Sommario/riassunto: It is becoming clear that the Mediterranean region is one of the ""hottest"" of the biodiversity hotspots on the planet. There is also an increasing concern for the conservation, adaptive management, and restoration of the unique natural ecosystems and cultural landscapes that characterize this area.
