G. Puddu et al. 2010. L<strong>and</strong>scape transformations seen through the historical cartography: Sardinia as case study<br />

397<br />

The most known picture of Sardinia in terms of l<strong>and</strong>scape, is linked to pastoral customs <strong>and</strong><br />

habits, in which the aesthetic component is the diffusion of pasture l<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> the increase of<br />

forests implies a strong environmental change that have to be taken into account in territorial<br />

planning strategies, since it’ll lead to the new (“old”) forest issue of relation between pasture<br />

<strong>and</strong> wood. Given that, in less than a century, the biological <strong>and</strong> ecological drives led forest<br />

systems to occupy spaces <strong>and</strong> territories (when these would be able to support forest growth),<br />

then a remark on “Habitat Directive” model in Sardinia (but also in Mediterranean basin) is due<br />

since a wide protection is reserved to semi-natural open areas, derived from (continuous)<br />

anthropic rehashing, even to the detriment of woods. If the dreaded destruction of forest habitat<br />

seems not to be occurred in 60’s, as several Authors identified as the main cause of extinction<br />

<strong>and</strong>/or reducing in animal biodiversity on the Isl<strong>and</strong>, then the reasons of this extinction should<br />

be better analyzed <strong>and</strong> understood (e.g. trespassing, agriculture industrialization, urban<br />

expansion, industrial development).<br />
