reference for the other parks comprising the network of Spanish National Parks. The Plan analyses the effectiveness of current protection resources, supported by cartography which aids decision making, fuel maps, fire risk, visibility, territorial isochrones and areas which at the same time plan the necessary measures to guarantee the protection of this space, which in many areas is inaccessible due to the steep landscape.

  • A Centennial Path Towards Sustainability in Spanish National Parks: Biodiversity Conservation and Socioeconomic Development (1918-2018)
    Chapter 8 A Centennial Path Towards Sustainability in Spanish National Parks: Biodiversity Conservation and Socioeconomic Development (1918-2018) DavidDavid Rodríguez-Rodríguez Rodríguez-Rodríguez and JavierJavier Martínez-Vega Martínez-Vega Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.73196 Abstract National Parks (NPs) were the first protected areas (PAs) designated in Spain one century ago. NPs are PAs of exceptional natural and cultural value that are representative of the Spanish natural heritage. Currently, there are 15 NPs in Spain covering almost 400,000 ha, although new site designations are being considered. Spanish NPs’ main objectives are closely linked to the sustainability concept: conserving natural and cultural assets in the long term and promoting public use, environmental awareness, research and socioeco- nomic development. Here, the history of modern nature conservation in Spain is sum- marized, with special focus on NPs. Moreover, the main monitoring and assessment initiatives in Spanish National Parks are reviewed. Finally, the major results of two cur- rent research projects focusing on the sustainability of Spanish NPs, DISESGLOB and SOSTPARK, are provided. Keywords: protected area, assessment, sustainable development, Spain, history 1. Introduction Places set aside to conserve natural resources such as forests, plants, animals (chiefly game animals) or waters have existed for centuries. European and Asian kings and noblemen estab- lished royal reserves or game reserves in their dominions. Those ‘reserves’ forbade or restricted access and use of resources to laymen for pleasure and enjoyment of the privileged, who were entrusted management and conservation of such sites.

Los espacios protegidos de montaña son lugares de estudio especialmente válidos por la sensibilidad de sus sistemas ante los cambios ambientales del pasado. Singular relevancia adquieren los sistemas morfogenéticos endokársticos. Las formaciones espeleotémicas y los depósitos de hielo fósil que se encuentran en las cavidades del Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido resultan ser archivos excepcionales de in- formación de los cambios hidrológicos y térmicos del último ciclo glaciar. Este estudio muestra los re- sultados derivados del seguimiento instrumental de varios parámetros ambientales e hidrológicos dentro y fuera de una serie de cavidades, por un lado, y, la reconstrucción paleoclimática a partir del registro isotópico obtenido de los espeleotemas, por otro. Así, se presentan nuevos datos de la variabi- lidad climática en el Parque desde los últimos 60.000 años, con especial énfasis en el Holoceno (últimos 11.700 años) y, con mayor detalle, en los últimos 2000 años.
