The project will develop an innovative digital platform that collects, structures and disseminates information on the ecosystem services generated by forestry, agricultural and livestock management, taking as a reference the “Los Palancares y Agregados” Public Utility Forest, located in the province of Cuenca. This mountain, managed sustainably for more than 100 years, is a strategic enclave due to its ecological richness, its diversity of land uses and the existence of an extensive database on its evolution. Its characteristics allow for a rigorous assessment of the impact of forest management on the provision of ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, water regulation and biodiversity conservation.

Its specific objectives include:

• Digitize and structure information on forest management and ecosystem services and their economic and social impact.

• Develop a digital platform for dissemination and access to information.

• Knowledge transfer and collaboration between key actors.

• Collection and organization of historical and current data on the sustainable forest management of the “Los Palancares y Agregados” Mountain.

• Conversion of forest management information into indicators of ecosystem services (carbon capture, biodiversity, water footprint).

• Compilation of information on the economic and social impact of ecosystem services and their potential in the fight against rural depopulation.

• Creation of a digital library with structured data, case studies and training resources.

• Development of digital tools for the visualization of environmental and economic impact information.

• Organisation of workshops and webinars with managers, farmers, companies and administrations to promote the adoption of nature-based solutions in ecosystem services.

• Implementation of measures to ensure women’s participation in the digitalisation and management of ecosystem services, including training and visibility actions.

• Production of audiovisual content.
