Supported by a timeline that highlights human impact on the Alentejo landscape, the Montado and Agroforestry Interpretation Center offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the evolution of the region’s ancient oak forest. From its origins to its transformation into the medieval Montado, this journey reveals the adjustments and challenges that have shaped this landscape over time, presenting it as one of the earliest systemic approaches to nature.
Additionally, we explore the future of the Montado, considering the introduction of diversifying elements to create a more resilient system to face future challenges. From climate change to the growing need for food production and carbon sequestration, this center provides valuable insights into how the landscape can adapt and thrive.
