After describing the main regional characteristics of the area, we focused for each island on the two major economic activities impacting terrestrial biodiversity: agriculture and tourism, each time presenting their local specificities. We then move on to a transversal analysis of the economic sectors in agriculture encountered and try to sketch perspectives that could be further explored for the promotion of HNVf in the area.
