1
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:50,820
The dehesa covers over 3 million hectares in the Iberian peninsula.

2
00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:53,420
More than a third in the Euroace region.

3
00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:56,740
This is an agrarian system of great natural value

4
00:00:56,860 --> 00:01:01,660
but which, nevertheless, is seriously threatened and about which the information is widely dispersed.

5
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:07,900
Now it is intended that conservation of the dehesa should have another ally: an observatory.

6
00:01:08,180 --> 00:01:13,180
The observatory is going to consist basically of a web page which has three main parts,

7
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,620
one which will be a web of contents specific to the dehesa,

8
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:21,220
which will have information ranging from management systems, manufacture of products,

9
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:25,260
legislation, grants and subsidies, recommended practices and more.

10
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:33,060
Another important part will be the digital library which will initially have over a thousand explanatory and scientific documents,

11
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:40,420
 and a third part will be a geoportal allowing access to geospacial and cartographic information

12
00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:44,780
related to the dehesa and organised in a geographic information system.

13
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:52,220
The main objective is to make access to information about the dehesa easier.

14
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:56,180
It's intended to give a broad, overall picture,

15
00:01:56,420 --> 00:02:00,460
which is easily accessible for those responsible for managing and preserving it,

16
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:04,420
and hopefully to collaborate in taking effective decisions.

17
00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:10,860
Apart from information, this project also conducts its own scientific studies.

18
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:14,780
Another of the parts of this research, apart from the web of the observatory,

19
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:21,580
consists of carrying out scientific studies aimed at resolving the main problems that the dehesa faces at the moment.

20
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:29,460
In this case, we're trying out various prototypes of tree protectors, looking for, not only effectiveness,

21
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:31,740
but also a reduction in their cost.

22
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:40,020
And so, step by step, to manage to look after and make use of all the resources the dehesa offers us.
