      Since 2020, the GEODE laboratory from the French National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Toulouse 2 (UT2J), the University of Genova (Italy), the University of Granada (Spain), the University of Durham (UK) and the University of Montenegro (UoM), among others, worked together in a research about Living Rural Heritage and Sustainable practices of mountain communities in Europe, focusing in study sites of 5 countries: France, Italy, Montenegro, Spain and United Kingdom. These territories have been relatively disadvantaged through time, since they have generally been far from the centers of power in their respective contexts. But they are today still alive and used. However all of them have a very reduced activity in comparison to the late 19th<\/sup> or early 20th<\/sup> centuries when the different sites were at their peak in terms of demography and the use of these landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As a result, the IRIS Project stands as an international collaborative project which supports the sustainable use and development of rural landscapes of upland territories, incorporating all four pillars of sustainability \u2013 cultural, social, economic and environmental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      These territories have been the cradles of cultures and economies which developed in balance with the nature they depended on during thousands of years.\u00a0<\/strong>Many are still conserved today in spite of impending menaces such as depopulation, aging, abandonment of old sustainable practices, the loss of traditional skills, land-use change driven by detrimental planning decisions and global economic trends. However, they persist thanks to the endurance of local communities and benefit society at large through their culture, traditions and know-how, constituting a powerful tool for the future.

      The IRIS Project mapped out some examples of such upland territories and aimed to advance their understanding, protection, use and promotion.\u00a0The project researched and developed a \u2018living rural heritage\u2019 approach to conservation, promoting the concept of \u2018protection through use\u2019 of upland environments and adjacent rural areas<\/strong>. Through intensive and participatory research at a European level and knowledge exchange, IRIS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
